If you have ever been asked to a 'pot luck' that means you should bring a dish to pass; and, from experience you know its gotta be something you can make, something simple and something that most people will eat... like mac and cheese, baked potato and cheese casserole, baked beans, baked mostaccioli, a roasted squash medley or just some greens.
Having to bring a dish to pass can feel like a burdensome task but only when the asking party makes a certain request or says 'surprise me' and then you feel that you have to do something extraordinary. You don't have to! Any of the above mentioned can be easily, tastefully and frugally made.
And, even if someone does make a certain request, just reply that you will bring what you know you can make and can afford to make as in quite often pot luck means feeding more than just a few people. And, never volunteer more than you can afford; after all, we are asked to be cheerful givers!
