I have a potluck tomorrow and need something quick and easy to make.

Cook up a box of salad macaroni until it is not quite fully cooked.
Mix up a small box of vanilla pudding and add the drained macaroni to it, cover and refrigerate. It will absorb the flavor and finish softenening up over night.

Tomorrow, add a can or two of drained fruit cocktail to it and whipping cream or cool whip. It makes an awesome fruit salad. I sometimes make it with all fresh fruit, or add fresh to the canned. People find it hard to believe it is macaroni, as it tastes like vanilla pudding :D:D:D

Ohhh, that sounds good.

Really? I bet my bf would love this...he loves fruit cocktail mixed with pudding!

I love potlucks, but most people do desserts. Since they do, I always make something light that will go with anything. How about just making a healthy green salad with a light vinegrette? I always find that most folks appreciate a nice, cold salad.

Deviled eggs! Everyone loves them and they are easy but everyone seems to forget about them!

Crock pot baked beans?

Is the vanilla pudding instant or cooked?

I like craft sudenly saled. get the family box or the twin pack box. Then if you want cut up small chunkes of ham and stir it in.nobody seems to care it didn't take long they just like that it tastes good!

I use instant, it is easier to make, but cooked would work fine too.
