OP here. This is it. thanks! everything else sounds great but every year there is always a ton of fruit, pasta and other salads, dips, etc and so much goes to waste, sadly....wanted to try something different

I made a 9x13 pan of cornbread and it went over really well at a recent potluck. Easy too!

Watermelon salad - Just get a whole, seedless watermelon and cut it into chunks. Mix with fresh mint and feta. It is my go to summer bring along and it is a hit everywhere.

I make a salad that is always a hit, similar to pps orzo salad

Brown rice, lentils or chick peas
Diced tomatoes and cucumbers
Feta
Dressing made from oil, lemon juice, garlic salt and pepper dash of cumin

Super easy, and it is good warm cold or room temp

caprese, or maybe fruit

Potato salad or homemade Mac and cheese.

Bean Salad/frozen fruit cups from Costco ( kids love them )/ watermelon cut into wedges/ greek layer dip w/ pita chips/ sidewalk chalk for the kids and or sparklers are the non-food items I would bring with me.

Declined eggs - heh heh. Love that auto-correct!

Need an item that is good at room temp. -- lots of people will be attending, so there should already be plenty of guacamole, salsa, dips, fruit, cheeses, etc. (the basics) so I'm trying to step it up a bit without getting too involved.

Ideas?
