It was Great To Meet You In St. Louis!

Thanks for stopping by our booth. We were thrilled to introduce easy slow cooker baking

using our Electrified Cooks Slow Cooker Cake Mixes!

If you missed it, KSDK TV was live at the show and talked with Roxanne!

Which mix will you bake first? Maybe a luscious cheesecake or rich and moist carrot cake.

There are five flavors so one is just right for you.

There are pictures of the cakes and tips below and more information here.

If you missed seeing us in St. Louis or want to purchase more mixes, our on-line store

is always open and it is easy to place an order.

Happy Baking!

Luscious, creamy cheesecakes. Nothing seems to be quite as decadent and wonderful as a cheesecake.

Begin with one of our Slow Cooker Cake Mixes and then let the slow cooker work its magic. Slow, even heat for the best, rich, moist cheesecake. What is your favorite? Classic Vanilla Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache or Key Lime Cheesecake? [Read more…]

Garlic Shrimp Risotto

Posted by Kathy on January 12, 2016

Warm and comforting.

Winter finally hit with gusto last weekend. To me, that means it is time to take to the kitchen and make warm and comforting foods.

We each have a different definition of comfort food—a dish that reminds you of Mom or Grandma. Or a rich and creamy flavor that just seems to calm your nerves and warm your soul.

To me, this last weekend, rich and creamy hit the mark! I was craving risotto. [Read more…]

Mexican cheese dip, queso, Rotel® dip or queso fresco dip….call it what you want, this time of year as we gather around the television to cheer on our favorite football team, you will want to have a great recipe for Mexican cheese dip in your back pocket.

After the holidays our family tries to cut back on all the extravagant food choices but by the time the Super Bowl rolls around we have another standing tradition. Wings and Mexican cheese dip are always served for the “special” game. Since our favorite Kansas City Chiefs are in the playoffs, we may have to break tradition and celebrate with tailgate treats earlier this year.

I do believe I have tested literally hundreds of variations of this dip in my career. [Read more…]

What’s Cookin’ at the Holiday Boutique?

Posted by Kathy on November 17, 2015

Holiday Boutique

Booth #104

Overland Park Convention Center

Do you want to add some fun to your holiday season? How about perfect gift suggestions and really easy, but delicious desserts?

The answer is at the Holiday Boutique and we invite you to come talk to us this weekend! Come join the fun! Shopping for the perfect gift will be easy. Stop by our booth, learn about slow cooker baking, and enjoy a bite of great tasting slow cooker cakes.

This is a great time to find out how to bake in your slow cooker. We would love to show you our new book, Slow Cooker Desserts, Oh So Easy, Oh So Delicious! (Would an autographed book be the perfect gift, or what!!!)

We will be selling our Slow Cooker Cake Mixes. All five flavors—Ultimate Carrot Cake, Classic Vanilla Cheesecake with Chocolate Ganache, Key Lime Cheesecake, Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake and Banoffee (Banana flavored with chocolate and toffee.) We will be serving tastes –and believe us, tasting is believing.

What about gifts? We got that covered. We all know we have received too many candles or ornaments at the office or Bunko gift exchange or struggled to find the perfect hostess gift. Be the hit of the party and give a Slow Cooker Cake Mix. Everyone owns a Crock-Pot, but baking in that slow cooker is new and intriguing. What a fun gift a slow cooker cake mix would be.

Cakes baked in a slow cooker are moist. They are perfect to bake now—and freeze for easy serving on busy days ahead. Many of our friends and neighbors have received a slow cooker cake—and tied in a basket, box or cellophane wrap– they loved it and it makes a scrumptious, beautiful, perfectly-sized treat.

We love to serve them at all of our holiday meals, the office lunch, the holiday party or any gathering that might end with a sweet treat. Easy, yummy, make-ahead convenience. What else could you ask for?

Do you know how to bake in a slow cooker? It is easy —just make the batter and put it in a 7-inch springform pan or 8½ x 4½ – inch loaf pan. Put the filled pan on a ring of aluminum foil in your slow cooker. Cover and bake—and in 2 or 3 hours you will have a rich, tasty, cake.

We are busy setting up the booth—and will be ready and would love to meet you when the show opens Thursday morning. This is a picture of the booth we had at War Eagle and the booth at the Holiday Boutique will be similar. Come see us—booth #104 at the Overland Park Convention Center. November 19-22, 2015. (They left us out of the listing that was in the paper–and in the exhibitor listing at the show–but have no fear! We are there, in Booth #104, and are eager to see you!)

We hope to see you there. If you can’t come, don’t despair. Here are some links that you can use:
