If I serve baked potatoes for dinner,

[Pencil Pusher]

what would be a good side? Just kids tonight, so nobody to REALLY impress. ;)

TIA!

[Mom2legomaniacs]

carrot sticks or other raw veggies or fruit?

[Quiver0f10]

Just melt some cheese and serve with some broccoli or other veggies kids like. Nice and simple.

[abbeyej]

Just kids? I'd give 'em some cheese on top of their potatoes and call it a meal! :)

My more responsible answer would be "broccoli". :)

[Pencil Pusher]

LOL--okay, maybe I mean for *me.* They're really little potatoes, but I've got green onions that won't last much longer, & I *love* green onions on potatoes.

Hm. Maybe I'll eat the potatoes and give the kids macaroni. ;)

Or dig for salad stuff under the onions? Thanks, guys.

When I saw this, I thought it was going to be like the If You Give a Moose a Muffin thing. LOL

If I serve baked potatoes for dinner,

I 'm going to want steak to go with them.

And since I have steak, it will remind me that I need to look for the steak knives

When looking in the drawer for the steak knives, I'll find an orange juicer that I had forgotten was there

And I just sent DH out for a Wendy's baked potato for me for dinner! (I only like them when I am sick)

[Unicorn]

STEAK! :drool5: But ya'll beat me to it! So, I'll go w/ broccoli and cheese, and since it is just the kid-dy troopers, fish sticks or chicken nuggets.

OT but I actually made your ETL broccoli 'shroom deal the other night, and it was SOOOO good! I chucked in a bag of haricots verts, too, and drizzled medium sweet soy on afterwards. Everyone loved it...so thank you! :thumbup:

This is what we are having for dinner.

Baked Potato Bar
Potato
Brocolli
Cheese
chicken (just cut up chicken tender I cooked real quick in the skillet with a little oil and seasoned with some herbs)

sour cream or ranch
butter

side:
stawberry, orange, and apple salad

[Jenny in Florida]

Onion fritters (sort of like onion rings, except I don't have the patience to actually coat individual rings)
Glazed baby carrots
Raw carrots and/or celery
Cornbread muffins
Corn on the cob
In fact, my planned meal for tomorrow night is baked potatoes with glazed carrots and corn on the cob. My husband likes to top his potatoes with lots of stuff, including grilled onions and margarine and sour cream and soy bacon bits. So, it's quite filling by the time he's done slopping on toppings.
