    Something one-pot / slow cooker.

    Usually 5 Chicken breast, 2 tbls worcestershire sauce, 1 onion and either a jar of spaghetti sauce or a jar of bbq sauce. Slow cook for 4-8 hours night before, shred in the morning and let it rip. Goes with bread, tortillas, or lettuce wraps.

    BAM!

    Crockpot enchiladas. With homemade sauce too. All the ladies here are on WW, and the calories per enchilada come out not too terrible, so everyone can eat them (unless someone had an allergy obviously, but I try to work allergies in if I know about them)

    I almost always find a way to get out of these...trying to socialize and be friendsees with 90 other people is my idea of hell. The last one I did go to I just brought those little smokie sausages in a crockpot with some homemade BBQ sauce.

    I work at a big place and I always wonder how clean other people are when they cook. I get all skeeved out.

    I'm with you on this one. In my old workplace, we had a pot luck once a month. I didn't think anything of it until I overheard a conversation between coworkers talking about their obsessions with their cats. One of them kept the cat food dish on the kitchen counter next to the cutting board. The other had a dead cat in her kitchen freezer because she was "waiting until spring to bury it." After that, I found reasons to be out of the office or in a meeting on pot luck days.

    er...I usually opt out of the work potluck. I work at a big place and I always wonder how clean other people are when they cook. I get all skeeved out. The few times I've participated I usually make bruschetta or soft pretzels or fruit salad.

    @ enterdanger Yeah...I always think about this too...I'm often surprised at the filth that some people let themselves live in and I have no idea how these people keep their kitchen or their personal hygiene.

    We have ours limited to the 10 people in our immediate office, but it's still killer. Thank god we just put the food out and let people come and go. No socialization needed!
