Anyone have a great recipe for a christmas party potluck?

I am tired of bringing the same things. I need something easy but tastyAnyone have a great recipe for a christmas party potluck?
I have a few easy, yet delicious ideas for a potluck!





7 layer salad (I put in mine what I LIKE to eat)





Romaine Lettuce


Hard Boiled Eggs


Diced Roma Tomatoes


Green Onions


Peas


Salad Dressing: Hidden Valley Ranch packet, Mayo


Topping: Shredded Cheddar Cheese %26amp; Crumbled Bacon (I buy the hormel Bacon bits-easier)





Just layer and put the salad dressing on and topping! Use as much or as little to taste. You can also substitue other veggies, like peppers, if you want, no rules on this one! It looks fantastic in a glass bowl!








Mexican Layer Dip





Refriend Beans mixed with half packet taco seasoning


Sour Cream


Lettuce


Diced Tomaotes


Green Onions





Layer all together and eat with tortilla chips.








BLT Dip





Sour Cream, 12 oz


1 tsp if onion powder


Lettuce


Tomotoes


Crumbled bacon





Mixed sour cream and onion pwder


Layer on bacon. Then lettuce, then tomatoes.





Serve with Corn chips. You will not believe how much this tastes like a BLT!








Even easier...





Fresh Herb Salad





Buy a bag of salad...I prefer Romaine. Add fresh basil leaves, Mozzerella cheese (Cubed or shredded) and grape tomotoes (cut in half). Any itialian dressing works well with this one. People rave about this salad at my parties!








Have fun with this!! Good luck!Anyone have a great recipe for a christmas party potluck?
I'm in love with doctorgrandmas strawberry shortcake recipe. Not only is it tasty, but it's different and it's a healthy option with some fat free whipping cream on top. Of course you can buy your cream for convince, or you can make it with their cal free sweetener, which is really good too.





Option 2 - easy and delicious, but not health food - 1, 1, and 1 cake.


Ingredients:


1 box yellow cake mix


1 C butter


1 c pecans or other nut. Walnuts are good on this too.


1 can cherry pie filling


1 can pineapple(just one below chunked - shredded?)





Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees





In a cake pan(11x13 or whatever they are;) add the can of cherries and can of pineapple to the pan, UN-DRAINED.





Spread dry cake mix over the combined cherries and pineapple.





Spread chopped nuts over dry mix. I like a cup and a half of nuts on mine. Does that make me nutty;)





Drizzle melted butter over all. Don't worry about coverage here. Just try to drizzle it evenly over all main areas of the cake.





Cook that sucker for 1 hour and, oh my gosh....one great and easy pot luck offering.





I gurantee you that neither DoctorGrandma's strawberry shortcakes or 1, 1 %26amp; 1 will be left over!
I, too, love to try different things and came up with this recipe:





2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed


2 med. onions, cut in half then in eighths


Minced garlic


Lemon-pepper


Salt


Butter flavored vegetable spray





Rinse and drain potatoes, but still slightly damp. Spray the inside of a large casserole dish. Place half the potatoes in the dish, top with half the onions, minced garlic to taste. Spray all. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper (the more you use the tarter the taste) and salt. Repeat with rest of veggies, spray and seasonings.


Cover with foil and bake for 45 min. to an hour. If you want them kind of brown, leave uncovered last 15 minutes, but watch carefully!





I know it sounds like a strange combination, but you'll be surprised at how good they are!!
Bring finger foods! From experience finger foods are crowd pleasures.


Deviled eggs are good and easy. Cheese ball and crackers, Veggies and fresh fruit. Nuts! Cookies are the best and Christmas time!
