Cooking with Kelly - Pampered Chef

Have you seen the new fall/winter products? If you are interested in learning more about any of these, let me know!

Okay folks - the new fall/winter products drop tomorrow and I am so excited! There are some awesome products here. I don't have all of them (yet 😁), but the ones I have are just blowing my mind! Looking for something for yourself or someone else? Need more information about any of these? Interested in getting something at a huge discount by hosting? Reach out - I'm here for you!

September is a great month to host. With all the new products dropping on September 1 - you'll want to take advantage of the rewards. I have a great giveaway to anyone who books a party with me for September.

That's what I'm talking about! When I make tomato sauce, I use my Italian grandmother's recipe. What does that mean? I have enough sauce to feed a village when I'm done! So I've learned to plan out a few meals so I can use it all. We have two spaghetti nights, one lasagna night, a sausage & peppers night, and that uses almost all of it up. Never thought about a dipping sauce for grilled cheese or breadsticks - great idea!

I actually just saw this and thought is was fascinating! I eat a ton of garlic so this really hits home for me. I also read once that being sarcastic regularly can add years to your life. Between the sarcasm and the garlic - I may be immortal!

Snacks are a big thing for moms. I have two kids (teenagers, so pretty self sufficient at this point) and I like to have snacks available for them so they have healthier things to eat. Of these four products, I've had the crinkle cutter the longest - but it was more recent when I really learned to appreciate it! What are your favorite snacks?

Now you're talking! If you know me at all, you know I would eat my own arm if it was wrapped in bacon!

If you had to choose your favorite small appliance, which would it be? I'll start - I think the air fryer is my favorite. I actually use all six of these products regularly so this is a difficult choice for me.

Okay guys - Fantasy Football draft is this weekend. I want to find something I can do in the crock pot to save myself from over-doing it. I was thinking of doing a taco bar. I can have everything done ahead of time and just throw the meat into the crock pot for a bit. Thoughts or better ideas?

I love the random national "food" days! I have been making my own ice cream for a few years now and couldn't love it more! Do you make your own ice cream?

My birthday was yesterday and I wanted to spoil myself with my favorite dinner. Sous vide filet mignon, Parmesan risotto, and roasted mushrooms! Yummy!

Guys, this has become a weekly (or daily) item in my house - we love it! If you know me at all, you know I edit recipes slightly. Sometimes it's the ingredients and sometimes it's just changing amounts. This time, it's the latter.

I use 1 1/2 cups of skim milk
I just put a couple scoops of homemade vanilla ice cream (no measuring 😁)
I do "around" a cup of strawberries - but I use sliced frozen strawberries
I reduce the mix to 2-ish tablespoons (probably comes out to 1 1/2 tbsp)
I haven't topped this with anything yet

But this is so delicious - my husband, daughter, and I love this. My son is not a fan of ice cream, so he doesn't like it. Are you also rolling your eyes? I know - no idea what planet he's from - he doesn't like chocolate either!

I was hanging out with some friends last night and brought something in one of the new products - big hit! Can't wait for all the new products to drop - you guys will love them!

So excited to make some cupcakes today 😋

Okay, it's that time of year again. Time to draft for fantasy football. If you don't know, my husband is a crazy football fan and he is in like 7 fantasy football leagues! He is commissioner in one of those leagues and we host that draft at our house. (The league I'm commissioner for drafts that same day, but all virtually - although maybe I'll invite some of them to my house.)

Anyway, we have food for the draft - usually more appetizers. What suggestions do you have that I should include on the menu this year?

Did you know you can double your fundraising donations this month? Do you have a charity you'd like to support? Reach out - I'd love to help you with this!

Where are my air fryer folks? I found some hot dogs in the freezer and thought I would use those for tonight’s dinner. I decided to use the skewers to do these in the air fryer. Folks - these are so great and quick and easy for a weeknight dinner. If you don’t have the skewers you are missing out. If you don’t get them soon, you will definitely miss out. These are one of the products to be discontinued by the end of this month!

Okay, the seasoning / rub mixes are all great - but these reusable storage bags are where it's at! These bags are really sturdy and seal up very well, but let me tell you my favorite use for them - flouring meat! Any time I need to go through the breading process, I always flour in these bags. I am not sure I understand why, but I can tell you I've never seen the most perfectly floured chicken or pork in my life! These are also great to use when using the multi cooker to sous vide a steak or chicken. (These are just the things I've done before!)

If I were to make something and show you what I did and how I did it, which of these tools would you want me to use?

While I'm not a big microwave user (it is not uncommon for my microwave to be storage space), I do love this popcorn maker! I use the egg cooker when I got to the office and it's awesome. I have the micro cooker, but I don't think I've used it yet. But the first two products alone make this a great bundle!

I have the brown sugar and cherry almond syrup, not the limoncello (yet). I've tried the brown sugar in my coffee and in whipped cream (not whipped cream to top anything, I just tried making it and sat there eating straight whipped cream!) and this one is fantastic! I want to try the cherry almond soon. I've heard it's good to drizzle over the almond pound cake - or I could dine on some cherry almond whipped cream!

I can't believe it's August already. My kids go back to school in two weeks! My daughter definitely likes to bring lunch to school, but it's not always easy to be creative and not do the same old thing every day. All of these products in this bundle are fantastic! I don't use the bento box as often as I'd like (still trying to work out opening it without breaking my nails💅) but the apple wedger and bag clips are always being used in my house!

Yup!

I'll have what he's having!

There are so many ways to party! Give the un-party a try!

You know new fall products come out in September. This month, there is a special offer at some of the new Brilliance bakeware. Two different sets available in August before the rest of the new products hit! Made in the same beautiful blue as the Brilliance cookware, this bakeware is non-stick and so easy to clean up! Don't miss this opportunity to grab these products early!

Here we are starting a new month which brings new host and guest offers. August is a great month to host - 60% off small appliances is HUGE! And check out the guest offer for orders over $90!
