Marinated tempeh and spicy sweet potato quesadillas

Pao de queijo waffles

Making it feels completely absurd and everyone loves it

I just made this for the first time and there's no going back to any other mac and cheese. Unbeatable.

Leche Flan

My meat sauce. Sauté onions, garlic, peppers, carrots and celery until wonderful and then throw in all the meats. And tomatoes and mushrooms and wine and spices and whatever. And then cooked until tomorrow. It’s a lifetime experiment. It gets better each time.

I also make a respectable ceviche.

Blackberry cobbler.

Candied bacon wrapped smokies and pineapple

I say this because one time in college our final was an essay and we decided to have a potluck for the last day and like eight people brought plates, three brought ice, four brought cups, two people brought utensils, and only ONE brought food and it was a single bag of chips. It was glorious.

Devilled eggs

Mac n Cheese - tillamook sharp cheddar, green beans, fried onions, and broken up croutons

A clementine, almond flour cake with chocolate glaze. Sephardic inspired recipe from the NYT. I’m not GF, most of the folks who have experienced it are not GF, yet a whole circle of folks now call it THE cake.

Loving the recipes but I apparently missed the invitation to this potluck - could someone please share the date, time and address? Thanks!

Pesto pasta salad with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls, plus a blanched and chilled green veggie if I feel fancy. I always take home an empty bowl.

Alton Brown's "Once and Future Beans." @ironspike.bsky.social made them for an event and I've been making it regularly ever since. www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alto... .

My mom's Milky Way cake. The recipe takes six full-sized Milky Way bars. I warn people to take a small piece because it's very rich, but they never believe me. Either that, or pigs in blankets.

macaroni and cheese or banana pudding

i'm not trying to win, i am trying to get at a plate, is this thing byob?

Would devour this!

I love that!

Usually bacon-wrapped ribs. Maybe my bacon cheese quick bread. Or bacon chocolate chips. Or dozens of bite-sized Victorian sponges. A couple of smoked pork butts.a large tray of greens cooked with with pig jowls. It all depends on the occasion and the audience. I've done all of those before.

Okay well I won’t be filling up on deviled eggs, this looks phenomenal!

sweet potato salad with grilled jalapeños & green onions, cilantro, and a gochujang lime mayo drizzle thing

A massive New York (Jersey actually) cheesecake

pinchofyum.com/bacon-wrappe... I have never taken home leftover bacon wrapped goat-cheese stuffed dates. they're simple and easy to eat, but time consuming to make, otherwise I would have them more often.

Deviled Eggs

hmmmmm. potlucks get heavy real easily. maybe I’d bring homemade mango salsa or perhaps Scandinavian almond cake for a desert.

Freshly deep-fried brioche doughnuts. But TBH, most of the time I'd rather stay home - it's a lot of work and then the socialising...

Thanks! And it’s easier than it looks.

Oh fuck yes

I make completely inoffensive pasta salad, just oil and red wine vinegar and veggies with possibly light herbs; I can make it a little stronger with balsamic, more herbs, and mozzarella so it's kinda a caprese I won't impress anyone but I probably won't disappoint anyone

Bacon wrapped dates/goat cheese. Easy to make, people flip the fuck out.

All I'm saying is I feel bad for everybody who thinks their chili is the best in the world, because they're wrong - mine is.

If it's "not that big of a deal" and I can get good ones, just salsa + Julio's chips

Pineapple martinis!

Chocolate-covered strawberries that are hand-dipped. In the summer time, I occasionally will go to a local farm and pick the strawberries myself as well.

Fermented chili-garlic sauce, roasted chicken, Mac and cheese, and 40oz malt liquor.

Pulled pork, and I'll be fine.

Creamy chicken noodle soup and some kind of miniature pie - either cherry made with puff pastry in a cupcake tin or seasoned apple slices rolled up in homemade pie crust.

Feel free to pick & choose

Napkins

Cheese enchiladas. The right way. With the right business.

My Chex mix. (that hopefully someday I’ll be able to enter in the MN state fair)

Brownies or a huge watermelon cut into 1” cubes.

Dutch letter bars.

I would demolish all of this.

Rhubarb custard pie and my mom's broccoli salad.

Seven layer salad ft Fakeos, miracle whip, iceberg. This is one dish you don’t want to “upgrade” bc the industrial food products inside it are perfect.

Oh yeah also black olives

My cousin gave me a recipe for a buffalo chicken pasta salad (I usually hate pasta salad) with Frank’s, ranch, mayo, chicken, cherry tomatoes, peas, and it’s so freaking good on radiatori - my new favorite pasta shape

We love making cochinita pibil.

Deviled eggs most of the year. And not bland ones - tangy with the glue of the family sweet pickle brine and a lot of fresh grated horseradish in addition to hot sauce, Coleman’s dry, etc. In summer, a big old plate of sliced home grown tomatoes.

Hello I would like to subscribe to your meal service.

It makes sense bc that’s your deep roots. Indigenous ppl only started making fry bread once the government was involved

Jfc that looks incredible.

Wow 👌

Omg

This will kill at the Master Gardener potluck for sure1

Whoaaaa, these look so good!

My sister tonight: What is that chicken thing you make with olives and prunes?? Only the best "Chicken Marbella", from the Silver Palate cookbook. Which is an A+++ cookbook BTW. Feeds a crowd.

My grandmother's peanut butter pie.

Y'all don't want to eat my cooking. 😆

Smoked pulled pork.

Baked beans from the Threadgills' owner's mom's batch cook recipe. 35 years and it's a perennial hit. Real ones will know.

Chili and cornbread, easy and filling.

Said s’mores bars:

I did win a potluck competition once with a side dish that included brown rice, pecans, pineapple and a curry dressing, so I'll bring that.

😊

Oh, my!

Bag of weird chips.

Drooling now.

chiles rellenos

I’m bringing two Crave Cases

Potica! (The bread in my pfp)

chicken a la bretonne from the Julia Child cookbook. hideously time consuming but it’s chicken in a cheesy creamy tarragony sauce, it will make you stronger if it doesn’t kill you

Ohhh the texture on that cake has me making grabby-hands 0_0

Another strong contender: Chocolate semifreddo topped with ganache and mixed berries. 🍽️

Chicken and black truffle spaghetti or my own take Olive Garden's toscana soup, both of which can be made gluten free

Artichoke dip. The bomb.

My 7-layer refried bean dip, which uses canned refried beans (!) but fresh eveything else. One of the layers is sour cream, then after it comes out of the oven, I add a layer on top to protect the fresh-made guacamole topping. People make swoony faces when they eat it.

Sooooouuuuuup

This is my wife’s recipe, but I’m bringing this hot four bean dish (baked, green, lima, and wax) that everyone loves even though it seems a little weird when it’s described to you.

a power washer for the adults later

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

lol we made the bog standard Liptons Onion mix and sour cream once for a pool day with friends and one was like “this is delicious, is it an old family recipe?”

My bananas foster bread pudding

Love those Hebrew National party franks! I put them in the air fryer and they are ready in 10 minutes.

My husband’s grandmother’s German potato salad and gooey butter cookies.

To really show off, I’m making mini pavlovas with homemade blackberry jam and whipped cream. On the savory side, kale salad with almonds and Parmesan dressed in a lemon/garlic dressing.

Plates, cutlery, napkins, cups, and takeout containers. I have a husky. I can’t do that.

Caprese salad skewers and a cheese plate

I can cook a decent amount of things, but this lasagna is among the best. Garfield would lose his mind.

That sounds wonderful honestly

Cold strawberry soup and husb’s almond-flour tea cookies.

the drumsticks are great for a potluck because they're a main that's good cold that you can eat from a plate with one hand while standing up. the cobbler is great because it takes no more time to make it than to think about making it and it's fucking delicious.

Well shit, since @jcsalterego.bsky.social plans to buy all of the eggs in the region I guess I’m making wings 😂

a million dollars
