What do you usually bring
to a potluck? Some dedicated people bring their signature dishes,
while others bring store-bought salad, veggie dip or fruits
plate. There also are people who quickly volunteers for drinks,
chips, or condiments before someone else signs up for it. All
these options work just fine as long as you bring *something*.
But as the number of "pot luck occasion" accumulates
(because, you know, there are so many opportunities for pot
lucks - office parties, neighborhood gatherings, holiday get-togethers,
school events, kid's gamesc), you may start to look for a new
ideas.
If you have endless list
of signature dishes, or if you don't mind to be known as "the
chip guy", that's great. But for those of us who wants
to spice up the pot luck experience once in a while, but don't
want to spend hours trying new recipes or preparing everything
from scratch, there is a simple solution.
Here is what you need to
do: (1) open internet (I know you have access to it because
you are reading this); (2) think of a processed food product
that you often use and like (such as a can of soup from Campbell
Soup, a box of cake mix from Betty Crocker (which, by the
way, is owned by General
Mills), or even a bottle of Heinz ketchup); and (3) go to
its manufacturer's website to find a recipe that uses the food
product you selected in step (2).
