Guest Appearance
One of my favorite cooking blogs is The Pioneer Woman. Her recipes are always yummy looking and her posts are humorous and fun to read. Today, on her latest post, she refers to the Pampered Chef Chopper, which I am assuming is the Food Chopper, one of Pampered Chef's signature products. Here's a link to the blog for you to check it out for yourself: http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.giflf. The recipe looks great, and I think I'm going to have to make it for myself very soon!

Holiday Gift Giving
I love Christmas! Perhaps that's why my mind has been occupied lately of buying gifts, decorating the house and preparing food!
Pampered Chef has some great gift-giving ideas at a wonderful price. Let me share just a few:
Are you someone who likes to give homemade gifts? Why not try giving the gift of a Pampered Chef Prep Bowl set, ready to serve?
This is a great practical gift, which looks stunning in presentation. Remember, Prep Bowl sets come in 3 sizes: 1 Cup, 2 Cup and 3 Cup. Mix and match to come up with several gifts for everyone on your list!
Layered cookie recipes are a wonderful gift, providing practicality with beautiful presentation. Who wouldn't want to receive a present which requires only butter, eggs and vanilla to add to their Christmas baking?
A lovely presentation using the Small Batter Bowl, a must have for every kitchen!Pampered Chef's new line of Leak Proof Containers are perfect for holiday gift giving. Filled with someone's favorite treats, or homemade cookies, it's a gift anyone would love to get!
Leakproof Glass Containers come in a variety of sizes, making it easy to find one for every person on your list!

There is something in the catalog to suit every kitchen-lover and you're sure to find a great present that will fit your budget perfectly!
Are you interested in something for yourself, too? Consider having a Pampered Chef Cooking Show in your home!

New Fall Products
Yesterday I got a most wonderful package in the mail! It was my order from Pampered Chef! As a consultant, I occasionally get perks which involve new product at discounted prices. Something that makes me smile!
I opened the box to find some great pieces that I look forward to sharing with my customers. I love showing them some great tools that they can add to their kitchen! Some of the goodies in my box were:
~ a Deep Dish Covered Baker in the new taupe color. I am excited to make the Rocky Road Brownie Dessert that can be made in one pot right in the microwave! How handy is that?
~ a new Small Ridged Baker, also great for the microwave. I just happen to be making meatballs for supper in the next few nights and I will definitely be giving this new piece a try.
~ the new 3 cup Prep Bowls. I have the 1 Cup Prep Bowl Set (set of 6) and the 2 Cup Prep Bowl Set already. I love how they all nest together, fitting inside one another for easy storage.
~ a Small Square Baker, again in the new fall taupe color. I'm really liking the new color. Of course, this is available in the classic cranberry color as well. You get the qualities of cooking with Pampered Chef Stoneware with the beautiful glazed finish that makes serving your yummy dishes pleasing both to the eye and the pallet!
~ two mouth watering sauces: Chocolate Caramel Sauce (chocolate and caramel in one sauce? Can it get any better than that?!) and Apricot Honey Sauce (which makes me tempted to fire up the BBQ and grill up some chicken with this sauce!).
~ the new Leakproof Glass Container in the 8 1/4 cup size and the 1 1/2 cup size. I saw something like this while I was out shopping the other day. I picked it up and remember thinking how light it was. The tabs snapped off easily and the lid just popped off. I see, now that I have my new Pampered Chef Leakproof Glass Container, that the ones in the store are not near the quality of my new pieces. The Pampered Chef Leakproof Glass Containers are made with thick, sturdy glass, feeling heavy and well made in my hands. The lid has a rubber seal around the inside, making it sure to be 100% leakproof. The tabs take some doing to snap them into place, ensuring the lid was in the right place to prevent leaking, guaranteeing a well made product. I am very pleased with this new addition to my kitchen.
~ I also got the brand new, Pampered Chef Dripless Oil and Vinegar Bottle Set. These eye-pleasing bottles will allow me to make one of my husband's favorite appetizers: Pan Bread with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar, and make it in style!

No More Garlic Hands
I love hosting Pampered Chef parties! I love to consult at other host's Pampered Chef parties! I love Pampered Chef! *sigh*
One of the great things about getting together with a group of people who are passionate about cooking and thrilled about using high quality, affordable kitchen products, is the love of sharing. Whether it's swapping recipes or sharing kitchen and cooking tips, it's so much fun to come away from a Pampered Chef party armed with more knowledge and excited to get back into your own kitchen to put to the test the things you've learned.
At a recent Pampered Chef party, one of the guests gave me a very useful tip that I would like to pass on to you.
We all love garlic. My motto is you can never have too much garlic. Every recipe should have garlic in it. It just tastes better. But lets face it. It's a strong smelling wonderful bit of wonderful. Even though Pampered Chef has made some great products like the Garlic Press and the Garlic Peeler and Slicer Set, to keep our hand from touching the garlic and thereby coming away smelling like, well, garlic, it's inevitable that if you touch a raw piece of garlic, the scent of it will linger on your hands. But, did you know that you can wash your hands lightly with water, and then rub them along the inside of your stainless steel sink, rinse them again, and you will have eliminated the smell of garlic in your hands? Try it! It works!

12 Cup Muffin Pan
Do you like Yorkshire Pudding? It's one of our family's favorite treats. Nothing beats a roast in the slow-cooker, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich beef gravy, with a side of Sky-high Yorkshire puddings.
If you're like me, success is not always to be had when making this tricky side dish. One time you've got beautiful, fluffy Yorkshires, the next time they are flat and heavy. In the past, I have always made Yorkshire Pudding in metal muffin tins. I've tried warming the ingredients to room temperature, leaving the batter sit, heating the pans longer...you name it, I've tried it, but I still wasn't getting consistent results. Just what is the secret to a perfect, light and fluffy Yorkshire Pudding? The Pampered Chef 12-Cup Muffin Pan!
A guest at one of my Pampered Chef shows suggested I try using the 12-Cup Muffin Pan to get perfect results every time. And you know what? She was right!
I made Yorkshire Pudding and poured half of the batter into my standby metal muffin tins, which, by the way, are a real pain to clean afterwards, and I poured the other half of the mixture into my stone 12 Cup Muffin Pan. As you can see by the picture, the Yorkshire Pudding on the right which are in the Pampered Chef 12-Cup Muffin Pan are light, puffy and browning beautifully. The ones on the left, in my old metal muffin tins, are getting there, but they certainly don't have the pizzazz as the ones on the right. When I was done cooking (and eating) these scrumptious bits of goodness, the cleanup on the stoneware was a breeze! Just a little bit of hot water, the convenience of the small scraper that comes with each piece of Pampered Chef stoneware, and I was good to go. No more elbow grease or scrubbing pads will be needed whenever I make Yorkshire Puddings again!
