Recipes for a Pampered Chef Party

The last pampered chef party I went to we had mini quiche made with the little phyllo dough shells. That was delicious.

F.; how about deviled eggs, a vegatable tray , little cute sandwhiches, thats about all i got, any way have fun on your pampered chef party , soo fun, D. s

One thing I loved at a party I went to so much I have made it many times:

Loaf of French bread-cut at an angle and then spread a little melted butter on each piece and toast under the broiler for a few minutes.

Take 1 pack of zesty Italian dressing mix and mix it with cream cheese.

Cut up some tomatoes and cucumbers, or any other veggies you like.

I also got some ham and turkey sliced thin from the deli.
Spread the cream cheese mix on the bread then top with meat and veggies.

It was a huge hit.

F.,
I am a Pampered Chef consultant and would suggest the One Pot Pasta dish. It will highlight a quick and simple recipe that showcases many of The Pampered Chef products and yet won't take away from the "Cookie" part of your party. Or the wrap sandwiches suggested earlier would also be a fabulous addition. But, most importantly, talk with the consultant doing your show. She might have table cards avaialable that will give step by step directions highlighting the tools used on any recipe you make before the show! Good Luck and have fun at your show!

I made a vegetable pizza apetizer this past weekend. The recipe was given to me by a friend and is also a pampered chef recipe. It is really easy to make and everyone loved it.

The recipe says to use cresent rolls as the crust, but I was told to use the refridgerated pizza crust. (My friends all liked it better) Roll out the crust and bake it until golden brown. Instead of pizza sauce you use 8oz. of cream cheese mixed with a little dill, a glove of garlic and 1 1/2 tsp. mayo. Mix it and spead it accross the top. Then, top with your favorite veggies. I used carrots, broccoli, red peppers and black olives.

Like I said, super easy and everyone loved it!

I am a Pampered Chef consultant and I think you might like this one Ask your consultant for the Greek Rub. I don't like Spinach but I like this and so does my two children. When I make it I buy two baguette just so that I know I have enough bread. A lot of people will only put a little ofthe dip on the bread and and left over dip and no more bread. Good Luck

Greek Cheese Torta
Recipe

1 loaf (16 oz) French baguette
Garlic Oil or olive oil
1 pkg (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and pressed dry
2 pkg (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp Greek Rub
2 pkg (4 oz each) crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and patted dry
3 tbsp shelled pistachios

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut baguette into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on Large Round Stone with Handles. Spray with oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bread is golden brown. Remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool completely.

2. Line small Colander with paper towels. Place spinach into Colander; wrap paper towels around spinach and press until almost dry. Place cream cheese into Classic Batter Bowl; microwave on HIGH 30 seconds or until softened. Stir in spinach and rub; mix well. Add feta cheese; stir until well blended.

3. Finely dice sun-dried tomatoes using Color Coated Paring Knife. Line Small Batter Bowl with plastic wrap. Spoon one-third of the cheese mixture into bottom of batter bowl, spreading evenly. Top with tomatoes, forming an even layer. Spread remaining cheese mixture over tomatoes.

4. To serve, invert torta onto serving platter. Remove plastic wrap. Coarsely chop pistachios using Food Chopper; press onto top of torta. Serve with toasted baguette slices.

Cook's Tip: If desired, 1 jar (7 oz) roasted red peppers, drained and patted dry, can be substituted for the sun-dried tomatoes. Toasted almonds can be substituted for the pistachios. Proceed as recipe directs.

If desired, 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp dried oregano leaves and 1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper can be substituted for the Greek Rub.

Depending on what time the party is, I would suggest sandwiches and veggies. Another thing I always like to make are wraps - cream cheese and drained salsa mixed together and spread on rolled up tortillas or finely chopped pickles, black olives and green olives mixed with cream cheese and spread on tortillas. Have fun!

How about veggies and dip? Alot of dip receipes just take sour cream and mix package. (My family favorite is hidden valley ranch.) Or a fiesta is a taco dip. Just keep it simple but fun.

You could do sloppy-joes in a crock-pot with some raw veggies and chips.

Pizza or a taco bar.

Your Pampered Chef representative will ilkely provide you with recipes from Pampered Chef that she can demonstrate utilizing the products your guests can purchase through their catalog. Ask her for recipes and choose from them. You may want to do one(perhaps something that takes longer or is baked)ahead. But for the most part, you can serve what she has made while demonstrating.

Hi F.! If you want to use Pampered Chef recipes you can go to their website. They have so many wonderful recipes! Have fun at your party!!!!

Just keep it simple. I would put some bread and spinich dip, crackers and cheeseball, or mini pinwheel sandwaiches with ham and cream cheese wrapped in tortilla and sliced. Or just chips and dip. Whateve it is, just make it something more salty since you are making sweets:)
