Make the sauce first and just let them cook all day. Take the whole crock pot with you to keep them warm! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587577 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:51:42 +0000 GrapeCrush 587577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheesy potatoes in the crockpot. Just southern style home fries 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup, a can evaporated milk and French fried onions. Not the healthiest, but so yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587506 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:37:14 +0000 mrs. wagon 587506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do guacamole or egg and potato salad. Mostly because I love them and want to eat them. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587447 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:26:08 +0000 mediagirl 587447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: I just dump pasta sauce in the crockpot and put the (frozen) meatballs in the sauce. Once the sauce heats up, it warms the meatballs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587421 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:19:44 +0000 Smurfette 587421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually this Asian Slaw Salad. Super easy but it is a hit every time I bring it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587420 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:19:31 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: YUM. how does this work? So you make the meatballs first and then just basically transport them in crock-pot so they stay warm? Or is there someway to actually make them in there?</p> <p>@mrskc: That sounds like so much fun! Enjoy yourself:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587411 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:17:45 +0000 mediagirl 587411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Meatballs in pasta sauce. Heat it up in the crock pot, then take the crock with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587380 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:09:34 +0000 eeh 587380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I generally take baked Mac and cheese because it's kid friendly and familiar so it's less likely to get passed over. Or pasta salad or corn bread casserole. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587363 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:04:14 +0000 mrskc 587363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: @yoursilverlining: She didn't mention a theme or what anyone else was bringing. Just to bring a side dish. It's in the 60s here. Kinda cool for where I live. </p> <p>My doula is having a past client get together. So it's going to be all ladies, babies and maybe some older children. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587351 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 14:00:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 587351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually I bring this pasta dish that’s a creamy/tangy pasta salad with penne, smoked mozzarella and spinach. It’s a “copy cat” recipe of a salad they make at Whole Foods sometimes.</p> <p>Sometimes I bring cold pesto pasta salad, or some kind of dip and crackers/chips/pita/etc for dipping.</p> <p>Do you know what others are bringing, or is there any sort of food theme? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587349 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:59:46 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 587349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hmm...is there a theme? are there going to be kids there?<br /> is it warm out?<br /> If it is warm and if it is outdoors: I'd probably bring turkey rolls? I use tortillas and put turkey and lettuce and cheese inside then roll them up and stick a decorative pick in to secure them.<br /> [attach=2389/13/mimy3m.307x204.turkey.jpg]<br /> Or you could make fruit kabobs?</p> <p>[attach=2389/13/mimy3o.183x275.images.jpg]</p> <p>Or maybe just bring a nice container of gourmet hummus with some pita chips?</p> <p>If it is chilly and/or it is indoors: I'd probably just do like a shrimp pasta dish with alfredo sauce... with mushrooms and bow-tie noodles. </p> [attach=2389/13/mimy6z.275x183.images--1-.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587345 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:58:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 587345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crockpot BBQ meatballs would probably be the easiest - <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bbq-meatballs/" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/recipe/bbq-meatballs/</a></p> <p>- Fresh guacamole and chips<br /> - 7-Layer Dip<br /> - Stuffed mushrooms </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-side-dish-do-you-bring-to-potlucks#post-587335 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:51:16 +0000 mrskc 587335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to a potluck lunch tomorrow.
