Did you receive the big tri-fold Celebrations folder? There's an outline for each one of the three shows, as well as recipes and an example of the recipe card that can be handed out at those shows. I would think that would have come with any paperwork packages. I'm not sure how long you've been a consultant, but that would have come with the changeover paperwork I believe when the new season started. I believe you can at least find the recipes on CC.
