We are having a Middle School mom's get together the first part of December. None of these ladies have hosted a show with me and I would LOVE to have one of them at least do it. What would you suggest I make to bring that is a PC to die for recipe? Remember now, this is NOT at my home, so will need to bring it or cook it there.... thanks.
