need help for dinner...

[Serafine]

And, we eat A LOT of food, so please keep that in mind and

casseroles or shepherd's pie-type things are out, b/c my dd can't handle mixed foods right now, and she has already been stretched this week with mixed foods, so I want to respect that tonight.

Here is what I have:

- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. yukon gold potatoes
- carrots
- celery
- non-condensed mushroom soup
- rice
- milk
- yogurt
- butter
- green onions
- garlic
- spices

this is literally ALL I have to work with. okay brilliant ones...help!

how about meatloaf cooked in cupcake tins with a really well whipped mashed potato on top for "icing" , stir-fried rice with veggies and egg and a pavlova (http://www.joyofbaking.com/Pavlova.html)for dessert?

Meatballs w/ a garlic yogurt dipping sauce. Carrots and potatoes on the side?

[Lady TS]

Meatballs, or patties from the beef, browned and then simmered in the soup
Slice and fry the potatoes OR have rice dressed up with garlic/spices
Carrot and Celery sticks in yogurt dip(and add some green onions in there)
Milk to drink


Or...if you have time...cook the rice and then chop and saute the garlic/carrot/celery/green onions and possibly some potato and make a sort of fried rice as a side/accompaniment to the meatballs/meat patties

mmm. . . you are all so creative. :heart


Just lurking. :)

[Serafine]

Okay, so I think I am going to do this:

meatloaf in cupcake tins
confetti mashed potatoes (potatoes, carrots, milk, butter) OR mashed potato icing w/ candied carrot sprinkles. :)

We are going to the farmer's market today...so I will see if they have any greens or something to add.

:thanks
