Pot Lucky
Fans of this site have been fully immersed in the concept of Pot Lucky. It takes the concept of a Potluck one step further, emphasizing the Lucky. A Pot Lucky is basically a Curated Potluck. In case you don’t yet know, I have a deep-seeded fear of potlucks.

So, it occurred to me to help people help themselves. By creating a theme (which makes it easier for guests to focus on their contribution to the menu), suggesting categories, and having a Sign Up for Your Dish List, you can create an amazing feast. We are up to a dozen now and all are detailed here. Every feast has been a standout…from soup exchanges to sliders, pizza, meatloaf, and nautical style. Like any good mother, I can’t really choose.

Chipotle Fig Glazed Chicken & Fajita Fiesta – Olé!
If it’s summer, it’s grilling time and what better way to get a little entertaining help than a Pot Lucky. After the success of last year’s Slider Grill-a-thon, I picked Fajita Fiesta for a theme. I also had a brand new jar of Balsamic Pepper Fig Spread land...
