My Spring Open House Favorite(s)!

Well, I just hosted my 2nd Annual Spring Open House to taste and share ALL the new Spring 2009 products with my friends and customers. The weather couldn't have been more perfect and everything turned out great. If you couldn't make it sorry you missed it, will have another one in the Fall!

Here's what we sampled: Season and Steam BBQ; Steason and Steam Sloppy Joes; Tropical Chicken Salad; Baked Beans; cool Cucumber Dip; Smoking BBQ Dip and Lemon Sandwich Cookies. Everything was fantastic!!

I also shared my favorite dip: Jalepeno Bacon and Cheddar (never a drop left of it!!)

Made an extra dessert - I used the Key Lime Cheesecake mix to make key lime icing for plain vanilla mini cupcakes - what a huge hit with everyone. I can't believe what a yummy refreshing icing it made.

Lasty, I tried and shared a 4 Meals in 4 Minutes Recipe for: Asian Pork Tenderloin
It was OUTSTANDING Too! So tasty and you can't even tell that it has Garlic Lemon seasoning with it. Found on Keys to the Kitchen - Homemade Gourmet recipe database. Check it out!

Here's the recipe (can be made ahead and frozen as a 4M/4M meal)
