I know that I did not warm them up and that would have made wrapping them much of a tighter fit. Did you use the huge 12 inch ones? I would use the hold and slice and the forged chef's knife...or bread knife to cut them into pieces that would not be too big. It probably is going to be a bit messy any way if we cut up samples.

Made the Ham/Chicken/Dijon and Chicken Basil wraps for my meeting Monday and they were tasty. Made Buffalo chicken wraps for dinner last night too.
My favorite of all 3 was Chicken Basil. I think that would make a great show demo too. I was able to cool them just a little and cut into 4ths. We did have forks with them but the pieces were big enough to pick up and eat without being too messy.
We also talked about making a double batch and letting guests help assemble. Maybe while the first 3 are cooking, some people are helping assemble the next 3. Cut in half you get 12.
Also made the zucchini fries. I think I was rushing too much when making them... the croutons didn't get as fine as the recipe said in the MFP. It left some chunks. I ended up taking them out and using the tenderizer to mash them up. Going to try more of these tonight with some friends.

Tonight, we had our Team Meeting, and seriously - everything we had there, I liked. It was all good, and I was surprised.
Seven Layer Salad Spread - I made this, and it uses a TON of products, and I LOVED it! (But, Seven Layer Salad is my very favorite salad) Everyone else liked it too, and it was a very pretty presentation
Artichoke Bacon Bites. - YUM YUM YUM! So so so good! I wanted to eat the whole pan!
Chicago Style Hot Dog Bites. I was surprised that I liked these! Some non-hotdog lovers at the meeting didn't though.
Sweet Corn and Crab Poppers - these were also REALLY good! I'm having a Norwex party this month, and I think I'm going to make these for the party!
Southern Fried Chicken Salad. LOVED this! But - it's way too complicated and has too long of a grocery list to do for a show.
Lemon-Cherry Crumble Cake - DELISH! It just needed a scoop of ice cream to make it perfect!

I did try these again last night. Although the recipe didn't call for it we (boyfriend and I) lightly floured the zucchini before dipping in the egg white and breading. It helped things to stick better. Also, instead of putting all the sticks in the batter bowl and tossing to coat, we used all the coating trays. With just a few at a time going in the egg white that helped to get those soaked better I thought.
Also added some Parm/Garlic oil dipping seasoning in with the crushed croutons. Overall - Round 2, very tasty.
Not sure I'd use it for a show recipe because it takes a little while to do all the dipping/coating though.

Had our FoodFest meeting last night- here are some reviews...
Bourbon pecan tartlets- good if you like bourbon. I am thinking of substituting ameretto. They looked adorable.
Mac and cheese in the DCB- said it was a recipe she got from an exec.
Anyone have this? Otherwise I'll try and get her to send it to me.
Brownies in the new pan- she used the Med. scoop so they'd be smaller and just decorated for the holiday.
I did the gooey caramel corn bars. They are very good and pretty easy.
But they were messy to cut- so I'd make them ahead and bring as a 2nd recipe for the summer.
Seven Layer Spread- This was a hit but it is big. I'd halve it and add less peas for those that don't like them.
One director did a huge panini of chicken, spinach, brie and pear. the bread must have been about 8 inches wide. Then she cut it into small pieces for tasting. Very good!
Chicken basil wraps were a big hit too and several were cut into small pieces for tasting.
We also had a fresh pizza from the grocery store on the grill in our new pizza pan. Crust got nice and crispy but there was no grilled flavor to the pizza.
It tasted like it was done in the oven. we cooked it about 15 minutes.
Margarita Bev with alcohol got ho hum reviews. Some said it tasted like a powdered mix. I'll be offerring the Slap Your Mama Margaritas this summer instead.

I've got rave reviews for the rita mixes and even better for the mojita mix. I have been making the basil wraps for my parties, and having the host finish up the grilling (or host's husband). Everyone has loved these and i'm selling lots of citrus basil rub and the round covered baker too (using this RCB instead of the ridged baker to cook the chicken). Im going to be making the blackberry pork stir fry for next month and the broccoli /tomoato orzotto for may.
