I love Pampered Chef

I had a Pampered Chef party on Facebook with my consultant Michele Maples. It was fabulous. All I had to do was send an invite to all my friends and then sit in front of my computer a the appointed time while Michele displayed the products, shared ideas and answered questions. I was surprised at the people who attended that never ever would have been able to come if I had held a home party. I even got orders from out of state family and friends.

I had a $455 party so I got some awesome freebies. They came this past Friday and I can't wait to start using them. 

I have always wanted the stoneware mini baker in cranberry. And now it is finally mine. It is a perfect size for me and hubby. It will be great for baking spaghetti, lasagna, a home made pot pie, a couple of chicken breasts and lots more. But I wanted it to make hubby a smaller deep dish apple pie. I can't wait to try it out.

And since I have never owned a pastry blender, I got one of them for free as well. Thought it might come in handy when I make the pie crust which will be my first ever pie crust from scratch.

Since I am in this whole new mode of baking mini muffins, I thought I would do some brownie muffins and sprinkle them with confectioners sugar. But when I try it always just globs because I try to use a spoon to sprinkle it. So one of my other freebies was this sugar shaker to be able to decorate cookies, muffins and cakes or even french toast with this shaker. 

Speaking of muffins, when I make the ones I roll in cinnamon sugar, I don't use the mini muffin pan liners so those little pans are hard to clean. Pampered Chef was offering their pink products in May in support of Breast Cancer so I also picked out this little brush to help me clean the pans. It is just the right size and the rubber tipped is perfect for loosening in hard to clean spots.  

I picked up three of these Season's Best recipe books. I got one for me, and one for my daughter and daughter-in-law. It has some pretty interesting recipes.

I had earned $55.00 in free products. My total purchase was $55.50. So I got everything you see above for just .50 cents. I would say that was worth setting in front of my computer for 60 minutes wouldn't you?
