What to bring to a potluck?

**Suki Wingy** · 03-29-2009, 04:43 PM

My barn is hosting a clinic this weekend and on Saturday there is a potluck lunch. I'm not exactly the best cook (ok, so I barely scrape by on my own) and I have no clue what to bring. I'm looking for something kind of cheap too. Any suggestions?

Couple bags of chips and a large bowl will do.

Check out my thread on Cooking 102...

I was just going to suggest the Cooking 102 thread. It'd be the perfect potluck dish!

Coleslaw might be good. It doesn't take a whole lot to make coleslaw. While there may a couple more people bringing it, everyone has their own specific taste of coleslaw - some like it slopped in dressing, some like it sweet, etc etc.

However, that cooking 102 thread dish did sound wonderful and would be good for potluck too!

How about a Pasta dish, potato or Cole slaw salad, raw vegetables with a side of salad dressing or Deviled Eggs.
All the above are fairly easy to make and not to expensive.

An easy Pasta dish that is simple to make that someone gave me:
Two pkgs of Linguini, green onions and baby spinach for color, small pkg of crumbled feta cheese and Restaurant Italian Dressing. (such as Bernsteins
restaurant Italian Dressing.)
Cook the Linguini in water or chicken broth and Drain.
While still warm add the Italian dressing and mix. (let soak a little)
Than cut up and add some green onions and baby spinach for color and taste. (add more dressing if needed)
Before serving mix in the Fetta Cheese.
You can add slivered almonds but that adds up the cost.
