Hi Gang-
My PHC usually does a pot luck dinner before our meetings, and I'm running out new things to take (I've done everything in the "Phruitcakes" cookbooks that be counted as finger food/pot luck items, of course )

Any suggestions? Not to be picky or anything but because of scheduling, it has to be something I can make at least the day before then keep in the fridge at work the day of.

As always, I appreciate any suggestions.
Your pal, Auntie

Lasagna or manicotti
Chicken enchiladas
Shepherds pie

This is easy, tasty and even better when it sits around

CORN "SALSA" SALAD
(Best if it has time to sit overnight)

1 can black beans (drain juice)
1 can chick peas (garbanzo beans) (drain juice)
2 cups frozen corn kernels (don’t need to cook them)
1 red bell pepper (de-seed and dice)
2 jalapeno peppers (de-seed and dice)
½ onion
1 tbs chopped cilantro
1 lime (just the juice)
¼ cup olive oil
½ tsp honey
Salt/pepper to taste

Let it sit in fridge to let everything marinate

or:

“Asian” Salad

1 package coleslaw mix or 1 head of cabbage chopped
1 large Vidalia onion finely chopped
8 TBS slivered almonds – toasted at 375 for a few minutes (take out before they brown)
8 TBS raw unsalted sunflower seeds – toasted with almond slivers
2 packages of uncooked Ramen noodles – crushed with seasoning packages removed
1 cup of oil
6 TBS white vinegar
4 TBS sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons Accent seasoning
½ teaspoon black pepper

Mix oil, vinegar, sugar and other spices with wisk
Add oil/vinegar dressing to coleslaw mix
Add almonds and sunflower seeds – mix well
Mix in uncooked crushed Ramen noodles
Refrigerate 4-6 hours before serving

Try some Pulled Pork or my Rum Cake

This is very similar to a dish we make called Confetti Salad (I think our recipe also includes jicama)

Broccoli salad, with LOTS of bacon...and BETTER the next day!

Have you ever had the Kentucky Fried Chicken Potato Bowl?
It's not a finger food, but easy to eat without any cutting, etc.

It's a one-pot dish you can make ahead and then heat it at the time.

Here's a bog with the general idea:
http://blogchef.net/mashed-potato-bowl-recipe/

Fry little bites of chicken tenders-season as you wish
Make mashed potatoes for the first layer
Then add corn on top-I like a bit of butter in the corn
Then add chicken nuggets
Pour gravy on top...I make with 2 T of flour in drippings and adding 1 chicken bullion cube to 1/2 cup of water to dissolve and then half a cup of milk and pour into flour and drippings. Season as you wish, but bullion has lots of salt, so I only add pepper.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese

One of my guilty pleasure foods.

Sounds yummy (and I think I can hear my arteries clogging up just ready it )

Thanks for all the ideas!
