Guild Christmas Party Food Help Needed
Our guild is having a pot luck dinner with our party. I am out of ideas for a dish to bring. The hot stuff is usually cold by the time everyone gets through the line. They have way toooooooooooooo many deserts.
I am looking for a side dish that does not have to be kept hot. Hoping to avoid the obvious potato and macaroni salads.

Have you seen the commercial on TV for the new crock pots that all plug into each other? I want them for family reunions! Okay for a dish to bring that requires no heat, I vote for a nice big fruit tray with dip in the center. With more and more people having health issues, a healthy choice might be welcome.

No one ever brings carrots, and I love these (usually take them to summer gatherings 'cause they're served cold: http://www.campbellskitchen.com/reci...-carrots-25805

Sausage balls are served at room temp. I make a batch for guild for nibbling during the meeting. They are easy and inexpensive to make a dish pan full. I use two lbs Jimmy Dean Hot sausage (the hotness is reduced but the flavor is left after baking). 2 cups Bisquick, 4 cups shredded cheddar cheese. Mix together (I use mixer with dough hook) form 1 inch balls, bake 350 for about 20 min or until lightly browned on parchment lined baking sheet.

What I call pin wheels
Giant flour tortilla spread with very soft or whipped cream cheeses
sprinkle with cavandars all greek seasoning or your favorite blend
then pile up with favorite lunch meats, chopped onion, sliced tomatoes lettuce and peperinchinis

Remove from frige slice into pin wheels and serve we like them best at room tempature.

I made roasted brussel sprouts for the first time this Thanksgiving. They were to be served immediately but, once they cool to room temperature, they were like eating popcorn (without the crunch). Everyone loved them. It's just 2 lbs sprouts, 3 T good olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper. Mix in ziploc gallon bag till sprouts are covered. Cook on cookie sheet at 400 for 35-40 minutes. They darken, get brown on the bottom and are wonderful. Nothing to go bad.
