by Vanessa SmithFor our recent SacFoodies potluck, the group voted for a color category theme – yes, you guessed it, dishes selected by their dominant color, from red, orange, green, purple and brown (for good measure). I took to the web for inspiration and found the perfect recipe for a light, no-cook, orange-colored Shrimp and Mango Salad, [...]

by Brooke BurgessWhen I think of potlucks, the first thing that comes to mind is comfort food that can be easily prepared in advance and that will be appetizing to a variety of palates.

by Caitlin WallaceI am always on the lookout for creative ways to eat veggies. Though our potluck theme this year was All-American, I decided to make a summer salad based on my time living in southern France.

My weakness for custard is what originally got me intrigued, and I’ve found that they are always a crowd pleaser!
