Ok, see the recipe, a little tired tonight. Thanks.
 
I have had alot of success with chicken your way. I am adding a soup for January.
 
I'm doing a "soup and slippers" show. I'll do the loaded potato chowder or the white chicken chili (with the beer bread with a variation) in the DCB and the bread in the loaf pan (guest special) and a contest with the best, worst, most comfortable, etc. slippers! When I mentioned it to a potential host, she thought that would be so much fun and we set a date immediately!
 
Can someone PLEASE share the Loaded Potato Chowder Recipe? I see everyone talking about, I would love to try it! Love the idea of Soup N' Slippers.

It is in the Fall/Winter '09 Season's Best. Go on to Consultant's Corner, then under the Recipe tab -> Recipes -> Season's Best....
From the drop-down field, you can then select the Fall/Winter '09 book. The recipe will be listed under the Main Dishes category. You select it, and then select "Show my selection". THen you can select if you want the recipe, the shopping list, both, - and if you want to print or email it.


I could post it, but I'm a "teach a man to fish" kind of person. ;) Now you'll know how to find ANY of the Season's Best recipes from the past few years, and can print or email them (including email them to someone else).

Enjoy!

It's also on Consultant's Corner under Products and Recipes tab -> Theme Cooking Shows -> Comfort Foods.
 
I'm making Loaded Potato Chowder or Mex white chicken chili, both with a loaf of beer bread.
 
Sounds like my plan is the same as everyone elses! I have 10 shows this month, starting tomorrow, so I decided they would all be the same, "Soup & Slippers" with the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder. I have my son's Stewy (from "Family Guy") slippers ready to go. And, I thought it was clever, Stewy...Stew...Soup. Anyway, that's my idea, unique, just like everyone else.
 
which recipe do you use?

I am offering four choices: Loaded Baked Potato Chowder, Ultimate Fajitas (I do fajitas and guac but do a jarred salsa cuz I am too whipped to make the salsa too!), Green/White/Red Lasagna, Chipotle Cornbread Bake.

I always make a Chocolate Gooey Cake in the Baker...take two bakers to the shows!

That's it!

What chocolate gooey cake? the DCB?
