From workplace parties to holiday gatherings, the end of the year is filled with fun events and festivities. The key to keeping up with this busy time of year and arriving at every potluck on time with an armful of goodies is to keep a few reliable dishes in mind.
When your child casually mentions they need to bring a shareable snack to their class holiday party tomorrow or you remember last minute that you agreed to make a side dish for your book club’s holiday meeting, you’ll be glad to have a few simple, delicious ideas up your sleeve. Here are three shareable dishes that are perfect for whatever your bustling, bright holiday season has in store.
Cranberry Sauce Meatballs
For a dish that satisfies sugar cravings and satiates hungry bellies, whip up homemade bite-sized meatballs in a flavorful sweet and spicy sauce. Juicy, seasoned meatballs in a homemade cranberry sauce are the perfect blend of sweet, savory, and satiating. This simple, elevated dish is perfect for refined and casual potluck parties.
Since everyone could use an extra dose of immune-boosting vitamins, especially during the holiday season, incorporate grass fed beef liver into your usual meatball recipe. This nutrient-dense offal meat is rich in vitamins, minerals, and folic acids, making it a great source of nutrients and protein.
Puff Pastry Bites
This simple, versatile hors d’oeuvre is sure to wow any crowd and can be easily adapted to suit kids or adults. Using either a premade or homemade sheet of puff pastry, divide the dough into two-inch squares. Add your fillings and toppings, fold up the puff pastries, and bake your tasty bites.
- For a sweet and savory holiday snack, spread fig jam across your puff pastry squares and nestle a slice of brie cheese on top. Fold in the corners of your squares and add a few rosemary needles as a fragrant, festive garnish.
- For a savory, protein-rich appetizer, create a flavorful filling with cream cheese, fresh herbs, and roasted pasture raised chicken breast. Add a small scoop of filling to each square, fold it into a triangle, and crimp the edges with a fork before baking.
Holiday Lasagna
If you’re known for hosting incredible dinner parties, whipping up delicious meals, and always having the best recipe recommendations, you’re probably the first to volunteer to bring a main dish for any potluck. The key to a crowd-pleasing, delicious potluck dinner is a main course that is easy to serve, tasty, and easy to adjust for dietary preferences.
A holiday lasagna is a great option for potlucks, as this cozy comfort food is easy to prepare in advance and simple to serve. The key to this dish is a hearty red sauce with fresh tomatoes, basil, and grass fed, pasture raised ground beef. As you assemble this tasty dish, alternate between spinach and red sauce to create festive, colorful layers.
These tasty dishes can help you feel confident at your next holiday potluck, whether you’re bringing a side dish or a main course.
