MAIN: Souperior Meatloaf Recipe - Food.com
I substitute ground turkey for ground beef. Quick and easy sandwiches for tomorrows lunch...yummy!
This is usually one of the 2 meat loaves that I make. You can use Lipton onion soup mix or one of the other flavors that they make. Even good with ground turkey. Leftovers make great sandwiches

SIDE DISH: Thyme Roasted Potatoes
People will laugh that I am adding to this list but I do cook occasionally though only if it's simple. I love doing roasted potatoes. You can do these with thyme or other things like rosemary, salt & pepper, Dijon mustard, etc.

DESSERT: Molten Chocolate Cakes
I had a recipe for these little yammies that had 20 ingredients and took forever. Then I found this one. The hardest part is unwrapping the little dove bars. It takes about 10 minutes to get it all done before hand, then you just pop them in the oven after dinner. Let the cool about 4 minutes before flipping them over onto a dessert plate. Garnish with whipped cream (on the side or it will melt), sifted powdered sugar, some raspberries, and a bit of mint. Divine.
