You have four options:
Don’t go, also miss out on a really fun time.
Show up empty-handed also explain red-faced that you forgot.
Grab a casserole dish also head to the deli. Order your food also have them put it right into your casserole dish. Yes, I’ve gone this. It’s expensive however it works. If you get asked for the recipe, just wink also say “It’s Grandma’s secret recipe”.
Whip up a big batch of pasta salad for only a few dollars, also have plenty left over to eat for lunch during the week. You will save money also look good showing up at the party with a great dish.
Pasta salad is truly one of the easiest meals to prepare. All you need are noodles also salad dressing. You can use pretty much any salad dressing on the market – the standards like Italian, Ranch, or, if you’re ambitious, your favorite homemade dressing.
Now for the fun part. Cook the noodles, following package directions also then drain. Pour the dressing on while the noodles are warm so they will absorb all that good oily flavor.
Look around your kitchen to see if you have any of the following ingredients:
Fresh veggies – carrots, broccoli, green onions
Frozen vegetables – frozen peas are wonderful in pasta salad
Cubed or shredded cheese
Garbanzo beans ( or else known as Chick Peas)
Black Olives
Toss in whatever you can find. It’s an ‘everything goes’ type of recipe. Bring more dressing with you in case you need to add it later, also voila! You’re done.
If you’re feeling fancy, you can bring some cherry tomatoes, parmesan cheese, bacon bits or sunflower seeds as toppings. It’s all good.
The next time you are invited to a party, don’t panic. Just grab these instructions also whip up a meal in minutes. Enjoy!
