Re: WrapsI like the quesadilla idea -- I can't find any of the recipes everyone is talking about -- I saw them at SL but can't find them on our website or the Pampered Chef recipe website??? I have not made a wrap with my grill pan and press and need some instruction :) How long, any oil on pan or tortillas etc...I planned on making wraps for a show next Friday but the quesadilla may be more efficient...so same questions for quesadillas...thanks! btw a great direct selling idea I got from a 'jewelry' friend when discussing the frustration of cancellations -- she gives incentives for things such as keeping the date first booked, getting orders before the show etc. I plan to start using this -- $5 (in product) for 5 orders before the show, $5 for keeping the date, $5 for having 15 or more guests, $5 for 5 orders after the show and $5 for over $1,000 in sales...since the last 2 items require waiting until after the show date, I can order the item at the 30% discount : )

The wraps are in the new spring seasons best, you should have gotten one in your changeover supplies. If not, on CC in the recipe section, select the Seasons Best Recipes. As of right now, you could download a pdf version of the whole Seasons best. The link is above the drop down box where you normally select the SB version you want.

No oil for the quesadillas when I make them. I pre-heat the press wth the grill pan and usually flip after a minute or two.
