Would You Consider This Dinner?

[va32h]

My family was giving me a bit of a hard time tonight (good-naturedly, not in a mean way) about not having a "real" dinner.

I made baked potatoes. Now, this was not just a plain ol' potato. They were large potatoes, topped with crumbled browned hamburger, bacon, cheddar cheese, and green onions. (Bell pepper or jalepeno optional).

It filled a whole plate - and had the requisite meat, starch, veggie. But when everyone sat down to eat, they said "where's the rest of dinner?"

Sounds wonderful, send me one.

Yum, I love baked potatoes.

 

[disneyxo]

Sounds wonderful, send me one.

I think it sounds good, send me one too!

 

[Micca]

Sounds like a meal to me

 

[ZachnElli]

Yes, I would, but my family, dh especially, would not. I wish I could do just a big baked potato for dinner too!

 

[Papa Deuce]

I can't eat that but would LOVE IT if I could.

We often do the same less the meat since we are veggies.

 

[mum4jenn]

We used to to baked potato night quite often. We have talked about doing it again soon. So yes...it IS a meal.

Sounds great to me. I considered anything consumed between the hours of 5-7 dinner. If my family doesn't like it they can cook themselves.

 

[doxdogy]

Sounds yummy to me.

 

[CheshireVal]

Sounds good to me, too.

Can I come over for dinner?

Sounds wonderful to me!

 

[mommytotwo]

It sounds yummy, but I would have to have more then a baked potato for a meal.
My family would not be satisfied with just that.

 

[ckmommy]

We did that exact same thing for dinner last night!! My family loves Potato bar night!!

 

[The Mystery Machine]

Sounds great to me!

Well I certainly would - but I can see my sons complaining..

I once decided to do a veggie night - all sorts of cooked vegetables... no meat - boy I caught heck for that one... laugh.

hmmm I may try the baked potato thing - with chicken... mmmmm they can complain if they want...

1st to cast a negative vote. That would not pass as dinner in our house. However, if it works, so be it.

 

[MinnieM3]

I like it, but my teenage son would be looking for more than that for sure!

sounds like a delicious dinner to me!!! you know, i bet that would be good with barbecue over the top of it instead of the ground beef too!
