What Should I Bring?

[heretoday]

It's a really good cook book I picked up at the Library. I've copied macaroni salad, taco dip, and buttermilk chocolate cake recipes.
The most interesting recipe I'm bringing to a potluck tomorrow. It's called broccoli cornbread. You take a cornbread mix and add eggs, cottage cheese, and a box of well-drained broccoli. Sounds delicious to me; it will get its acid test tomorrow!

Sure sounds healthier than "plain" cornbread. Will you be serving it plain like cake, or with a spread like butter? How did it go over at your potluck?

I haven't had corn bread in years and your recipe sounds tasty.

I think the last cornbread I savored had jalapenos and cheese. Npt as healthy as yours, but is sure was yummy.

I didn't butter it, but that's a good idea. I served it in squares (a few minutes out of the oven. The book said that was when it was best, so I baked it there.
I got a good portion of raves from the adults. Nearly all my middle school kids asked "What was the green stuff?" and when I told them it was broccoli, they were really surprised. Might be the the way you can get broccoli down your picky eater.

I try to take desserts that have no chocolate, to pot lucks and picnics.

I can't remember the thousands of times I coudln't have dessert because no one thought about those of us who are allergic to chocolate.

Lemon bars are always good!

LOL

Hey there ya go! Luckily my daughter always liked broccoli, but I wasn't above suggesting she hide things like peas in her mashed potatoes so she wouldn't have to taste them.

I'm glad to hear that your cornbread was a hit!

Oooh, that sounds like a perfect side dish for a huge pot of chili! I've been meaning to make chili for weeks now and haven't yet. I am sitting here this morning making my menu and store list for grocery day tomorrow and I'm going to *finally* remember to buy the ingredients. Thanks!
