Top 10 Slow Cooker Potluck Dishes
Were approaching a 3-Day weekend, and many of us will be attending barbecues, picnics, and family events. Dont arrive empty-handed!
Instead, load up your slow cooker with one of the following crowd-pleasing dishes. Ive listed the recipes in countdown order--- if you have a favorite, please chime in below. Happy Labor Day!
10) Salsa Chicken and Black Bean Soup. This is filling, delicious, and is different enough to gain lots of attention on the buffet table. Easy to stretch by serving rice, and fixens like sliced avocado and tortilla chips.
9) Lima Bean Casserole Cassoulet. I love serving this to guests and listening to the conversation. "what type of beans are these?" "Im not sure. some sort of large pinto beans or something?" I usually wait until the pot is practically empty before coming clean that they were lima beans.
8) Honey Lentils. Delicious, nutritious, vegan vegetarian, and such a fun offering to bring to a picnic. I get the nicest emails about these lentils!
7) Pesto Spinach Lasagna. I need to run to the store to pick up the ingredients for this! You have never had a better vegetarian lasagna. So so good.
6) Hirino Psito. This is a wonderful main dish to serve to guests. Worcestershire sauce, dijon mustard, and beer mix together to create a savory sauce that perfectly compliments the sweet contrast of brown sugar and cranberries. Win!
5) Brie with Apricot Topping. To make this more user-friendly for guests, insert an oven-safe dish into your large slow cooker and load the ingredients into the dish. Then remove the dish (use mitts!) and serve with your favorite crackers (we like Glutino a lot). Do not add water in the crockpot around the dish.
4) Pomegranate Beef. When we host a dinner for new friends, I usually make this. This keeps picky older relatives happy, along with the kids (note to self: I need to update some of these photos!). Ive made this for television audiences, and served it at the Disneyland Food & Wine Festival, where the kitchen chefs gave rave reviews, which made me cry. This recipe was also featured on Oprah.com!
3) Cream Cheese, Sausage, and Rotel Dip (mommy crack). The ingredients are odd, the taste is not. Make this and youll be happy.
2) Potluck Beans. We cant have a potluck countdown without potluck beans, now can we? These beans have bacon. Nuff said.
1) Original Taco Soup. Feeds a bunch, easy to throw together, and everyone LOVES it. This has been our number one potluck bring along for the past 12 years.
Honorable mention: Black Beans with Cilantro. I ran out of numbers--- this is a great bean recipe.
Enjoy your long weekend!

St Patricks Day Food Memories and Other Irish Inspired Food Im Thinking About on Tuesday 3 10 15
Every month has it's own most-eaten foods, but in March I'm thinking about cabbage and St. Patrick's Day food!
St. Patrick's Day is only a week away, and if you like the idea of cooking corned beef to celebrate on March 17, there's a great collection of Slow Cooker Corned Beef From Food Bloggers at my slow cooker site, including the delicious-looking Slow Cooker Corned Beef with Horseradish-Mustard Sauce (pictured above) from my friend Lydia.
My late father was partly Irish, and towards the end of his life I used to enjoy making an Irish-American dinner every year for St. Patrick's Day. I say Irish-American, because for the most part the foods Americans eat on St. Patrick's Day aren't really Irish, did you know that? But my dad certainly didn't care if the food was authentic, and he loved the corned beef dinners I'd make for him every year.
Not all my siblings love corned beef and other Irish-American foods the way my dad did, but this year it just so happens I'm going to have visiting family members in town on March 17, so I'm going to have a St. Patrick's dinner. Of course I'll make my Corned Beef with Veggies and Horseradish Sauce, something I made every year for dad.
Now here are a few more Irish American Foods I'm thinking about this week . . .

Cucumber Avocado Salad Recipe with Tuna Cilantro and Lime and 10 More Summer Salads with Tuna
 |
| This Cucumber Avocado Salad with Tuna, Cilantro, and Lime is better than tuna sandwiches, and just as easy to make! |
Cucumbers. Avocado. Cilantro. Lime. Let me get those four ingredients out there just in case anyone turned up their nose at this idea because of the canned tuna, which admittedly is not everyone's cup of tea. I wasn't much of a canned tuna lover myself until I discovered my favorite tuna packed in olive oil, and now I find myself reaching for it regularly, especially during the summer months. This Cucumber Avocado Salad with Tuna, Cilantro, and Lime is something I came up with recently on one of those days when I was standing in front of the fridge wondering what to make for lunch. My first time I just made one serving (and gobbled it up) and then the next day I worked on the actual recipe and took these photos. And if this particular salad with tuna doesn't grab you, look after the recipe for some other ideas for tuna salads that are great for summer.
