Most of the time, a cake -- or I'll be the one to bring the cold drinks. I don't cook much, actually. Maybe a greenbean casserole, or similar dish made with the California Mix veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots). You know, with the mushroom soup and the little canned fried onions.... If I'm feeling really energetic, maybe potato salad.
I cook a lot and enjoy potluck or covered dish dinners. However Crystal, my 16 year old, says Lil Smokies in mustard and grape jelly sauce is her favorite and therefore must go to all dinners with us.
Spaghetti is one of my favorites. I also do a cucumber/tomato/onion/bell pepper salad in Italian dressing that's usually a great hit.
Roasted potatoes green bean casserole poppyseed chicken casserole Jackie, my mom makes broccoli cornbread. I haven't had it in years. I need to ask her for the recipe!

I like to take desserts or appetizers mostly. Tortilla rollups, sausage balls, veggie dips or brownies, cakes and cookies. I just tried the most fantastic recipe last night for pumpkin bread I will share later.
Banana split pie, banana blueberry pie, white chocolate raspberry cake--I always am asked to bring desert. I have a meatball hashbrown recipe that is good and easy, corn casserole, warm dinner rolls, baked spaghetti. Those are the big ones people ask for.
Ok I was just thinking about how good a banana blueberry white chocolate respberry pie would be! The other night I had blackberry cobbler with banana cream pudding on top. I had both and wanted to see what they would taste like together. Delicious!
