Potlucks are my favorite kind of parties, so I'm always on the lookout for potluck ideas. Whether its a holiday celebration, a summer cookout, or just a weekend get together, I find it's always more fun (and usually more delicious) to invite everyone to bring a dish to share. As a host, you get to share some of the work and as a guest, you get to enjoy a variety of dishes (and I always seem to discover new and amazing potluck recipes that my friends have made).
