Set the Table for a Fall Potluck

Whether you’re testing out recipes for a few new Thanksgiving side dishes, or just want to host a party with minimal fuss, a potluck is a perfect option. Lay out a neutral tablecloth so your guests’ favorite oven-to-table dishware can take center stage, at least until you wow them with this tuck bowl (whose lid doubles as a trivet!). Repurposed place cards let cooks write out the names and ingredients of each dish, so guests know exactly what they’re getting as they serve themselves on plates rimmed with the Chicago skyline. 1.
