    Episode 71 Potluck Panics and How to Avoid Them Plus 5 Potluck Favorites
    Jul 3 2024
    Hey there, party people and potluck pros! Welcome back to our little corner where we swap tales and tips that make every kitchen escapade a breeze. Today, we're diving into a topic hotter than a July barbecue—potluck panics! Yes, it's that time of year when invites to gatherings are popping up faster than daisies, and the pressure to bring something wow-worthy can really stir the pot. So, buckle up, buttercups, as we tackle how to be the star of your next social soirée without breaking a sweat! **Potluck Perils Be Gone:** Let’s be real, the idea of whipping up something fabulous enough to travel and charm a crowd can be a bit daunting. But fear not! I’m here to help you navigate these waters with grace and a dash of flair. Here are five tips to soothe any potluck anxiety and boost your culinary confidence. ### 1. Smoky Pulled Pork Sliders **Ingredients:** - 3 lbs pork shoulder - 1 tablespoon salt - 1 tablespoon paprika - 1 tablespoon garlic powder - 1 cup barbecue sauce (plus extra for serving) - 1/2 cup chicken broth - Mini buns - Coleslaw (store-bought or homemade) **Instructions:** Rub the pork shoulder with salt, paprika, and garlic powder. Place in a slow cooker and pour the chicken broth around it. Cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours. Once cooked and tender, shred the pork using two forks. Mix in the barbecue sauce. Serve on mini buns with a spoonful of coleslaw and a drizzle of extra barbecue sauce. ### 2. Sunshine Quinoa Salad **Ingredients:** - 1 cup quinoa (cooked according to package instructions and cooled) - 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed - 1 cucumber, diced - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved - 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley - Juice of 1 lemon - 2 tablespoons olive oil - Salt and pepper to taste **Instructions:** In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, chickpeas, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and parsley. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. ### 3. Decadent Chocolate Torte **Ingredients:** - 1 cup unsalted butter - 1 cup sugar - 1 cup dark chocolate chips - 1/2 cup cocoa powder - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 4 eggs **Instructions:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for about 25 minutes. The center will seem slightly soft. Cool completely before slicing. Serve with a dusting of powdered sugar or whipped cream. ### 4. Buffalo Chicken Dip **Ingredients:** - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded - 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened - 1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce - 1/2 cup ranch dressing - 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese **Instructions:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine all ingredients except the cheddar cheese. Transfer to a baking dish and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with chips, celery sticks, or carrot sticks. ### 5. Caprese Skewers **Ingredients:** - Cherry tomatoes - Fresh basil leaves - Mozzarella balls - Balsamic glaze for drizzling - Skewers or toothpicks **Instructions:** Thread a cherry tomato, a fresh basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball onto a skewer or toothpick. Arrange the skewers on a platter. Drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving. These recipes are all perfect for a potluck because they can be made ahead of time and are easy to transport.
