Winners of Free Cooking Show Share Inexpensive Recipes & Beverage Ideas

[elizabethfox]

I have a few people who won free cooking shows from me, and I am just wondering if anyone has any inexpensive recipes I could do. Also if you have any beverage ideas I would appreciate it too.

Thanks:sing:

I buy chix breast and block of cheese - divide them up into amount for the recipe and freeze. Then get out what you need. I believe that this is a very inexpensive recipe. I still use the bread tubes because that way I tell people about the outlet. If you don't want to use the bread tubes, once I used a pack of dinner rolls, the pre-baked ones that comes in a pack of 12, I cut the very top off and then slice them in half and they worked really well, that also showed of the bread knife, I will make these alot in the summer and the tomatoes are home grown and FREE.

Great finger foods for summer intertaining.

Just a thought, these could go onto the grill if you have a sheet pan that can go onto the grill.

That's my two cent worth - don't know if that helps

Hot Pizza Dip is pretty inexpensive, and yummy! It's in the All The Best cookbook, although I'm pretty sure it's been posted around here, too. You can serve it with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or breadsticks. Actually, pita chips are good with it as well. And you can even make the dip in the microwave, if you're concerned about turning on the oven for a summer show.

the 30 Minute Chicken Show is inexpensive.

I do a chicken and garlic parmesan biscuit bites to go with it. Whole chickens can be really inexpensive if you get them on sale - at Costco they are 79 cents a lb., or at Meijers, they are 89 cents lb this week. So a 4 lb chicken is less than $4, and the biscuits are cheap - I can get them for $1 quite often. Then, buy a chunk of parmesan, and you only need a little bit of that for each recipe - a small chunk will go a long ways! Add the butter, and seasonings for the chicken and biscuits - that's about $6 per show!

Another inexpensive one is Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake

The Mini Lemon Cakes is also one that would be inexpensive

The Jerk Chicken Nachos are inexpensive too. (I do them with Chipotle rub though)

The Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad isn't pricey either - especially if you are buying in bulk. you can get 4 shows from 3 lbs of hamburger, 1 pkg of buns, 1 jar each of pickles, ketchup,mustard, one bag of onions, 2 large bags of shredded cheese...and just add fresh lettuce.

Oh! For a great, inexpensive drink:

This may sound crazy, but I have been making Spa Water at my shows. It uses a cutting board, the UM, a knife, and the QSP.

1 seedless (sometimes called English) cucumber
1 lemon or lime
Water

I cut off a chunk of cucumber, and slice it in the UM (enough for about 8-10 slices)
then, I slice off the ends of the lemon, and slice it in the UM

Place it all in the family size QSP, fill with very cold water (and ice if you have it), plunge, and serve!

I made the Deluxe Cheeseburger Salad with ground turkey for a free show this weekend and it wasn't too expensive.
