Crowd Pleasing Potluck Ideas

I’m not sure about you, but I love a great get together.  Two things come with a great together – good friends and good food.  When my friends and I get together we normally have a big dinner at someone’s house.  We all pitch in and bring things so that the host doesn’t end up making everything.  But sometimes it tough to try and come up with a dish for a potluck dinner.  [Trust me, I know!]  So I’m sharing up some crowd pleasing potluck dishes!  We have appetizers, drinks, main courses and of course desserts.  Everything you need to have a perfect potluck!

Appetizer Ideas –

Appetizers seem to always draw a large crowd.  Probably because its easy to dip and chat at the same time!

Drink Ideas –

The person who brings the drinks is always one of the favorites at a get together!

Main Dish Ideas –

I like dishes that are easy to grab and go so you can eat and mingle!

Dessert Ideas –

If you bring a dessert that wows, you will be invited over all the time!

And since Fall is near, that means there are going to be more potlucks soon.  There are football season potlucks, back to school potlucks, Halloween potlucks, Thanksgiving potlucks.  The list just goes on and on.  Just remember to bring a crowd-pleasing potluck dish and you will be invited to all of them.  People may forget what conversations they had at a get together, but they sure will remember the person brought the best dish!  (And if you bring those Milky Way Magic Bars to one of my potlucks, you will be invited over for life!)
