RosiePosie84

We have a lunch potluck tomorrow here at work and I need something to make...but I haven't been able to get creative or even think of a dish I can make. Can any of you ladies help me with any suggestions or recipes??

 TIA!!

How about a casserole of mac n cheese, that is ALWAYS a hit.  I usually make mine with whatever I have on hand but I hear this a great recipe.

This takes very little time to make and is good cold as well. I always leave out the chickpeas (haven't found them canned here when I've looked for them) and you could use cous cous instead of bulgar if you want. And tweak with the veggies you like.

How about a pasta salad?  It's simple and quick.

A box of tri-color rotini, sliced black and green olives, tomato, green onion, chunks or cheddar cheese, sliced pepperoni, and a bottle or Kraft fat free ceasar parmesean dressing.  (You can always add any other veggies you want to it too.)

So many versions of this Broccoli Slaw Salad but this is my favorite Salad:1 bag of broccoli slaw1 package chicken flavored ramen noodles4 green onions chopped1/2 cup sunflower seeds1/2 cup sliced almonds Dressing:1/2 cup canola oil3 tbs. red wine vinegar2 tbs. sugar1 tbs dijon mustard salt and pepper to taste Crush the ramen noodles (before you open them up, it's less messy) and combine with salad ingredients.  Whisk together dressing ingredients adding the seasoning packet from the ramen noodles.  Toss and serve. For potlucks, I put the dressing in a separate container and add it just before serving so it doesn't get soggy.  It's always a hit.
