Pampered Chef Vegan Cooking Show

Here's Marliece setting up the party in my home. I met her through a vegan meet-up group (click here to find/start a group), we got to talking, and I became interested in hosting one of her cooking shows.



We decided on a veganized version of the 'Chipotle Ck*n Cornbread Cups'




1 c. grated vegan cheddar cheese

1 c. cornmeal
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/4 c. Tofutti sour cream
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp Chipotle Rub (PC item)
1 small red bell pepper, finely diced
1-2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 1/2 c. finely diced cooked ck*n (Morning Star Meal Starters Chik'n Strips)


1. Preheat *350. Combine cheez, cornmeal, sugar, 1 c. sour cream, flour and 1 tbsp. of the rub to form a thick batter.

2. Spray mini-muffin pan with nonstick spray. Divide batter evenly among the cups, and bake 15 minutes until golden brown.


3. Saute bell pepper. Add ck*n and remaining rub and heat through. Combine ck*n mixture, green onions, 1/4 c. sour cream in a small bowl.



4. Remove muffins from oven and quickly press tops to form cups. Cool. Divide ck*n mixture evenly among cups. Top with additional sour cream and sprinkle with cilantro if desired.



The party was fun, the food yummy, conversation casual,
and check out this kitchen booty I received. . .



Mini Muffin Pan
Mini Tart Shaper
Season's Best Recipe Book
Prep Bowl Set
Food Chopper
Mini Loaf Stoneware Pan
Sweet Cinnamon & Chipotle Rub

all this for $28, which is less than the price of the chopper alone! Not bad, eh? :)

wow, what fun!
the recipe looks great, and the kitchen goodies are awesome. Your kitchen really is awesome for something like that - beautiful and spacious.
Hope you are doing well!

Whenever my mum had those home parties, I was always infinitely more intrigued by the pampered chef people than the make-up or candle people. What is it about kitchen appliances? You made out like a bandit.

I haven't been to a Pampered Chef party in ages & ages. I just love their stuff. It's so cool that you were able to host a vegan one.
