could you post the recipe for the Lazy Day Lasagna soup
 
Could you post the Lacy Cheese crisps? Thanks!
 
Hi Mrssylvo,
My director is doing a Soup & Slippers show in Jan. All the guest were their cutest slippers and at the end they all vote on the best and that person gets a prize. I suggested the soup recipe cards and she'g going with that idea. You can even give the Bamboo spoon set.

Aside from the recipe you choose to do you may want to present a bread bowl idea. The recipe cards come with the instructions for making Crispy Bread bowls made from refrig pizza crust. I have also heard you can make them using the back of the mini-fluted pan. I've never tried either but I've heard they are great.
 
Thanks, Tasha!
 
Well, I know the party was in the fall but here is what I am doing with my January shows....

"Soup & Slippers" shows

Since it's cold outside (or it's suppose to be cold) what better way to warm you up than your fuzzy, comfy slippers and soup delicious soup?! Everyone brings their fuzzy slippers and after the demo, we vote on the funniest & prettiest slippers and those people get a "little" prize like a Quik Cut knife or something. Of course, I'm demoing the cookware (Jan Host special) plus doing something on the stones (Feb Host special).
 
Chicken Vegetable Alfredo SoupThe Chicken Vegetable Alfredo Soup found in the Soups, Stews and Chilis Recipe Card Set is WONDERFUL!! I like to make it at winter Shows for a Comfort Food Show.
