Food For Days

Another dinner brought to you by Costco.  This was a huge pan of lasagna.  I think we probably got like 10 servings out of it!

Beef Lasagna
Costco

This was another buy and bake item from costco.  It was really good.  Probably not as great as homemade lasagna from your Italian grandma, but better than any lasagna I've ever made.  These Costso meals are making me wonder why I ever cook...they are so easy, good, and inexpensive!

Grades:

Megan - A (I thought the lasagna had a good flavor and loved how easy it was.)

Noelle - B- (Noelle ate some of this but she was a little suspicious of it.  You know...too many things mixed together.)

Big, BIG, BIGGER

I went shopping at Costco in a search for pre-made, easy dinners that were soft enough for my healing wisdom teeth.  I got some delicious things that are huge enough to feed my family for days.

Meatloaf and Mashed Potatoes
Costco

If you've ever wondered how Costco's ready-to-cook meatloaf is, it's really good!  I would definitely buy it again.  The meat was juicy and tender.  The sauce on it had a good flavor.  And the potatoes mush have been packed full of butter or something because they were SOOOO good!  Just make sure you either have a big family or are ready to eat meatloaf for days.

Grades:

Megan - A (I'm not even the biggest fan of meatloaf, but I loved this.  And it doesn't get easier than just popping it in the oven and waiting for it to be done!)

Noelle - A (Noelle loved that the meatloaf had "ketchup" on it, even though it wasn't really ketchup.  She happily gobbled up the meatloaf and the potatoes!)

Still Recovering

I still have to find semi-soft foods to eat while recovering from my wisdom tooth removal.  I can't wait to get back to normal food!

Plain Mini Beef Sliders
Fat Duck
Forest Park, IL

I love the burgers and fries at Fat Duck.  They have so many varieties and all the ones I have tried have been delicious.  However, I couldn't have any of them because they all had things on them that were too crunchy, so I had to have plain mini sliders.  They were super plain, but still tasted pretty good.

Grades:

Megan - B (I wouldn't have ordered these if they hadn't been the only thing I could eat.  They were fine, but they were super plain.  I would highly recommend going to Fat Duck for burgers and fries, but get one of their specialty burgers!)
