For an appetizer, sausage and cheese balls are great and can be precooked and stored for long periods of time in frig or just in a plastic bag. They do not need to be kept cold while traveling. I make these for my two children every year and they take them home. Son lives 7 hours away and has no problem. I have a delicious cranberry jelled salad recipe, but it needs to be kept cold so you would need to keep it cold before serving. It serves about 25 - it is from our Church Thanksgiving recipes. Pm me if you need either recipe. Crock pot recipes sound like a great idea. You can always take a small cooler with cold blocks to keep food cold. Our son always brings meat or something that needs to be kept cold in a cooler with ice and ice blocks and so far never a problem- he has ben doing this for the last 10 plus years now.
