If you have to be at a potluck in a matter of a few hours, there are plenty of easy potluck ideas that require a minimal amount of time and will still impress the guests — several don't even involve a trip to the store! Whether you're throwing a potluck or attending one, check out our fave easy-peasy potluck recipes that will get you ready to go ASAP.

What are the best foods to bring to a potluck?

Rachel Claire / PEXELS

​The best foods to bring to a potluck are easy-to-make dishes and finger foods like cheese dip, corn on the cob, casseroles, guacamole, slow cooker mac and cheese, potato salad, caprese, charcuterie boards, jalapeño poppers, sliders, pinwheels, and pasta salad. Your potluck dish should be ready to eat when you arrive to the function. Attendees should be able to eat the treat you brought straight off a plate, so soups and stews aren't recommended. We have all the fuss-free recipes you need to prepare for a potluck!

What can I bring to a potluck without cooking?

Askar Abayev / PEXELS

Store-bought chips and dip, sweet tea, bread rolls, ice cream, fruit salad, charcuterie cheeses and meats, and veggie trays are all fantastic options to bring to a potluck. No cooking necessary! If you're not going the food route for your upcoming potluck, volunteer to bring napkins, cups, utensils, and paper towels. The potluck host will thank you!

What to bring to a potluck last minute?

Rachel Claire / PEXELS

Easy, quick snacks that you can make without needing to heat up anything are your best bet for last-minute potluck prep. Dips, guacamole, lettuce wraps, salsa, salad, and no-bake finger foods are all great options.

What snacks do you bring to a potluck?

Kampus Production / PEXELS

Potato chips, pigs in a blanket, fruit kebabs, hummus and pita bread, roll-ups, bruschetta, cookies, brownie bites, deviled eggs, and potato skins are stellar snacks to bring to a potluck. You want to pick up snacks that are easy to eat and easy to clean up, too.

1923 fans are excited for season 2 for a variety of reasons. Not only does it promise to answer our biggest questions from the end of season 1, but I can't wait to see Jacob and Cara Dutton (Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren) totally kick Banner Creighton's butt. They're waiting for Spencer (Brandon Sklenar) to return to Montana to help them, and the new 1923 season 2 trailer proves there's literally nobody else who can do the job. Not that I had any doubt.

Here's what to expect from 1923 season 2 (aside from a super hot Brandon Sklenar).

The new '1923' season 2 trailer shows off Spencer's journey — and Alex's.

So far, Paramount's been teasing Spencer's journey across the country to reach his family, but this is the best look we've gotten at just how difficult his travels are. Not only is he making his way across state lines with no car and no horse, he's on his own AND he's racing against time as the Duttons fight off Banner and Whitfield at the ranch. I am STRESSED, y'all. (Although I have to admit, he looks dang good doing it.)

We finally get a glimpse of what Alex's next chapter looks like too, as she's left alone on the ship after Spencer gets kicked off. Storms are to be expected, but based on the figure who grabs her from behind, it looks like she could be in some serious danger from a fellow passenger. But even the sketchiest of situations isn't stopping this woman from finding Spencer again.

Every moment matters because in '1923,' "everything has meaning."

“Taylor [Sheridan] called us and said, ‘You have to look at every scene and imagine that it could be the most important scene of the episode, even if it’s just you walking from point A to point B,'” actress Julia Schlaepfer told The Hollywood Reporterin May 2023. “Everything has meaning.”

“I would love for Alex to make it to the ranch and meet the family,” she continued. “I hope we get to see some of her own strength come out now that she’s on her own. I want to meet the Dutton women. I think that that would be a lot of fun — and Teonna, we all want to meet Teonna.”

Every moment, and every relationship, makes 1923 stand out against this year's other TV shows, and Brandon Sklenar is "confident" that 1923 season 2 "is going to be absolutely incredible," he told Forbes. “The tone shifts a lot and it’s definitely a bit darker. It’s very beautiful.”

1923 season 2 premieres on Paramount+ February 16 and stars Julia Schlaepfer, Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, Brandon Sklenar, Michelle Randolph, Darren Mann, Jerome Flynn, Aminah Nieves, and Isabel May. Stay tuned for the latest news!

I can't wait to reunite with the Duttons — and for Spencer and Alex to reunite with each other. Duh! Check out Every Character Returning For 1923 Season 2 while you wait for the new episodes.

Every January, I commit to a Whole30 month and throughout the year follow the low-carb program for a week or even a day. This year, 2025, I'm going to try to adhere to a low-carb diet all year long. My body just doesn't react well to carbs and it's generally a healthier way to live. I recently tried True Story's Whole30 Approved Bundle, which has been a great starter kit to get back in the swing of a low-carb routine, especially at lunchtime when I don't have time to cook from scratch.

Now there are tons of Whole30 recipes that you can enjoy without breaking the rules. The creativity of these dinner recipes make you feel like you're not giving up on dairy, grains, sweets or fun, but instead are venturing into a style of cooking that's healthy and *delicious.* Enjoy the adventure and experiment with these versatile mains that you can add to your monthly cooking routine.

Whether you’re a Gilmore Girls fan or a die-hard Owala sipper, you’re gonna want to hear this: Owala is dropping a Gilmore Girls collection! Adorned with adorable illustrations that pay homage to the hit TV series, this limited-edition drop is not one to be missed.

Scroll on to learn more about the Gilmore Girls Owala drop, including pricing and when you can shop the new cups!

Owala

Gilmore Girls fall—it’s a thing,” Owala’s site reads. “If you’re the kind of person who needs coffee in an IV, we’ve got the mugs for you. Choose from Luke’s Diner or The Dragonfly Inn… or get both. We know Lorelai would.” This collab is already perfection!

Owala

The Gilmore Girls Owala drop honors both The Dragonfly Inn and Luke’s Diner with two super cute cup designs.

The first is a cream white 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider dotted with purple dragonflies. The lid is a bold yellow color fitted with a lavender slider that’s used to conveniently open and close the cup.

Owala

The second 20-ounce SmoothSip Slider flaunts a brown and yellow logo for Luke’s Diner with a color-coordinated lid and slider. We truly can’t pick a favorite!

Both SmoothSip Slider cups feature an insulated stainless steel lining that keeps contents hot up to 6 hours or cold up to 24 hours. The cups are certifiably BPA-free, lead-free, and phthalate-free. The lid on each cup is dishwasher-safe, while the cups themselves should be hand-washed only.

Owala

This upcoming Gilmore Girls collab is part of Owala’s Color Drop program, which means it’s bound to sell out. However, if the drop sells out in an hour or less, it’ll automatically open for backorders, which ship 10-12 weeks after purchase. Previous drops have featured limited-edition water bottle colorways and even a fun Valentine's Day vault.

Owala

The Gilmore Girls x Owala collab will be available to shop on February 11 at 10am MT. You can shop each SmoothSip Slider for $32.99 a pop, or bundle the duo for $65.98. According to reviews from shoppers, this style of Owala is the “perfect to go coffee cup” and is “truly leak-proof.”
