We’ve barely had a chance to enjoy the beautiful Autumn foliage that envelops the Midwest at this time of year. And prior to Fall’s official calendar date, seeing retailers with early Christmas displays would literally make me gasp or have a sigh of disbelief. I did well to avoid being lured over for a glance at the newest Christmas piece that would go so well in my home and I certainly was not in the Christmas spirit by any means until…
One day, an invitation for Chicagonista to tour Pampered Chef head quarters in Addison, Illinois. This was for the Holiday Cooking and Party demonstration with their in house Chefs. Pampered Chefs were going to be on hand sharing how to keep the holidays free from stress with simple recipes ranging from whipping up a left-over turkey dinner, preparing delicious and healthy appetizers to using the right utensils and making your Christmas baking experience fun and effortless. Fun and effortless?? For me…baking is laborious and never effortless! This was also the first time ever that Pampered Chef test kitchens were opened to the public!
I didn’t want to think about the holidays quite yet…but a tour of Pampered Chef head quarters and getting a sneak peak of what those Chefs have been whipping up in the test kitchens all these years…was actually very interesting and a great use of my time. I’m all about having a stress free holiday and I new recipes for some of my gatherings are always welcome especially coupled a great group of women from Chicagonista.
Being a huge fan of Pampered Chef for many years, going to many parties, and owning several of their products, the invitation to be at this event was an honor. Yes…we’re still in October…and yes it’s too early for Christmas …but when you have a product or a company’s been a part of home and that you already love…getting tempted with a little early Christmas makes you inquisitive about what they’re “cookin’ up for the holidays!”
What a great way to enjoy a stress free holiday with some of these fabulous and delicious recipes that I’ve gotten to personally taste! All recipes will be in a separate post “Pampered Chef Recipes for the Holidays” coming soon.
