I have two carry ins at work next week. Ineed ideas for food options-- think easy and portable.

[tiramisu]

For how many people? And what are your options for heating food?

[cuddlyevil]

I have a microwave at my disposal. I will be one of several people bringing food. The one is a side dish the other is more app or tailgating snack.

Hmmm, if people would consider pasta a side dish you could do baked ziti in a crockpot. Or for either one you could make something like a meat dish in a crockpot and then bring something like chips and cheese so they can make nachos. Hmm. Clearly I need to work on my suggestions.

I love this pulled pork recipe. I make it overnight in my crock pot and the crock pot would keep it warm too.

Cupcakes are the perfect portable desert.

Cookies too.

My H makes these great meatballs in a crock pot that could be used as an appetizer. I could digg up the recipe tonight if you were interested.

I've also got a recipe for buffalo chicken cupcakes that I've been dying to try that I could give you.

Chocolate truffle pie. It's a modified version of the naked chef's chocolate tart. It's awesome. And requires no baking

PartiallySunny, I'll take that recipe! It sounds interesting and yummy
