What Recipes Are You Offering This Season?

[jessinthekitchen]

I decided that I just want to offer 3 recipes this season- so I'm not constantly having to learn a new recipe for a show. I think it will also make me more comfortable and knowledgeable about the products that I'm using consistently and give my show a better flow.

I was thinking about offering the following:

Apps- Mini Pesto Pizza
Main Dish- Chicken Enchilada Pizza
Dessert- Chocolate Raspberry Cookie Trifle or Pumpkin Trifle


Does that seem like good choices? They would only be allowed to pick one- and if they had 10 confirmed guests coming I would also make another dessert- which would be a dump cake in the DCB.

Those sound good. You offer much more choice than I do. I choose one recipe each month (sometimes two months in a row) and tell my hosts that's my recipe for that month. I have an alternate ready if they simply hate that month's recipe.ETA: This month I'm offering Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Bites. Macadamia Coconut Blondies are my alternate.

I'm doing Chicken Your Way.

If they don't want that, then they get either Mexican Cheese Crisps or Chicken Enchilada Pizza.

I don't do dessert demos.

I was thinking of making the Truffle Brownie Cups for my booth coming up.
Maybe making them Chocolate and orange colored for halloween or pink insides for Breast Cancer awareness month.

Those are both neat ideas!!

I am on the fence about what recipes to offer. I want to do new ones, but two of the new italian ones call for artichokes (which I love). It seems a lot of my contacts don't like artichokes (the heathens!! LOL). Anyways, I have an open house next week, and still can't decide. I want to feature the cookware and the cookie press. I though about doing the cheese crisp recipe from a few years back to show that the cookie press doesn't have to be used just for sweet things. I also thought about having my teenage daughter make the peanut butter cookie presses (from Casual Cooking) to show how easy it is to use. But can't decide. I am leaning towards the enchilada pizza, but using red sauce instead of green. How many recipes do you usually offer at a fall open house?

I'm doing Primavera Potato Bites and Italian Meatball Mini Burgers till November and then switching to something sweet.

I got a large jar of sun dried tomatoes in oil and have told my hosts that I'll supply that....found out the first two shows that the hosts saw it in the store but balked at the price and it really does make a difference in the Primavera Potato Bites.

The Potato Bites get started first and I hand the timer to a guest and have them set it and tell me when it goes off to take the shells out of the oven and then have another guest help me fill the shells.

When those come out, we start on the mini burgers.....which are AMAZING by the way.

This is what I include in the host packet. I like to give my host some options especially since they know their friends the best. I've had guests pick me as their consultant or call me specifically because they said I don't do the same recipe all season. When they book off eachother especially in the same month they want to see something new. It also helps boost sales to show different products.

I almost always do something with the apple peeler, corer, slicer in the fall months.....and I always sell at least one at each show, usually more. I think I'll do the Antipasti Pizza this month and then while it's baking, assemble the Apple Crisp in the DCB and throw it in the microwave for 14 minutes. It'll be done when people are done with the pizza.

Oooo - what are the cookies and cream cheesecake bites? They sound great!

I'd like to offer the Chicken your Way shows, but my Grill Pan & Press are in my storage unit somewhere :/.

I think I am going to stick with a couple of my favorites: Mini Pesto Pizza or Loaded Baked Potato Chowder and then maybe a new one, Antipasti Pull-Apart Pizza.

Still undecided..............
