Interesting pot-luck themes

Richard, Gracelyn and Amber at a

As part of our weekly community group meetings (most every Saturday at 6 p.m. – come join us) we always start out with a meal/snack of some sort. I think I’ve been delegated the food committee chairman and I have to admit, sometimes I’m at a loss for ideas.

I’d love to go all out each week, with “gourmet cuisine” but it seems that getting folks together once a week tends to be hard enough without adding an undue burden of everyone having to come up with a new dish/meal.

So here’s the question – What creative pot-luck/party food themes have you seen or would you like to see at a get together/party?

Some great themes/ideas I’ve enjoyed in the past:

  • Greek/Mediterranean
  • Cajun
  • Mexican – always a big hit
  • Italian
  • Potato bar
  • Make your own pizza

Sampling of the food (Greek/Mediterranean)

I did find one great thread that suggests things like dishes that contain one main ingredient (like Food Networks Iron Chef?) or dishes with the same color.

I’m also thinking I need to get more people in on The Pioneer Woman’s website and/or cookbook and do a Pioneer Woman Cookbook theme…

So, there’s the task I want to know what other clever/successful themes you’ve come up with… comment away!

  • Excellent! Thanks for sharing the link!
  • @dollye nice idea. hope we can keep the kids in control on that one :-)
  • S'mores for dessert!
  • food on a stick? wonder what that would bring out? kabobs and corn dogs I would guess?
  • We also did food on a stick, and that was super fun.
  • I don't know how well this would work with your group, but we have done 'food from where you're from' before and that's been really fun. Nashville seems to be full of people from all over, so we got some interesting dishes!
