Could you all help me?  I need a really good recipe to take to my family reunion at the end of the month. It needs to be something that I can eat! It really doesn't matter if it is like the main course stuff or dessert. I am not pickey! If you have a recipe that is good and easy that can be kept in a cooler then I am interested. Thank you for any recipe that you can give me that is without sugar! Thanks again!

A little more direction would have sincerely been appreciated. I have scads of recipes I have been collecting for over 1 1/2 years, but I didn't know if you'd want bean recipes, chili, etc., especially at a family gathering.  If you could narrow your parameters, I'll help!

I made black bean salsa for my family reunion last weekend 

I used 2 cans of black beans rinsed
1 can of small red beans rinsed
1 med. tomatoe diced small
1 small purple onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon lime juice
1 Tablespoon cumin
chopped fresh cilantro to taste and mix

you can add corn too or low fat shredded cheese for extra protien boost and modify it to your taste and size of dish you need

I have tons of recipes if you narrow it down a bit. Do you want meal type things or snack? Shari's buffalo chicken dip is heaven sent otherwise, I can get out the recipe binder...lol
