Pumpkin bread

Nothing with poultry including chicken broth, etc. It’s the most dangerous thing to let sit out at room temp for 2 hours.

Cranberry sauce

I replied above but missed cheap and easy (sorry). Within those parameters, I think I would do cornbread muffins (with honey butter if you're fancy).

Chicken wings, empanadas, ham and cheese sliders on Hawaian rolls. I wouldn't worry about the two hour thing.

won't get eaten by high schoolers. waste of time.

Baked apples sounds better, tbh.
My kids don't like chunky apple sauce, but don't know if that's typical.

I would not worry about 2 hours. Stay away from mayo and you should be good. My kids don't refrigerate their lunches (the freezer packs I lovingly packed every day in early elementary are a long-dead remnant of the past) and have never been sick.

Hawaiian rolls

Mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, a salad, corn bread, so many choices.

I wouldn't really worry. Anything brought to any potluck has been sitting at room temp for more than 2 hrs by the time person finishes cooking, the pack up, get to potlock, it sits out some more, then finally meal time.

Consider appetizers. Hummus, fruit tray, even a cheese pizza (cut into bite size squares).

Homemade or storebought applesauce.

I got the email and am kind of stumped. I'm looking for easy, not too expensive, appealing to teens, and won't give anyone food poisoning from being at room temp for 2 hours. Help!
