October Show Recipe Ideas, No Dcb

[babywings76]

My host's microwave is too small and I don't want to mess with still using it in some modified way. I'd like to do a recipe in the bar pan or the skillet and I'll do a dessert in the fluted stone. As I'm thinking of recipes, all I keep thinking of are pizzas (Chicken Enchilada, Spinach Carbonara, Chicken Pesto & Tomato Flatbread) or the Zesty Ravioli Skillet. Do you think it seems lame to only give her those options? Is there another great recipe I could offer that I'm forgetting (that isn't a pizza or a DCB one?)

I like any of the baked brie options on the round stone. Very sophisticated.

What kind of host is she & what has she expressed interest in? Low-cost family meals that small kids would like? If so, she might like your ideas better than mine! Or it could go the other way - a night of having something grownup might appeal.

I still do a lot of rings on the round stone and hosts love them - in fact, my last host asked for a ring before I even talked to her about recipes. This time of year I like to offer the Turkey Cranberry Ring and the Chicken Club Brunch Ring is always a good one.

Oh, and kids LOVE rings, they will usually even eat the Ham and Broccoli ring!

She's young with 5 little kids (oldest is 9 yrs, I think). She's a super busy wonder-woman type of mom. (She also sells 31.) Thanks for the ideas!

How about one of the Power Cooking options (chicken or beef) from a few years ago?

Never had a host pick those from my list so I can't say how they are to demo. But I am sure there are threads on here about them.

And the items you listed in your original post are just fine. My hosts always loved the Skillet Lasagna from 29 Min. The ravioli one is the same idea.

How about a recipe from the weekday dinners cards? The DCB ones all have skillet options. I made the turkey tetrazzini skillet option with chicken at a few shows.

I had 3 shows this weekend and made the mile high apple pies at each one. Big hit!! And, with little ones, they are super easy to make, and just the right size for little hands. I made a clubhouse chicken squares ahead of time and took w/me to the shows. That's an idea too.
