Yes, I am available for that date…..If you go to my website: www.dinner-is-served.net All the things you need are there……the only other “bio” thing you might want to know is that I started this business after I had a heart attack 6 years ago (in the Bahamas, died on the table)…..that is a whole story in itself!
As for NAWBO, I am in my 4th year as President (don’t ask)…..you get our emails so there should be enough in there to use…..let me know if you need anything else!

WELCOME! to the Crock Pot Club! If you are new to the club, here is how it works! Each week you will receive a crock pot recipe that I have made for my clients…..some will be VERY easy, some a little more involved…the idea is to prep the ingredients, put the crock in the fridge..then one morning when you know you will have a busy day…pop the crock into the pot, turn it on and come home to a delicious dinner ready for you to enjoy…If you don’t already own a crockpot, I suggest buying the: Rival Oval Programmable Stainless Steel Crock Pot……it is available at Macys or you can buy it online at Amazon.com

My business is called: Dinner is Served!
Started: August 2005
What I do: I am a Personal Chef who prepares weekly meals for clients at their homes....small scale parties....sit-down dinners...cooking lessons...kitchen organization..I also work at
a friends restaurant on Saturday nights which satisfies by "restaurant fever" and helps me to learn new skills and food from one of the Culinary trained Chef's who has worked there over
20 years.
How the crockpot club was started: I am President of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) of NEPA....listened to women business owners complain
that they had no time to get a healthy, good tasting meal on the table.....when I first mentioned crockpot cooking, several said they tried it but the recipes were not great or too
complicated...since I use my crockpot alot and also use it for clients meals I decided to send them recipes I have tried.....the club started out with about 20 members, it now has over
200 and is growing everyday....the recipes are being featured in a local magazine which is generating even more "business".
What people think about crockpots: Most people think of them as "old fashioned cooking" meaning poor cuts of meat that are overcooked and flavorless....with the dawn of the internet
there are thousands of crockpot recipes that are "upscale" and healthy...the secret is to find the "good ones"...sometimes it is just knowing what ingredients work together and others
it is trying a recipe once and then adjusting it as needed......
A good hint: If you try meal at a restaurant and love it......look for a crockpot version online.....example: Chicken Marbella.....I prepared it for a meal at the restaurant I work at and loved it so
much that I found a crockpot version that is fantastic.
Tips: Purchase ingredients ahead of time....prep and place in removable crock, put in fridge....pop it into the cook base on the day you need it
Casseroles, roasts and yes, even lasagna can be made in your crockpot...meatloaf is great also!
Types to purchase: My favorite, the Rival Programmable Slow-Cooker....you can buy it everywhere....let's you program cooking time
Best place to get recipes: Online sites such as Epicurious.com....or ingredient sites like Campbells....Kraft...etc. Wegmans.com is my favorite
