What should I bring?

shortee426 · January 2012

We are having a wrap up party for my marathon team and it will be potluck. Any suggestions on what I should bring? I want it to be somewhat simple, but fancy looking. Obviously it should travel well, and I don't want anything that needs to be kept over heat, as I'm not sure if that will be available. Pinterest links welcome! :-)

Caprese skewers would be good for something like that. Tomato, mozzarella, basil. Salt, pepper. Drizzled with some balsamic vinegar. Done! They look pretty too

Can I have some now...? Seriously.

It's too late for me to go through pinterest right now, but bet your bottom dollar I'll be posting some links in the morning!

I agree with the skewers! I make this quinoa tabbouleh too for potlucks often. Best served cold, super tasty, healthy, and can be somewhat of a fancy conversation piece (at least with those who I work with) because not many people knew was quinoa was.

I haven't made quinoa tabbouleh for while! It's so good I might have to make some this week; I bought a bunch of fresh parsley last night just because.

I don't know if it is heathly but my mom makes a 7 layer taco dip that is awesome and no matter where she takes it it goes in like 30 mins of the party. I make it a lot too and sometimes I just take it for lunch because all you need are some tortilla chips haha.

Recipe:

1- 8 oz package cream cheese softened
1- 16oz container of sour cream
1- package of taco seasoning
2- medium tomatoes
1- medium head of lettuce
1- medium red onion
1- large jar of your favorite salsa
sliced black olives (I use 2 4oz cans because I can't find them any bigger)
1-package taco cheese

Blend cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning until it is smooth. Spread mixture onto the bottom of a 9x13 glass dish and refridgerate for an hour just so it sets. In the mean time... shread the whole head of lettuce, set aside. Cut tomatoes into bite size chunks, set aside. Dice red onion, I do tiny tiny dicing!, set aside... After an hour spread the whole jar of salsa ontop of the cream cheese mixture, then the onion, then the lettuce, then the tomatoe, olives and cheese. Use tortilla chips to dip!

Sooooo good. I could eat some right now.

My fave salad of all time ever is a caprese, so I think I'm gonna make the skewers! Becca, I love your last 2 pins. I might bring one (or both) of those as well! Thanks everyone :-)

What should I bring?
