Some of our neighbors with young families are getting together in the park for a pot luck. I don't know what to bring.
-
Potato Salad or cheesecake cups.
-
Pasta salad, dessert (brownies, ect.) or apple snicker salad. Always a hit with the kids!
-
@jessiejo17: What is apple snicker salad? It sounds intriguing.
-
When it's warm out usually pasta salad. I'm a pretty picky eater so I like to bring some that I know I like that I can make a meal out of in case I don't like anything else.
-
I was going to suggest caprese till I remember your husband does not eat dairy??
Pasta salad? Brownies? Fruit salad? -
@PBandBaseball: It's the easiest most delicious "salad" haha more of a dessert really. Cut up 4-5 apples (I usually do gala or pink lady), a package of mini snickers cut in 1/4ths, the big container of Cool Whip and a package of butterscotch pudding (just the powder mix, not made.) Mix it all together and refrigerate for an hour or two and serve!
-
I usually do potato salad or a dessert. For desserts I like to do a trifle for a big crowd-- always a crowdpleaser! I usually do a chocolate one or a strawberry shortcake type one.
-
@jessiejo17: That sounds amazing!!! I'm definitely going to have to try that the next time we go to a pot luck.
I usually make buffalo chicken dip when I need to bring something to a party. If it's an outdoor party I bring s'mores pops that I make.
-
I'm usually assigned dessert, haha, even if there's no sign up. Cupcakes are always a crowd pleaser, and bars or squares. When DH signs us up for one, he makes Asian coleslaw. Yum!
-
Pasta salad, lettuce wraps or some sort of dessert. I find dessert easiest, and people generally love pies, cobblers, crumbles, etc, and they're easy to throw together/bring.
-
I just saw a recipe for S'mores krispy treats (use golden grahams instead of rice krispies and add choc. chips) that looked delicious!
-
I usually bring cupcakes. Children refer to me as "the cupcake lady", so I'm popular.
-
i usually bring dessert too cuz i love to bake. i'll usually make some sort of cake like strawberry shortcake or cheesecake.
-
Spinach-artichoke dip is a reliable crowd-pleaser, and you can dress it up with different spices, flavors, or vegetables too. Serve with toasted pita points. Sometimes I try a variety of dips, like baba ganoush, hummus, roasted red pepper with feta, or there's always the much-beloved guacamole!
For the last potluck we attended, I made a potato gratin with sauteed shiitake mushrooms and shallots with Gruyere, and everyone loved it. It was really easy.
I'm mostly into savory dishes lately for some reason, but I used to take a lot of fruit cobblers to potlucks, and always got several requests for the recipes. Those are usually easy and tasty.
-
I like to bring macaroni and cheese, a dip of some sort, or a cheesecake.
-
@volksgirl64: I found these on Pinterest and made them...they are as delicious as they sound!
-
Usually a dessert - like cookies. But I've also been doing a fruit salad lately so there's something healthy for me to snack on.
-
Egg rolls are always a winner at the parties I go to. Mini sandwiches, pasta salad, or any dessert!
-
I usually bring this cold crab casserole my grandma made up the recipe for. Or a few types of cheese (usually a good cheddar, pepper jack, Brie or a creamy cheese like Brie), and crackers. Sometimes some cold grilled jumbo shrimp, or a pasta salad. I like to bring savory as so many people bring sweets and I'm not a huge sweets fan (except while pregnant!!)
-
This recipe has always been a hit! It's my favorite pot luck dish. (P.S. Cooking the orzo in the chicken broth is key, as is the red wine vinaigrette recipe. The other ingredients can totally be substituted!)

-
A dip or dessert!
-
So many good choices, I still can't decide!
-
In my group of friends, we have lots of potlucks! Recently, I've brought homemade lasagna, chicken & broccoli mac n cheese, spam masubis, kimchi friend rice.
-
For work-related potlucks, I'm the chip/pop person. If I have to make something, I do something dessert related! Though I did get this mean bacon-wrapped chicken recipe that's easy and perfect for potlucks I've used a couple of times!
-
usually potato salad or a veggie/fruit plate.
-
I always bring Korean japchae
