My stove is broken, What should I bring to a Halloween Potluck?
Both my stove and oven is broken, so I am unable to cook. My job is having a halloween potluck and I have no idea what I should bring. I was hoping to make something as opposed to buying it. any ideas?
Answers:
rice krispy treats--you can do it in the microwave and put pieces of candy corn in them to make them halloweenish.
you could make chili, or vegetable soup in the crock pot.
make a salad
if you have a crock pot maybe chili ,stew, hot dogs or take grahm cracker"cookie" treats , take powdered sugar add a little water at a time to get it to just spreadable consistancy , add orange food coloring , and top with canned choc icing
just go to the store and buy a cake, cookies, or even brownies, just take of the price tag. its the best thing , just tell them ur stove had broken, if so use ur oven to bake a cake or cookies
Jello jigglers with orange jello
BRING THE PUNCH THERE'S NO POTLUCK WITHOUT SOMETHING TO DRINK
You can make lots of things in a crockpot. Did you sign up for a meal? Make meatballs, chowder, stew or chili. A great appetizer is a hot cheese dip with pieces of bread on the side for dipping. You can make that by using 2 cans of Campbell's cheddar soup, 1 can of cream of shrimp or cream of "whatever you like" soup, 2 cups of shredded cheese, like mexican blend or italian blend, and a 1/2 can of beer (it adds a nice flavor and the alcohol cooks out of it). I've made this several times and people go nuts over it. You can also serve hot apple cider in a crockpot too, and it fills the room with an amazing aroma. Have fun at your party.
Try borrowing a friend or family members stove. Or if you have a crock-pot use that to make a hot sausage and cheese type salsa....people where i work love it and you can take it in your crock-pot and plug it back up to keep it nice and hot. Don't forget the tortilla chips.
borrow a friends crock pot...
you can keep food warm in it...
doubles as way to carry and keep food warm enough to prevent
spoilage...
nacho dip... from refried canned beans... sour creme... black olives... guacamole sauce... and a layer of ground cheese works great and if kept cool will not easily spoil... make it in a caserole dish... no cooking needed if use canned refried beans [already cooked]...
or a nice chocolate something would also be good for a sweet tooth soother...
best all round idea... bring ingredients for a great punch mix from someones favorite holiday recipe... mix at the office in a large punchbowl... freeze a ring of holiday colored juice to float in punch bowl and keep it chilled...
may you all have a great time...
Looks as though you cannot cook..... so you're option is to buy unless it's cold cuts with dip (like buy ranch drsg with celery and carrots)........
With all of the casserole or crock pot type foods, a great green salad or cut up fruit would be great. If you decide to head to the grocery for ready made stuff, at least put it nicely into your own containers/ bowls/ pans to show that you made some effort. What's really important though is having fun, so I hope you have a nice dinner and a good time!
You could make a wonderful veggie tray. Maybe finger sandwiches. You could make a soup in the microwave, something spooky and dark. You could do something on bagels or toast. You could even do a tray of crackers and miscellaneous food. Thats Pot Luck!!!!!!, lol
Bean Dip. Three cans of Chili, one package of cream cheese, hot pepper slices, velveeta cheese. Put in a glass cake pan, nuke in microwave.
A fun and festive idea....
Get a small pumkin, open the top, carve the inside out nice and clean.
Make Ranch Dip from a packet.
Put the Dip inside the pumpkin.
Keep cool in the fridge until the potluck starts.
Bring a bag of chips for the dip.
Everyone will LOVE this idea!
take your broken stove to the pot luck and leave it there just keep telling Who is ever having the pot luck that it's there luck now
hahahhahhaahahahahahaah
