I am starting think what I might like to offer my September hosts for a recipe. Are there any new sure fire winners yet?
 
The Cheeseburger sliders seem really good for a show. Lots of people are saying they are bland, but I plan on using the trio bowl to have mayo, ketchup and mustard in for guests to add to their slider. Course you can always ask the host what they use to season their hamburgers when they cook out and use the same thing.

Cute idea with the bowl!
 
I loved the Spinach Carbonara Pizza and the French Bread Pizza Bites use lots of tools and tasted AWESOME! My guests loved both of these recipes.
 
That Peanut Butter Cup Torte (is that the correct title--you know the one I mean!!) is to die for--just have to be careful the top one doesn't crumble when you put it together. The first time I made it, I just ended up crumbling it into pieces, added the candy and topping--it still looked good and tasted better!
I also love the Spinach Carbonara Pizza, and am definitely offering the Mini-Cheeseburgers--made these for my family twice already! Can't wait to try the White Chili--I'm thinking of offering this at my Power Cooking Clinic on the 12th!
 
Power cooking CHicken---Cuz they said we were going to have it---luckily someone has a mock one set up----8 Power cooking and
one happy hour---

For our Food Fest September meeting where everyone brings a dish from one of the new cookbooks. I am bringing the Candy Cane Brownie Lollipops. But I want to make them halloweenish themed. Main prob. will be finding a cane with fall colors.

I wish I could remember where in Milwaukee that you can get those candy sticks in lots of different flavors. They're like candy canes but straight. I know Cracker Barrell has them but so do a lot of stores with specialty candy. There are several "fall flavors" in them - cinnamon, candy apple...

I know before Christmas many stores have all the dirrerent flavors and colors in the canes- but couldn't find any now. If you think of the place I'd love to know.
 
baked mediterranean cheese spread is out of this world good. Didn't quite get the ball made, just kind of "molded" it on the stone. Guests went wild for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients are essential for the Spinach Carbonara Pizza?

The essential ingredients for the Spinach Carbonara Pizza include pizza dough, fresh spinach, cooked bacon or pancetta, eggs, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. These ingredients come together to create a rich and flavorful pizza.

How do I prepare the spinach for the pizza?

To prepare the spinach, wash it thoroughly and remove any tough stems. Sauté the spinach in a pan with a little olive oil and minced garlic until wilted. This step enhances the flavor and reduces moisture, preventing a soggy pizza.

What is the best way to cook the pizza for optimal results?

Can I make the Spinach Carbonara Pizza ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the Spinach Carbonara Pizza ahead of time. You can assemble the pizza and refrigerate it for a few hours before baking.
