Dinner: seemed promising, but was ultimately a big failure
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Recipes and Food
The menu:
-
Nancy’s meatloaf recipe (recipe listed in the comments in this post)
-
Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes aka mashed cauliflower
-
oven-fried cubed potatoes
Simple, right?
Hearty and healthy right?
Kid-friendly and guaranteed to satisfy, right?
Well, no.
Emma, who had previously exhorted her love of meatloaf decided she didn’t like this one. (Sorry Nancy.) Neither child liked the cauliflower. Only Emma ate the potatoes.
Sarah ate nothing but raw cherry tomatoes.
On the other hand, Mark and IÂ really enjoyed everything. IMHO the meatloaf recipe was fantastic, and the cauliflower was AMAZING. But, neither recipe is a keeper because when half the family doesn’t eat it, it is relegated to the back of the recipe file… to be dug out again in case the child has grown a new tongue.
Suffice it to say, the chef was not very pleased at the outcome.
