Which Pampered Chef Appetizer Would to Win a Contest?

[mconsola]

Our swim club is holding an appetizer contest next week and I think it would be a great way to get my name out there as a PC consultant. The entries will be anonymous but I'll definately using the dots bowl to serve them. What recipes can stand up to summer evening heat and humidity and knock their socks off? Originality definately charms this crowd too!

I love love love the mini pesto pizzas.

 

[pamperedmomto3]

I second the mini pesto pizzas!

 

[pampchefrhondab]

I say the Crab Ragoon Dip - it always is a BIG hit! Everyone always wants the recipe!

 

[pampered.chris]

I haven't tried the Greek Torte or the Pesto Pizzas, but my customers go ga-ga over the rings and the ham puff things in the All the Best cookbook.

Without a doubt - GREEK CHEESE TORTA

 

[mconsola]

Oooo! I forgot how much I love the Greek Cheese Torta! And the secret is the PC spice so anyone looking fto make it themselves would have to get the greek rub. I may have to try out the Mini Pesto Pizzas too. Maybe my husband can enter those in his name.

Oh man, this is making me HUNGRY! I LOVE the Touchdown Taco Dip, but you'd probably want to do something a little different than the norm. I love those Pesto Pizzas too. The cool thing about this is they look a little "fancier" without much work at all, but I don't know if they'd hold up and taste as good if you don't serve them right out the oven.

What a fun contest!

I love the Touch down taco dip. So yummy

 

[pamperedbecky]

I tell a funny story about that recipe at my shows sometimes. The VERY first PC show I went to was 12 years ago. Who knows why the heck I went - I did NOT cook. I barely could boil water. I was new at my job and a coworker had a show and I hadn't ever heard of PC. I just went to get to know some coworkers. Well, that consultant made the Touchdown Taco Dip! She handed out the recipie and I made that darn dip at EVERY party my DH and I ever had. Fast forward 7 years and I become a consultant and now make it at LOTS of my shows!

I do love that dip. I always double it at a show no matter how many people because it always gets eaten up FAST.

I have a friend who always makes it although she makes the older recipe. The one with the white onions instead of the green. Well I had a friend try it and she said it was good, then she came to my house and had the one I made and she said she didnt remeber it being so good. I definitly like it with the green onions instead of the white.

 

[etteluap70PC]

I love the taco dip too and still offer it in the colder months because it is always a hit!!!

 

[Teresa Lynn]

the baked potstickers are impressive & delicious

 

[zmom58]

Touchdown Taco Dip is super. I make it all of my Open House shows, a double batch of course! But it won't work for your event as it is served in the 9x13 baker. Good luck with whatever you choose and let us know!

I love the artichoke cups.

 

[jenboswood]

One of my favorites is the cheesy bacon dip. Everyone is always standing over the dish scraping the dish clean!

The mini pesto pizzas are okay. Has the same taste to me as the Fantastic Foccacio Bread which is a HUGE hit also.

I am trying for the first time the greek cheese tora. We will see!

 

[Chef Kearns]

I don't think the pesto pizzas will hold up. They are great right out of the oven, but after 20-30 minutes they are just so-so. I second the potstickers. They are good even cold. The Curry Chicken Lettuce Wraps are very impressive and in a Chillzanne would hold up for hours. Yummy!

Summer/Spring? Apple Berry Salsa with cinnamon chips (All The Best cookbook). Fall? Either above chips with cran-orange Apple Salsa (1/2 bag cranberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 medium orange, orange zest, one medium apple - all chopped in food chopper. Chop orange very fine.)Winter? HOT PIZZA DIP - (cube of cream cheese w/ 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1 tspn Italian seasoning, mix, 4 tablespoons grated parmesan - then spread the top with any pizza sauce and your favorite toppings. top with mozzarella and a little more parmesan , then bake until top cheese is bubly, about 20-30 mins at 300. Serve with hearty crackers like triscuits or french bread slices you drizzle with olive oil & put in slow oven on a stone)But of course, I have not tried the Greek Cheese Torta. Must be deprived.?!
