What Lighter Dessert Recipes Will You be Demonstrating at Your Shows?

[DessertDivaFL]

FYI - The WHITE baker is still available for sale as long as HO receives the order by June 15. Don't forget that. I sent a mass email out and I am getting orders right and left for a fundraiser show I am holding Saturday and I am submitting it by June 15.

The CRANBERRY one is still available until the end of the month so get the word out. I have 2 other shows and I will sell, sell, sell that baker.

Starting July 1st, I will demo the chicken in the DCB as always because that isn't my MAIN demo. I usually demo something else as the main focus anyway so my show flow will still go. (did you like the rhyme?)

Great idea, Danielle.

Great idea, Danielle.

Thanks Rae. I just have to say to myself, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Then go from there.

You don't think that guests are going to feel manipulated? "And look at what you can order if you Host a show?"

Some people can't host a show but could use the DCB to feed their family.

Dave, I would recommend, That for the guest who says they cant host a show themselfs, then take their names, and invite them to a special Guest appreciation show, and give away host specials including the DCB.

Yes, and no. We can still enter it in P3, but if a customer goes to the web site, its not there to find. I think they removed it just to be safe. It's on back order regardless.Family skillet, family skillet, family skillet!Rectangular, square or deep dish baker!Rice cooker, fluted stone, etc.Maybe I'm not in such a tizzy because I don't like to count on using a tool that may or may not fit in a host's microwave.

Not totally true. The White DCB is on STOP SELL. That means we are not to sell it. Shows dated after the announcement can not order the white dcb. The 15th is given to us as the last day we can turn in May and June shows with it on but those shows must be dated June 6 or earlier. Stop sell means stop selling it.

I agree!
I thought I was the only one who had this thought!
I have a hard enough time "winging it" at a host's house when they buy the wrong ingredients.

One of the first times I offered a DCB recipe, the host picked the DCB recipe. I asked her if her microwave was big enough and gave her the min. measurements. She was SURE her microwave was big enough! When we got closer to the show we ended up going with different recipes. When I got to the house there was NO WAY the microwave was big enough! So I am so relieved we didn't use the DCB.

BUT, here is the bottom line for me. I am SHORT. There are many houses where the microwave is above the stove. There is no way I could do a demo and put the DCB in and out of the microwave at that height level. And, the DCB is heavy. Especially when hot and filled with food/liquid. I am a klutz and I could see it spilling all over me. Haha.

I have suggested DCB recipes when I was familiar with a host's set-up and microwave size.

There are SO many recipes out there that don't use the DCB.

Hmm, didn't realize Keith had trademarked his recipe! :love:

Sarah, Keith does EVERYTHING by the book™

And I have trademarked that phrase!

Beth, I CAN sell the white DCB and submit it in a show by June 15. Read my post a little more carefully as that is what I wrote. Just clarifying for you.

I have received many responses to my email and phone calls to potential hosts. In the past 24 hours I have sold 2 DCB's and booked 1 Cooking Show and 1 Catalog Show for June making a total of 6 Cooking Shows and 2 Catalog Shows for June. Take the lemons and make lemonade.

I guess I'll still offer my same choices:

Tools and Tastings™
Bites & Bevs (Jerk Chicken Nachos or Quesadilla Cups with Nectarine Salsa)
Summer Salads (Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad or Strawberry Spinach Salad)

I'm debating on throwing a dessert option in there. I HATE dessert demos though because then everyone complains about watching their waistline, and I don't think they sell as much.

I've been making the Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle lately but replacing all ingredients with their lighter counterparts (angel food instead of pound cake, light cream cheese, light cool whip, light sour cream) and I did a recipe analysis on it. 218 calories for a 3/4 cup serving is not bad at all!!! I like to lighten up all the PC recipes because, lets face it, I'm TRYING to watch my waistline too!!
