A Costco 15# pork shoulder smoked all day and shredded into pulled pork, and a half dozen different bottles of bbq sauce

I could either make Tadiq or Gumbo, but not both.

ALL OF THE CHEESE

SO MUCH FUCKING CHEESE

Smoked bacon jalapeño poppers. Stuffed with cream cheese cilantro and lime juice

With any luck I will supply the pot.

After all the secret to good food is

Weed

Bred Rol https://girlwiththeironcast.com/cast-iron-garlic-butter-dinner-rolls/ (use 1/3 the sugar)

Tortilla chips and guacamole. Guacamole is the thing I'm most confident in making and my mom taught me how. Also margaritas because she taught me that too.

Right now? I have a bottle of a clarified watermelon tequila cocktail, that's what I am bringing.

With more time to prepare, probably a cornbread.

Quinoa Salad

Salad

• 1 cup uncooked white quinoa
• 1 punnet cherry tomatoes halved or quartered
• 1 English cucumber diced small
• 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
• 150g fresh baby spinach coarsely chopped
• 2 large ripe avocados chopped
• 1/3 cup finely chopped cilantro or parsley, optional 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese optional

Dressing

• 4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp Dijon-style mustard
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 Tbsp honey
• 1 large lemon
• Salt and pepper

Leave out the feta and the honey and it's vegan, too.

Edit: cook and cool the quinoa before assembly.

Key lime bars, haven’t quite perfected baklava yet

Cheesecake is the one and only thing I make for events that I’m not hosting. The variety and form changes (muffin form are popular with the people I know now, not big on sweets), but its one thing I’m very good at doing to the point people look forward to it. I’m prettt sure several invites over the years have been just for that.

Because my recipe is ultra-simple minimalist base recipe designed to be slightly modified to account for different toppings, and it wasn’t written within the last 100 years (passed down several generations, though it did have to be modified somewhat ages back for modern products), and that just makes it better. Modern cheesecake recipes are crap and have too much shit in them. Flour in the filling?? Are you insane??? Talk about a ruined texture!

OP you are a lifesaver. I definitely have to get the Thanksgiving Libation in the infuser soon (it's just a cranberry orange infused vodka) and this thread reminded me I had a pear one I had to take out. I'll probably also bring a bacon brussel sprouts and maybe a roasted root vegetable this year, but I won't know until we get closer to the holiday.

I do not care if it's unappreciated and/or unwanted, but there's no way I am not bringing either my homemade mac n cheese or homemade tuna noodle casserole. Preferably option 2.

Pickle roll ups - get a full size pickle and wrap it with Buddig corned beef on the outside and cream cheese on the inside. Then slice it and they're cute and tasty 💜

Three dozen lamb Kibbeh balls. Made with lamb and onions from my farm. My great grandmother's recipe.

BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders

Throw a pork shoulder in a slow cooker with a can of coke and seasoning. Let cook on low for 8 hours.

Shred the pork (it should be easy to pull apart). Add bbq sauce. Bring rolls and coleslaw to make the sandwiches.

It’s always a hit, feeds a ton of people, and it’s the easiest recipe I keep around.

I would normally do a bacon, blue cheese, and broccoli salad

Baked artichoke dip, Joy of Cooking page 146.

How much time do I have to prepare, what season is it, and who is doing desserts? I cannot stress how much these matter.

Dill pickle pasta salad.

Shit’s like crack.

Smoked haddock kedgeree. Easy to put in the oven quickly if its cooled down a bit and its something likely to be unique.

Roast potatoes, cheap and easy to make large quantities for and they can still be good cool.

A large trench coat and two other people so we can sneak in and seize the food for ourselves.

Baked mac and cheese, probably.

Scalloped Potatoes with lots of cream and ham inside.

Mannerströms Surströmming. It's fine, the party will leave and I'll eat it by myself again.

Bacon jam. There's something magical when onions, maple syrup, and coffee mix up with little bits of bacon. It goes really well on top of a slice of toast and Muenster cheese.

Puppy chow, Chex cereal covered with peanut butter and milk chocolate, coated in powdered sugar. Absolutely delicious, easy to make, and reserved only for potlucks

Pot, if you're lucky 🤷🏻

Tortellini chicken spinach soup! This one! https://www.365daysofcrockpot.com/slow-cooker-tortellini-spinach-soup/

Mexican Insanity Chili.

Depends on the time of year. In summer I might do a watermelon salad with tomatoes, cucumber, feta. In winter more likely a made-from-scratch mac and cheese with chorizo.
