I have the same problem getting a main dish to my family reunion, eventually gave up. Concentrate on what I can make and make lots of those dishes.
Fun and tasty items;
Ham and Pickle Roll up Dip-serve with crackers
Carrot banana bread with Honey cream cheese spread(Martha Stewart)(cut 1/2 cup AP flour with 1/2 cup whole
wheat flour)
My bruschetta recipe: one head fresh mozzarella cheese(Sam's club), 1/2 cup (or to taste)- chopped red onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1-chopped, 1- clove put thru the garlic press, 1/4-1/2 cup rough chopped Fresh basil, Combine/coat with balsamaric(sp?) vinegarette (sp)
just before serving, serve with toasted garlic bread slices cut in half.
If all else fails stop at the local Walmart for a rotessiere chicken or two. Just remember to take a fork/knife to carve.
