Tenderloin.

Dad's famous beef tenderloin and Mom's celery root & potato mash and roasted veggies. Have I mentioned recently how much I love mashed potatoes? Because man, I really do. Add celery root and it's even better.

Meatloaf.

Juicy, tender meatloaf served with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed carrots. Carrots aren't my favorite but hey, two out of three ain't bad.

See what I did there?

Steak & potatoes.

Thinly sliced beef with a fresh herb chimichurri, served with mashed potatoes and buttered brussels sprouts, probably my two favorite vegetables.

Chicken, etc.

Sauteed chicken breast with a fresh apple-cranberry compote (with fresh rosemary and white wine), garlic mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. I actually thought this was really good, even though it was a total experiment.

Cajun bangers & mash.

That's the only name I could think of. I think it works. Sauteed bell peppers, onions, garlic and smoked sausage with cumin and chili powder, served on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes. I was really impressed with this one, as were the other members of my family. Sorry for making your dish have flavor, England.

Too far?

Beef roast.

Some of the best beef roast I've ever had, served with mashed potatoes, gravy, beets, cucumber salad and chipotle creamed corn. Who says camp food can't be amazing?!
