I haven't updated on the last two dinners --
Wednesday night, we had "cheeseburger fries"... which was a base of French fries topped with browned ground beef and shredded cheese, and then everyone added whatever cheeseburger toppings they liked (shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, chopped dill pickles, ketchup, mustard, crumbled bacon). It was almost like a salad with ground beef and potatoes. I knew some kids would skimp on the veggies, so I pulled out some carrot sticks too.
Thursday night, we had "breakfast for dinner", which wasn't quite as balanced as I'd like. I made 2 batches of pancakes, but still only had just a little over 2 pancakes per person.

Made some bacon in the oven, put orange juice on the table, and set out some homemade strawberry and blueberry syrups that I had made the other day. I also found a partial package of Potatoes O'Brien in the freezer, so I made that too. I was really feeling the lack of veggies later, so I also sauteed a bag of spinach and some onion in oil.
