Summer isn’t just sun shiny weather. It’s parties, potlucks and gatherings of all kinds, and that means FOOD. What I love most about potlucks is that I can taste all kinds of things, without putting in all the work myself to make it happen. I bring this, you bring that, and together we enjoy all the flavors of summer.
I typically have a go-to pasta salad recipe that I take to potlucks, but it’s nice to change it up every once in a while. But with what? I decided to turn to some fellow bloggers to gather some ideas and they did not let me down. I have been inundated with dish after dish, recipe after recipe. So many recipes that I have to break it all up into multiple posts and categories. But that’s okay, right? More choices means more flavors, exactly what any good potluck needs!
