Potluck Recipes?

So we are having a potluck here at work.... babyshower potluck.... The boss is bringing ham and turkey.... what should I bring? Any good ideas and easy recipes?? something economical...im on a budget....Potluck Recipes?
For a work potluck, you want something that is simple to prepare and can be brought and served without much extra heating or prep. Something that a lot of people enjoy and usually goes really quickly is a cold pasta salad. I know that's seemingly boring, but my husband and I remember many work parties where the pasta salad is the biggest hit. Try one with rigatoni noodles (veggie or plain), cheddar cheese chunks, diced red bell peppers, sliced pepperoni, lightly steamed broccoli, and italian dressing. Simple and really good!Potluck Recipes?
Who's in charge of cake or desert? Anyone? If not why not do a sheet cake or cupcakes...new cookie icings make it a snap to decorate (Betty Crocker tube or can and tips included)


If someone is doing a cake or something special then I suggest a simple sweet potato casserole...easy inexpensive and it goes great with ham %26amp; turkey
deviled eggs are always popular and cheap to make
Here's a great recipe I got from the Uncle Ben's site some time ago...but can't find it there now:





Best Ever Wild Rice Picnic Salad





1 Pkg Uncle Ben's Long Grain %26amp; Wild Rice


2-1/3 Cups Water


1/4 Cup Vegetable Oil


2 Tablespoons Cider Vinegar


1/4 Cup Onion, finely chopped


1 Cup Celery, sliced


5 Radishes, sliced


1 Cup Cucumber, diced





1. Combine water %26amp; contents of rice %26amp; seasoning packets in medium saucepan.


2. Bring to a boil. Cover %26amp; simmer until all liqid is absorbed (about 25 minutes).


3. Transfer to bowl. Cover %26amp; chill.


4. Combine oil %26amp; vinegar, stir into rice. Add onion %26amp; celery, mix well.


5. Chill. Stir in radishes %26amp; cucumber before serving.





Says it serves 6, but it will serve a lot more at a pot luck.





Enjoy!
How about Dip and Chips.





1 large can re-fried beans


1 Jar of Salsa


1 package of Taco Seasoning


1 bag of shredded lettuce


1 bag of ';fancy';shredded cheese


Sour cream optional


Mix the taco mix with the re-fried beans if the re-fried beans are ';dry'; mix in a little salsa so it makes it scoop-able. Then start layering. In a pan (cake pan) spread the re-fried beans, then salsa, then lettuce, then cheese. If you use sour cream put the sour cream on-top of the beans. Get a couple of bags of scoop-able corn chips and there ya got it. Serve at room temp.
BEAN SALAD





Get 1 can EACH kidney, garbanzo and cut green beans. Slice 1/2 onion and add to the beans. Toss with a nice Italian or vignarette salad dressing....... You could also add a can of sliced carrots, or wax beans, if you want.... This can sit on a buffet table for hours, and won't go bad either....
