Treat Yourself Challenge Day 14: Plan a Potluck

[Cafe Kate]

Help all your friends save money too! Plan a potluck dinner. It's a great way to spend time with friends without spending too much money. Everyone brings something - a salad, bread, main dish, or dessert.

What would you bring to a potluck? Have you ever hosted one before?

 I have been wanting to have a potluck dinner! I would make some roast or something and maybe potato salad or a dip and have others bring their famous side items!! Maybe we can do this within the next week or two.

I have never hosted a potluck before. I would probably end up bringing a dessert.

I have had friends and family for potluck bbq's. We supplied the meat and drinks they brought the side dishes. We have taken potato salad, garden salads, pasta salads, chicken wings
We usually ask the host what they want us to bring so they don't get a lot of the same dishes

I was just invited to a wedding where the reception is going to be a potluck (which is a good idea).   We should've done that--it would've saved us $.

If the weather is bad we will so sloppy joes in the crock pot, chili, italian beef,lasagna.

I can't even begin to count how many potlucks I've been to! :). I prefer to bring desserts because that's what I do best.

I have hosted many potlucks! I usually head them up! My FAVORITE is the Mexican Train Wreck. It is awesome! How it is done is simple. Everyone brings their favorite Mexican main dish & an item from the list. The list includes any & everything you would find in a Mexican restaurant: Sour Cream, Chopped Onions, Salsa, Guacamole, Taco Meat, Tortilla chips, Flour or Corn Tortilla's, etc, you get the idea.

Have fun with it! Spice it up! Go Italian. Go Asian. Multiple ways you can do a "Train Wreck!"

I've planned them and hosted them, usually as part of a BBQ during the summer. LOVE them!

We have potlucks often.  I usually bring veggies because no one else does.  I also bring appetizers because i like those!  I am not a fan of meat or main dishes so I leave that to others...
