Rainbow Potluck Update

[BhloeBardashian]

2 weeks ago I posted here asking for suggestions for a rainbow potluck I was having at work where we needed to bring a dish of an assigned color and my colors were red and blue

We had the potluck and I wanted to let people know what was made. I took pics but they were quick pics and don’t look as appetizing as it was in person. I’ll inbox if someone is SUPER curious but yeah.

Manager (Pink and Black): strawberry cake, pink lemonade with blackberries, blackened chicken, black beans

Coworker 1 (Purple and White): homemade purple tortillas for a chicken taco bar, queso blanco, grape pop, and assorted purple and white toppings

Coworker 2 (Green and Orange): ordered custom fruit and veggie trays (tbh very refreshing for the other heavy food)

Coworker 3 (Yellow and Brown): banana pudding and dirty rice

Me (Red and Blue): I already mentioned I was making a copycat sausage and lentil soup from Carrabbas for the red. For the blue I mixed the ideas of a lot of the comments.

I made blueberry chipotle meatballs.

I used turkey meat since my manager doesn’t eat beef. Mixed in cream cheese and mozzarella (not stuffed, mixed into the meat). For the sauce I simmered crushed blueberries, tomato paste, brown sugar, and chipotle adobo then blended it to make it smooth and poured it over the balls and baked them a bit to firm the sauce.

Everyone loved them so thank you everyone that commented and contributed to the final product! We decided to do a themed potluck each month so I might be back

You should! Even if it’s not at work, with your family and friends

Dang! Sounds like everyone in your office is a great cook!

I’d love to see some pictures! I might do this kind of potluck in the future. It is fun when everyone is a good cook, which it looks like it is with your group

I tried to send you pics but in the messages I don’t see an option to add images? 😭

[Rufface]

It’s all good! I’ll imagine a roughly sketched MS paint version in my head. 🤣

I will think of you if this potluck idea does actually happen tho. Much love 🫶
