Potluck Dinner...

I am going to 2 different potlucks in the next few weeks. The first is a dinner potluck, and second is an appetizer potluck.

What would you make to take to the parties? Can you give me some ideas or recipes that you would make if you were going? I have a few standby recipes, that I am tired of, and someone else always brings (like spinach dip lol) because its easy. I really need new exciting ideas.

TIA,

Lesley

When I was in college, my business professor use to throw potlucks for us, ( she decided to that for us cause we were all women in her classes) I always made the same thing, very easy doesn't take much, end as far as I know everyone like it...simple Pasta salad

1 12oz pasta pkg, any you would like
lettuce
tomatoe
mustard
mayonnaise
salt & pepper to your liking
and you can either add Tuna or shredded chicken

just mix everything together, I never measure any of the stuff, I just mixed even amounts to the best of my knowledge, and not to much mustard and mayo.

That's it. Just an idea for you.

I always try to bring dessert too...or wine : ) You could throw a fruit salad together pretty easily. Just chop up whatever's available and mix it together. I usually do cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries and blueberries. It's a nice color assortment.
Have fun!
