I am sending a letter to a host, which I want to get out before I leave for vacation on Sunday.

I am thinking of offering three choices:

* Power Cooking: We make some ground beef and prepare one recipe for your guests, the other 2 go in your freezer for future reference!

* 30 Minute Chicken and Stars and Stripes Triffle

* Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad and a microwave cake.

I realize 2 of these would involve multiple recipes ... but they are purposely designed to be "fix it and forget it" things ... the chicken can cook in the microwave and the cake would have frosting on the bottom ... then we'd invert and serve and whammo ... instant glaze!

Is this too many choices for most people?
 
Sounds good to me, but then I'm someone who has only done one show... :)Number 2 is tomorrow!!

Good luck,

Annabel
 
I don't think is too many choices, but I only offer 1 recipe.
I usually offer 5-6 theme shows and a recipe to go with it and they can choose one.
 
we are leaving for vacation on Monday, where are you going?

Would it be too much to add tropical to the mix? There is not much in that theme that would not use the oven, but jerk chicken salad is a thought ...
 
Jerk Chicken Salad is a big hit! I highly recommend it. It feeds a crowd
very well, and if there are left overs, they are great for the hostess or you
the next day or two!
 
the jerk chick nachos are always a big hit at the parties I have done and I'm the sure the salad would be too.
