Cut store bought puff pastry into small rectangles, put a small piece of brie in the middle, fold over and seal edges with a fork. Brush with an egg wash and bake at 350 our so until golden brown. You can also mix it up and put some BlackBerry jam on top of the cheese. Delicious and looks fancy without much work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-need-to-make-something-for-a-potluck-tonight#post-1274129 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:18:53 +0000 MrsKoala 1274129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A bottle of wine or a nice loaf of French bread with some fancy butter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-need-to-make-something-for-a-potluck-tonight#post-1274127 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:18:17 +0000 blackbird 1274127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For something super quick, spread cream cheese on a plate, then chili sauce on top, then baby shrimp or crab meat from the deli.

It's for my book club. There's only about 6-8 of us and we usually don't do food, but since it's our December meeting we thought'd we'd meet a bit earlier and do a pot luck. Any suggestions for a girl that can't cook?? </p>
