Potluck coming up and I don't know what to make

I have a potluck dinner that I have to go to soon and I don't know what to make. I was thinking enchiladas but it seems like that is what I make everytime. Does anyone have any really good recipes they want to share? Thanks in advance.

Here's an easy grill thing i do all the time.

thatoneguyinslc's Hollywood Chicken & Stuffed Anaheim Peppers

6 boneless chicken breasts
1 bottle Newman's Own Balsamic Vinegrette salad dressing
6-12 Anaheim peppers
1/2 lb mozarella cheese
1/2lb of your favorite kind of sausage
Olive oil
Oregano (to taste)
Garlic (same as above)

Marinate chicken breasts in a large bowl with at least 8 oz of the Newmans overnight in the fridge.

Fire up your grill to med-high

slice peppers open with a slit, rinse ALL of the seeds out and get all the white stuff out.
Brush peppers with olive oil, put on grill to blacken outside and soften inside.
Remove from grill. let cool for 5 min
stuff peppers with cheese, sausage (i prefer andoule or linguisa, but whatever you like is good).
spice with garlic and oregano
brush with olive oil again and wrap peppers with aluminum foil. seal.

Grill chicken breasts until cooked. Put peppers back on grill for 5-10 minutes to melt cheese.

Damn tasty and real easy. Recipe can be adjusted to size of group.

Neb,
I'm so honored that my lil ol' Taco mess impressed you *blushes*
But, I'd check your daughter for signs of alien body snatching, 'cause I've never met a child who didn't like
baked Beans....

BTW, I left you an Oreo Recipe over on LW's thread....

That does sounds good and we grill alot during the summer. Thanks.

I know. I have yet to figure out why. My other two kids love them. She has a thing against all green foods and beans of anykind.

I saw it, thanks. We make dirt cake probably once a month or so. It's a favorite around here.

Well, if nothing else this thread proves a lot of us like to eat

Doesn't like baked beans??? That's just not right!

That's becoming really obvious.

No offense taken, and I've made gumbo that took me a full day in the kitchen to complete, too! I was thinking more towards ease of preparation--thus, the 30 minute variety.


Sometimes all that time in the kitchen is really worth it though.

Let simmer 30 minutes or more (I like to make it a day ahead of time and reheat. It is always better the next day)


The same can be said of chili. I rarely make chili unless I have a day or two to do it RIGHT!

And how!!!

Don't worry, it seems some kids are like that. My son hates baked beans or beans of any kind! No matter how tasty I prepare them.

Ha! My daughter isn't the only oddball out there. But then again, there is still the thing about green food.

Roadkill Recipes

ROASTED BEAVER
Needed are:

* One 25 to 30 lb beaver (save the tail for beaver-tail soup)
* Two cups flour
* One cup bacon drippings
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 3 or 4 bay leaves
* 3 or 4 medium onions, chopped.

First, scoop up a beaver. Skin it and take it the skin your local trading post. It's as good as cash. After skinning the beaver, remove all fat. Cut into serving size pieces. Soak in salted water overnight. Rinse meat well in cold water and drain. Roll meat in flour. Brown in skillet with bacon drippings and season with salt and pepper. Place in roaster alternately with bay leaves and onions. Add a small amount of water to remaining drippings in skillet and pour over meat. Roast at 350 degrees for 2 and one half hours or until tender. Uncover and brown 15 minutes before serving. Goes great with a California Merlot.

Odd thing about your version, though...no okra?


I don't put okra in Chicken and Sausage Gumbo. I don't like the mix of roux and okra. However, with Seafood Gumbo I make my roux out of okra. You have to brown the okra until all of the slime is gone. It adds an interesting flavor.

Love that spam!


Spam is big here. Sliced thin and fried crispy.

It's also eaten as Spam Musubi.

You take sushi rice (white rice with sugar and vinegar) and make a little block the width and length of a slice of spam, and about an inch thick. Top with a thick-sliced piece of lightly fried Spam, and secure with a strip of Nori.

You can even get this at the movie theaters here.
