Most recently I've been making this vegetarian (so bacon on the side not mixed in) and I make it GF, so I use GF flour and use less than usually called for. If you google, the damn delicious recipe is good, but I've modified. You can't really go wrong! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2653241 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:46:53 +0000 mamainthesun 2653241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go for an easy dip, like hummous. Just bring along some bread sticks or something similar. Super easy and can be made in advance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2653228 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:37:38 +0000 lamariniere 2653228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hellobeeboston: do you have a link to the soup? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2653199 Wed, 16 Nov 2016 15:01:40 +0000 MenagerieMama 2653199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumpkin bread?

So easy to make, had all the toppings: cheese, bacon, chives, sour cream, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652713 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 15:09:35 +0000 MamaG 2652713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Oh I know, but the bacon wrapped smokies sound so good. We eat the turkey smokies in our house even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652712 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 15:08:42 +0000 MaryM 2652712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaG: Meatballs can be done the same way (and could be all beef). Throw in frozen meatballs with barbeque sauce and a jar of jelly and you're done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652705 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 15:02:23 +0000 MamaG 2652705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to do the same thing this week. I really like the little smokies idea (who doesn't love bacon?!?!?), but we have someone that doesn't partake in pork. Maybe I shouldn't be trying so hard to be inclusive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652656 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 13:39:19 +0000 ShootingStar 2652656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Umbreon: We actually have free drinks provided by the company :).</p> <p>I think I'm going to make little smokies. Just put the mini hot dogs in a crock pot with 2 other ingredients and done. Any available time and energy is going to be needed to make the birthday cake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652655 Tue, 15 Nov 2016 13:37:52 +0000 ocean81 2652655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cranberry Bread?

What about just making some punch or bringing pop?

Or how about a relish tray not cranberry relish but a tray of pickles and olives. A relish tray always reminds me of the holidays at my grandparents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652083 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 11:24:19 +0000 bubblegum 2652083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure if this is too much work but how about a little ham and pineapple app. Stick it on a toothpick and call it a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652073 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 11:06:55 +0000 looch 2652073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: haha, I love that jelly crap! </p> <p>I would bring dessert, or maybe crockpot mashed potatoes? I've personally never made them, but if you did them as a kind of twice baked version? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652052 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 10:49:55 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2652052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cornbread muffins? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652051 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 10:47:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 2652051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really "thanksgiving" but always a hit at our office is bacon wrapped little smokies (wienies) with brown sugar. you can bake them before and hten keep in a crockpot to keep warm. </p> <p>If you want to skip the crockpot, you can make a very simple pumpkin dip with gingersnaps and graham crackers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652050 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 10:47:01 +0000 ShootingStar 2652050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Oh yeah, that is really easy to make! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-bring-to-a-potluck#post-2652048 Mon, 14 Nov 2016 10:46:00 +0000 Mamaof2 2652048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>cranberry relish?

I need something low effort because I also have to make DS's birthday cake the same night. </p> <p>I thought about crock pot mac n cheese, but someone's already bringing mac n cheese. Personally, I feel like there's never too much mac n cheese, but I'm not sure everyone else feels the same way, lol. Oh, and I'm not opposed to get something prepared, I already am going to Wegman's the day before to get cupcakes for daycare. </p>
