Hello dear friends.....I can't believe that September has already come to an end! I want to share with you one activity where I had SO much fun! I received an apron from the delightful Cooking School Hostess Kristi and later purchased a copy of Taste of Homes wonderful new cookbook....BEST LOVED RECIPES.
It's a GREAT cookbook and I LOVE my new apron!!
But back to the EVENT
You too can have the same opportunity to attend as they go to cities throughout the country. Its the...
TASTE OF HOME COOKING SCHOOL
Everyone received a nice Goodie Bag full of samples, recipes, coupons, a copy of one of their magazines and the
COOKING SCHOOL COOKBOOK and PROGRAM
There were Sponsor booths giving out products and food samples and TONS of Giveaways. You received a ticket when you went into the auditorium and they gave out MANY door prizes. They gave away at least two dozen bags of groceries and I was fortunate to win one of them and a T Shirt. And they gave away all the food from the recipes they made with the wonderful containers they baked them in. The atmosphere was ELECTRIC. And the Cooking Hostess, Kristi, was dynamic and so much fun. Two huge screens flanked the preparation area so we could see every detail of a recipe as she made it.
To my delight and surprize my friend Debbie Reids recipe was made and featured.
(You can see my scribbled notes as the recipes were made.)
It's called Steak and Blue Cheese Bruschetta with Onion and Roasted Tomato Jam.
Doesn't this look just delicious!!! What a way to WOW your family and guests!!
