Portable Potluck

The rain is coming down

this !

I emailed Kelsey last night to see if she wanted to go to EarthFare for lunch and we decided to do a potluck lunch. It certainly takes the sting out of having to pack a lunch when you know there will be other parts coming!

Here’s our spread:

IMG_3735 (800x600)

I brought GH Flax Oat Bran Buns and Kerrygold cheese and she brought Crazy Pumpkin Bean Dip and Cabbage Slaw and another cheddar to make sandwiches. The Crazy Pumpkin Bean Dip was really good –but really strange! It had “all of the above flavors” in it.

IMG_3741 (800x600)

IMG_3740 (800x600) IMG_3734 (800x600)

She brought carrots; I brought Food Should Taste Good Lime Chips!

IMG_3739 (800x600)

And I brought strawberry salad with flax + honey. It looks gross but tasted good

IMG_3738 (800x600)

IMG_3742 (800x600) 

We had leftovers and I nibbled my way through more dip, more strawberries and the rest of my chips (which I had planned to save for Foodservice)

IMG_3743 (800x600)

1 class, 1 test to go and it’s home free till the weekend (sans Food Science Lab on Friday…)

    At my work they’ve been trying to do somewhat regular pot lucks but they turn into a weird mix of not so great stuff… and someone always brings a KFC family meal… blech!

    Yours looks much better. 🙂

    Great lunch! I love doing potluck lunches with friends. A friend of mine used to bring her dog to the park across the street from my work and we’d have potluck lunchs! Looks delish.

    Hi Kath,

    I have to say, I am missing my Great Harvest bread. I can’t find one near where we are living now. 🙁

    Have you ever tried the brand Yes to Carrots? I have a really fun contest going on right now for a chance to win a gift set of their products. Prize aside tho, the message is pretty cool too, if I do say so myself – I am asking the question “If you had a billboard over your head, what would it say?” Fun!

    Check it out here if you get a chance: http://livewell360.com/2009/03/what-would-your-billboard-say-contest/

    Take care, and welcome home!

    Sheila

    Where can you get Food Should Taste Good’s Lime Tortilla Chips? Did they just come out with these? My local Whole Foods only carries the seven flavors on their website.

    Love the idea of strawberries with flax and honey. I also really like strawberries with a touch of honey and balsamic vinegar — you marinate it for an hour or so. I fell in love with this dish in Italy!
