Rose in BC Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 It will be the last Christmas they all work together as the mill shuts down in February. I want to make him a nice potluck dish to take in, preferably something that is cold or can be heated in a microwave. Any ideas? (All I can think of is meatballs, which is okay according to my dh.)

Miss Peregrine Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I was going to say meatballs. :) You could send them in the crockpot and they would stay warm all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I was going to say meatballs. :) You could send them in the crockpot and they would stay warm all day. You could do any kind of shredded meat with bbq sauce (pork, chicken, or beef). Cook it the night before in your slow cooker, then send it in cold with your dh and it reheats very well in the microwave. Add some buns of some sort, and you've got yummy bbq sandwiches.

Keeping them warm in a crockpot is a good idea. I think I might do this New Years Eve for our own party. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this idea. I think I'll go with it because it's so easy and doesn't require too much effort on my part as I get ready for the rest of our Christmas celebration. (And I already have all the ingredients.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulMama Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I love Beef Stew with Root Vegetables. Super easy to make, and would be great in a crock pot. Also, chili would be great in a crock-pot. But you said cold or microwave... either could be warmed in a microwave. Now for my dh I'm making 3 pies for his thing tonight (he works nights, too).

I just made it last night(with chicken) for dinner; I toasted the buns in the oven, and served the sandwiches with lettuce and tomato. I love it for an easy dinner that I can throw in the crockpot in the morning, then it's ready when we get done with a busy day of errands. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are good ideas too. Somehow my brain isn't functioning at full capacity this Christmas and I'm forgetting a lot of old stand by's. As a shift work wife I'm accustomed to not always having dh around for celebrations but this year seems particularly harsh as he's also working Christmas Day night shift . . . and it's a month away from his job loss . . . it's all very overwhelming. Thanks for your ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
