Going to a Spring Party Potluck/Cookout/Birthday Bash.

Please help me do a great dish/recipe that's inexpensive and easy to make.
The party is on Sunday after church and almost 30-40 minutes away from home. The event is early afternoon to early to mid evening.

Thank you in advance. I will be truly grateful for ideas here.
 
What type of dish are you looking to take? I had posted a baby BLT recipe on the haters thread & Dana made them for a work potluck & said they were a big hit, I've never made them but a girl from work had brought them in for a food day & I loved them so asked for the recipe, she said they're easy to make but a little time consuming. I can give you that recipe if you'd like. The only other thing I can think of is corn pudding, I take it for all our holiday get togethers and it is a big hit... but not sure this is what you are looking for but let me know and I'd be happy to post the recipes for you.
 
For the party, I'm not looking for a particular dish to take. Basically, anything that's easy and inexpensive to make. Both recipes sound great, I can take go to the grocery store and make it on Sat. afternoon.
thanks for your help.
 
JT,
Go to Rachael Ray's talk show website. She has lots of good potluck recepies. Everything I have made of hers is YUM-O. lol

LD,
Thanks for the tip, I was on the Kraft site and didn't see anything that appealed to me. I will check her site out after I workout.

Here you go!

Baby BLT

INGREDIENTS
•1 pound bacon, cooked and crumbled
•1/2 cup mayonnaise
•1/4 cup green onions, chopped
•2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
•24 cherry tomatoes

DIRECTIONS
1.Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat for 6 to 8 minutes, or until evenly brown. Once cooled, crumble and set aside.
2.In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, bacon, green onions, and parsley until well blended. Set aside.
3.Cut a small slice from the top of each tomato. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the inside of each tomato and discard. Fill each tomato with the bacon mixture, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Serve chilled.

Corn pudding (great for holidays/gatherings):

1 small Jiffy corn muffing mix
1 can cream style corn
1 can whole kernal corn
1 stick melted margarine(I use promise fat free or I can't believe it's not butter fat free)
8 oz. sour cream (i use Daisy fat free)
1 egg (egg beaters)
1 tsp. salt
Mix all together and bake @ 350 for 1 hour, sometimes I bake up to 1 1/2 hour.
I bake in a glass pyrex dish - 9 by 7 by 2.5

Chicken Broccoli:

4 whole boneless/skinless chicken breats
2 16oz packages frozen broccoli

Mix following all together in bowl (sauce):
3/4 cup mayonaise (i always use fat free-Kraft or Miracle Whip)
2 cans cream of chicken soup(I use 98% fat free)
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese (I use fat free)

Boil or bake chicken
Precook broccoli as per directions on bag

Spray 9 by 13 inch pan with Pam
Spread all broccoli on bottom of pan
Place chicken over broccoli (I like to shred the chicken if serving for family, for party might be more formal to leave chicken whole)
Put sauce from above over chicken

Bake @ 350 for 30 min, take out & add cheese & bake for additional 10 minutes.

It is REALLY good!
 
These do sound really good, thanks for the recipes. I will copy and paste them to have them around.
