Since we had enough for four sides, we agreed to each prepare two. I said that we would have to do it all in one week to keep the memory fresh. I wanted to make mashed and grilled and he wanted to make baked and fried.
We each chose the meal to make. Personally, I think the Monday and Thursday meals will be the best combinations and the best sweet potatoes! He said that sweet potato fries would be good with a rotisserie chicken, so I he’d have to go buy one because that wasn’t on the meal plan!
**we also got a good deal on round steak and bought enough for two meals of chicken-fried steak. again, we couldn’t agree on the gravy so we made another bet! my original thought was to cook one package and freeze the other, but instead we’re having a cook-off!
i’m making good, old-fashioned, southern creamy gravy over noodles because he called dibs on potatoes and will make brown gravy.

hahahaha! I can’t wait to read about the results of the cook-off!
I usually end up doing the majority of the cooking, although if we’re grilling he does tend to man the grill most of the time. I think it’s awesome that you guys work together in cooking and come up with fun challenges like that, it’s a great idea.
