October Potluck!

It's October Potluck time, and our very first Potluck with Giada.

Time to make any recipe you choose--as long as it is a recipe by Giada De Laurentiis of course!


So if you are craving pasta, a little pre-dinner pupu (that's an appetizer here in Hawaii), a ooey-gooey dessert, a nourishing soup or salad... just find your Giada Potluck recipe and get cooking!


Make and post your October Potluck recipe by Sunday, October 24th. Don't forget to link your post of the week's with Mr. Linky below, so we can all enjoy your fabulous Giada potluck creation! And do remember to leave a comment after, each week that you use Mr. Linky to link your post, just to be sure we don't miss anyone.

Not sure what a permalink is? Check out our Welcome post.

If you missed the Served Family Style theme last week, be sure to head on over and see all of the delicious family-pleasing dishes everyone brought!



See you at the Potluck!

  9. Great entries so far! Looks like I'm going to sit out this week. Extra hrs at work and prepping for an annual family shindig. A little stressed over here! Have a recipe picked out for next week though. Will not miss out on chocolate.

  11. Hi everyone - I've just posted Grilled Asparagus & Rock Melon Salad - I bookmarked this recipe last summer (don't know why I didn't make it back then) and have been wanting to make it ever since. With asparagus in season here now it seemed perfect, but not good melons here yet, so not quite as good as it could have been. Will definitely make it again though.

  17. This was my first time participating. Clearly I did the Mr. Linky wrong. I didn't realize I had to put in the name of my dish, too. Sorry! It was Italian White Bean, Pancetta, and Tortellini Soup. I promise I'll link better next time!
