Office potlucks – just one of many things you don’t have to worry about when you’re working from home. But then again, it’s also just another fun thing you miss out on when you’re away from the office.
Now that I’m an office newbie again, I’m a little stressed about it. What do I bring? Will everyone like it? How much time do I have to put into my dish? How much is it going to cost? Oy.
So, what did I do? Googled it, of course.
What I found was a fantastic diagram on “How to Determine What To Bring To A Holiday Potluck.” Though the diagram is entertaining, it wasn’t much help.

Then I took the most logical method to determine what to bring to an office potluck – I called Mom.
With her fantastic help, I decided to bring a not-so-traditional holiday favorite, a spinach salad with strawberries, almonds and a homemade poppy seed dressing. Yum.
I’m still a little stressed about whether everyone is going to like it as much as I do, but at least I decided on something. You gotta start somewhere, right?
What’s your favorite dish to bring to office potlucks? Have any horror stories of some scary dishes you’ve witnessed at a potluck?
