So on Sunday we had a potluck meal at lunch time, this time it was a reward ceremony for my youngest son's sports. Potlucks are a great way to get together on a budget, everyone brings enough of one item that their family will eat and all share.
This time we did bring enough leftover salad home to use for lunches on Monday and after school snacks for the kids. But if you are having a potluck with close friends a great idea is after all have eaten, is for everyone to make up a plate or two from the leftovers to take home for lunch the next day.
I did the chicken soup up in the crockpot knowing that even though the kids were going to eat their big meal at the potluck, they were going to be hungry at dinner time. The only feedback on dinner was that I should make more noodles next time, I did the noodles separate from the soup. As I have plans to turn the leftover soup into chicken pot pie later this week.
