Great to keep the ham warm in the crock; and serve the buns on the side

As the recipe states, I also layer this and serve as a dip

My antipasto skewers I haven't posted yet; but they are a mix of cubes of ham, cheese, salami, black olives, artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and skewer them any way you want. I use the small 3" skewers. I then marinade it a good balsamic dressing all day. I also add some fresh herbs and garlic to the dressing as well.

Great variety Church - just the kind of recipes we are all looking for.

You know you got me with that grandma recipe right! A good recipe for guests who do not like sweet desserts ...Printed, http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/grandm ... dding-cake.

Keep those recipes coming - there are one lot of summer gatherings and parties ahead for all of us!

That cake is best served warm - but NOT necessary. It is served more like a pudding vs cutting; but that is what is fun. Just whipped cream and enjoy. DON'T double the recipe as far as a bigger pan. Just make 2 pans. Doubling it for some reason doesn't work well.

Something fun to go with that cake is raspberry preserves heated up. Nothing else - just drizzle over the cake with the whipped cream.

That Quick and Easy BBQ Ham Sandwich got my taste buds going

That Quick and Easy BBQ Ham Sandwich got my taste buds going

They are really good and easy; just get some chipped ham and good to go. I add the apricot or peach preserves for a bit of sweetness with those Hawaiian King rolls; but you can use anything. Great for parties and easy. I have also used a spiral ham and just chopped everything up fine too. That works just as well.

Just something a bit different, but still classic favorites.

I always add at least one new recipe to our family favourites when we gather. Great to see all the new recipes and suggestions happening.Will make choosing new pot luck recipes super easy!

Just baked and froze the the cake base for one of our favourite desserts for pot lucks, makes for a perfect ending to an outdoor party. Quick, easy and a crowd pleaser.

Those are great pot-luck dishes Gerry! I'm sure everyone will enjoy....

DH is working night shifts all weekend and I'm away at camp, so no special dinner for him except for I packed him for his weekend lunch

Looking to be a rainy day, there may have to be some changes to the weekend menu as planned. While we do have a barbecue gazebo no one but no one loves the idea of manning the bbq when it's wet and downright chilly. On with the rose coloured glasses - maybe the sun will come out to make for a sunny and warm weekend!

Do come on in and share your special recipes planned for Fathers Day. Let's make this a come to thread for summer potlucks. One can never have too many recipes for these special days. Love summer gatherings!
