Schmorgasborg!

2 Saturdays ago we had our friends come up from washington, pa. They have 3 little girls, ages 3, 2 and 1 and we offered to keep them overnight. So the 5 of them came up for dinner and the parents stayed til about 10 and left the girls here for the night. We also had mom, Dre, Emoni and Micha over for dinner and to play for a while. I made a deeeeeeelicious dinner. I had made these mashed potatoes a few days prior and they were so good I had to make more. I used red potatoes and mashed them, but not completely. We enjoy some clumpiness left in there. I added a bit of garlic, butter and salt and everyone loved them! I made a salad with all kinds of veggies on the side. The most boring part was the canned corn. Then the best part was shared by the veggie lasagna and meatloaf!

The meatloaf was the best meatloaf ever and I am not the biggest meatloaf person cause it usually involves more ketchup than I like. This had some ketchup but it was mixed in and not just squirted on top. I am not a fan of that at all. It also had some cheese, onion soup mix and steak sauce in it. This meatloaf was so juicy and delicious. Dre had as much as he could eat of it until he was full and then we had to wrap some up for him to take home.

The lasagna I kinda just added whatever to it. I made homemade noodles a few days prior! I used some canned tomatoes and tomato sauce with a bit of jarred spaghetti sauce. I used ricotta cheese. If I can remember....the veggies were....spinach, asparagus, green pepper, onion, mushrooms, garlic, zuchini and I think there may have been more but maybe not. I'm not sure. I have a tendency of making stuff and forgetting how I did it. I need to start writing everything down for the next time I do it. I did that with this chili that Tim loved and he wants more but I don't remember all the seasonings I used.
