We got a little silly yesterday....we've been talking about letter "B" so I decided to have a "backwards" dinner. You could do this for April Fools' or any time you need to have a little fun. I printed this little sign and the girls took it to the bathroom mirror to read. Then, we proceeded to have:Meatloaf in Mugs:
(I baked them in a cupcake pan for about 30 minutes then put them in mugs. I was afraid the mugs would be too hot if I baked the meatloves in them. This worked great! My favorite meatloaf recipe is here.).
Ice Cream Cone Potatoes w/ Pea & Carrot Sprinkles:
(make your favorite mashed potatoes, put them in a ziploc baggie, snip the end and squirt into ice cream cones. Put a few cooked peas and carrots on the top for "sprinkles". I also put some peas and carrots in the bottom of the cone).
Peach & Honey Smoothies on a plate:
(I just threw some frozen peaches, vanilla protein powder, skim milk, and honey in the blender).So, if you're feeling wild, have some fun with the family and have dinner a little Backwards! Happy Cooking!

Thanks for stopping by today!
What a cool Mom! I bet your kids thought that was so fun.
When am I getting an invitation to dinner at your place? Someone has to give you a book deal!!!
I love the whole concept of having fun with food and you are never too old to do this or enjoy it. Your children must be in their element.
A few years ago I used to host these Sunday lunches for my extended family and I used to request them to dress up depending on the theme for lunch. We never laughed so much. Then I moved overseas to Scotland and learnt about deep fried mars bars which was no joke - they eat them there.
In these doomy times we need to inject fun in every day things like simple meals. I applaud you!!!
i love love love the ice cream potato cones with sprinkles! we will be making these very soon at our house!!!
*IF* I was pregnant (and I'm not and will never be again)...I would so totally want those super cute icecream cone potatoes w/veggie sprinkles. I would seriously need to make them.
OK...being not pregnant (and never going to be again...and ok with that)...I still want those super cute icecream cone potatoes w/veggie sprinkles.
And meatloaf.
In mugs.
Hmmmm. You are trouble. ;) I was planning an easy pizza for dinner. I refuse to make myself make meatloaf and mashed potatoes now.
I mean it. ;)
