It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

What do you bring to potluck gatherings when you're trying to impress and/or feed people?

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Deviled eggs. Chili. Basically anything low effort and high volume.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

It's hard to go wrong with deviled eggs. I have to stop myself from inhaling a half dozen of the little suckers every time I see them at a cookout.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

Chili is a good idea but otoh it leaves you open to endless stultifying arguments about what constitutes TRUE CHILI from megadorks

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[greghousesgf]

I make deviled eggs a lot too. They're awesome.

Prosciutto wrapped melon balls

Meat and fruit? That is so wrong...

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

YUMMMM. An Italian classic!

Pasta salad!

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

What's in your pasta salad? I'm not crazy about the mayonnaise based kinds, so I usually just use a good bottled Italian dressing instead. It's super easy.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Ditto, except I do kind of a pesto or pistou rather than mayo dressing. I put kalamata olives, a couple different colors of sliced bell pepper, diced celery and red onion, cherry tomatoes, and if there’s gonna be more vegetarians there than just me, tamari fried tempeh for protein. That way it’s even vegan. I’m not, but I figure it must suck to be vegan at most potlucks.

I have an amazing pasta salad with dried tomatoes, salted almonds, olives, rucola and capers.

Also one with rucola, chickpeas lemon juice and red onions.

So much better than the mayonnaise versions.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[greghousesgf]

I usually do this with leftover turkey, a very light amount of mayo, tri color rotini, mushrooms, peas, garlic powder, and a little basil and oregano.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Alcohol, because I can't cook for shit.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

I'm coming to your potluck! :D

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Bless you.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[bur]

Best potluck.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

What's your alcohol-bringing strategy?

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[dani_phantasma]

Really good desserts generally. Because I love a good dessert and I can imagine tons of other people do too.

Although I just tried cornbread pudding at a BBQ place and I might need to look up recipes because DAMN that shit was good.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[kaijinscendre]

Lemon squares. Or bread rolls.

Homemade ice cream

[(Anonymous)]

Brownies, homemade granola, muddy buddies, cookie bars, pie, icebox cake, chocolate mousse, cheesy biscuits, etc. Generally whatever I feel like baking.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Cookies. I know how to make really good cookies and I love baking more than cooking.

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Chocolate sheet cake
Cream puffs
Chocolate chip cookies
Egg rolls
Papaya salad (Loas style)
My mom's pad thai because I can't make it as good as her

Re: It's summer cookout and potluck time!

[(Anonymous)]

Poke cake! It's a yellow or white sheetcake, you poke a bunch of holes in the cake with a skewer and pour a fruit flavored jello mixture over it and let it sit in the fridge for 24 hours, the cake absorbs the liquid in that time and the texture is surprisingly light and moist. You frost the top with a light, creamy frosting that can be flavored with crushed berries, strawberry poke cake with the real strawberry frosting is always a big hit when I make it.

[el_regrs]

Once I brought key lime cheesecake. Does that count? (To be fair, it was one of those themed work cookout things)
