for September??

I'm not sure what I am offering for the main, but FOR SURE the molten skillet brownie for the dessert!
 
For August I am doing the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake. For September I was thinking about the pork tenderloin, so it will showcase the deep covered baker. Or I will probably be doing the main dish recipe card recipe if I have earned my 12" by then... I used to do Mom's Apple crisp as it is Apple season, but I really want to showcase a higher priced item...
 
Forget September, what about August?!?!?!!?!?

WOO HOO!! We have a whole month of selling before we start talking about September ladies and gentlemen!

Don't lose a whole month of business. There a lot of people out there that would love to do a show before the fall schedule revs up, who would love to get TOP QUALITY knives at bargain basement prices AND TOP QUALITY cookware with the bookings from their shows. Don't deprive them because you are working ahead!

Any good recipe ideas that showcase the knives and the cookware?

I made the Jerk Chicken Nachos at yesterday's party (in the new catalog that I got at conference).

Cooked the chicken in the cookware and had the host cube the chicken with the Santuko - she raved and raved!! Got August bookings! (and the host is thinking of doing those shows herself!)
 
Sounds good. I wonder how they would be without cheese? LOL, at times keeping kosher can be difficult.

I love, love the santuko.

Oh, sorry - not losing a whole month of business, just WORKING ahead.

I already have my August menu set to include BOTH the knives AND the cookware.

We made the Jerk Chicken Nachos at our Cluster Meeting last night, the only thing we said we would do different is double the sour cream/rub recipe, they were a little on the dry side. The new nutty carmel brownies were wonderful with a little vanilla ice cream.
