Be A Summer Potluck Rockstar With These Recipes!

Are you one those people that offers to bring the chips, sodas or paper plates to Summer parties? I used to be too! Over the years I have broken out of my potluck ‘shell’ and found several tried and TRUE recipes that are sure to be the hit of any Summertime party!

The trick to great summer potluck recipes are that they travel well and are even better if they can be made ahead of time. If you are going to a potluck, you may be asked to bring an appetizer, side dish, salad, dessert, fresh fruit or beverage.

Below are my favorite warm-weather picks from each category that are sure to make you a POTLUCK ROCK STAR!
