I Just Don't Know What to Make...

[jasonmva]

for my November show. The host asked for an entree. The only one I have even done is the Antipasto Vegetable Pizza. However, she doesn't want that. The show is in 2 weeks and I am still racking my brain trying to figure out what to make. I want something easy since the show is at 6pm.

I am wondering if I should have something made up ahead of time and then just cook at the host's house.

How about the turkey & cranberry wreath? You might want to look for the turkey or pumpkin booklets in the file sections as both have a bunch of ideas.

often times I will make a foccacia ahead of time for my party and my family, then make something there like the ranch vegetable pizza (I add chicken) to make it more substantial. Entree's are always tough.

Entree ideasA recipe I ALWAYS use is Tomato Basil Squares. It is Easy and always a big hit. This recipe has gone from host to host for several years. Each host says "please make what you did at ...... house. Or the Turkey Cranberry Wreath is Great for this time of year (substitute 1 full chicken breast for the turkey) and tell guests this is how to use there turkey leftovers after Thanksgiving. For a QUIK dessert the Molten Lava Cake (yummy is to die for. I just did this and the TCW at my show last week and had a$900 show 8 yes 8 bookings and 2 potential recruits. One is having her starter show this week and Hopefully signing next week(fingers crossed). So give these a whirl and good luck. Laurel

I made a bread twist today (with chopped spinach & artichoke filling) - follow the chicken bistro photos (All the best).

The calzones are easy too

I've been making the Harvest Chicken Salad for many of my shows and it has been a great hit (even the hosts who haven't been too sure about my suggestion, have become true believers)! It's a no-bake, so for those 6:00 pm shows, you're home nice and early! I've also been making Beer Bread in the Silicone Floral Pan to go with it. Yummy!

Mary:
I loved your idea about making beer bread in the silicone floral pan! Does it bake for 50 minutes? Such a nifty idea! I'm searching for the monkey bread recipe...I'll uncover it I'm sure but I did like your idea about the beer bread. Thanks!

Glad you liked the idea...one of my guests said she was purchasing the Floral Pan to make Corn Muffins, so I thought, why not Beer Bread? It's just as easy as making a whole loaf and so much prettier on the table! I do cook them for a little less and start checking them around 30 minutes to see how they're doing.

Great new use for the floral pan!

jasonmva, you might try the Chicken & Broccoli Ring. It's in Stoneware Inspirations (pg 33). It's easy, and it looks very festive.
