What to bring to soccer potluck at park?
I can NOT think this a.m., I need help. My son?s soccer team has a tourney this weekend and on Sat since the games are far apart and the park is far away, they want to do a potluck. I am late to the party, people have already signed up for fruit, veggies, drinks, turkey dogs (in crock pot) with condiments and buns, chips and forks/plates/napkins. What the heck do I bring? I am thinking small sandwich roll sandwiches ? turkey & ham with cheese slices, lettuce and tomatoes on the side. But sounds like too much to put together for a bunch of 11 yr old boys. Any other ideas? These people frown at sweets, so no dessert. Oh, maybe something with carbs...kid friendly.
TIA for the great ideas!
Re: What to bring to soccer potluck at park?
what about some sort of easy pasta you can make in a big batch? spaghetti? mac and cheese?
i don't think the sandwiches would be too hard to put together for the kids either - or maybe you could assemble them all ahead of time, and the kids can take out the veggies they don't want (would that be too wasteful?)
I'm sure mac salad or a pasta salad is already being brought? You mentioned fruit... hmm, what about fruit shish-kabobs? Or fruit on a stick? Kind of fun? You could always buy the fruit pre cut up at Costco? Otherwise I think you have a great idea on the mini sandwiches.

Who doesn't love bbq meatballs?! Perfect.
Well... then, who doesn't love sweets. I think I'd turn their frown upside down with homemade cookies. They only get better if they in the sun for a little while. I'd do choc chip... but, you could do oatmeal so it seems healthy... or oatmeal choc chip... fool the adults into thinking their little athletes are eating raisins.

Bahahahaha I was going to suggest this too! My sweet tooth is out in full force today.
But I don't know if you're allowed to bring something sugary? If not, I think either Jaime's meatball idea or the sandwiches would be fine.

I'm all for kids eating healthy and teaching them to make good choices about food - but for active children, there's NOTHING wrong with the occasional sweet treat! Oh, and I loooooove me some ice cream sandwiches.
I am all about the ice cream sandwiches AND because the dessert mom has now emailed all of us saying she will bring plates, napkins, forks, I responded that I will be bringing donuts and coffee in the morning. I know I am pissing off the uptight moms, but I hope there a few others that will play along tomorrow morning and shove donuts to their boys. I can't wait!
