What kind of take out should I take to a vegetarian pot luck?
I don't cook at all, but I recently joined a synagogue which has frequent dairy (vegetarian) pot lucks. That's so that people don't have to worry about whether the food is Kosher, not because these people are committed vegans or anything.
They have frequent (2x/month) dairy potlucks. I don't do any cooking at all except for an occasional microwaved T.V. dinner. Mostly my husband and I eat all of our meals out.
I'm trying to think about what kind of foods I can get in 12 person servings for the pot lucks. This week I brought a vegetarian appetizer platter from Daphne's Greek Cafe. I've already thought of Cheese Enchilada's from the local Mexican place. I can occasionally bring a salad or desert, but I need to think of food I can get for a group at a take out or restaurant.\
P.S. Someone there is already famous for her lasagne and there's almost always homemade Kugel.
I appreciate any suggestions.
Answers: The cheese enchiladas sound good. You can also buy a couple of premade spinach quiches at the grocery store. Or bring dessert...Costco has great apple pie. soup or chili how about flat bread and hummus? You can go to trader joes and look around to get ideas they have tons of vegetarian stuff!! macaroni and cheese If someone is already bringing lasagna then you need to bring the garlic bread. It is pretty inexpensive, so allow for plenty and it should go over well. The best veg meal I have ever had was home made by myself, I thought it would have turned out terrible but it was so nice. I made nachos, corn chip things, red beans, cheese, then into the oven, then topped with lite sour cream and avocado... It was beautiful, I just piled it onto an oven tray so you can make as much as you would like.
Another thing you could make or buy would be a veg pie, sounds terrible but quite nice, all held together with creamed corn instead of a meat gravy.
How about veg sausage on a stick, much like a corn dog, same thing, you could make mini ones with a dipping sauce.
Good luck. Go to the grocery store and get one of those readymade platters that have salad, macaroni or something like that. If it's for 12 people you'll need 2 of them.
And PS, you really should start to cook. It's very rewarding and much healthier. nacos n salsa
