I would like to suggest that we do this potato pie recipe for next Sunday's veggie main. It uses 1 unbaked pie crust, 1 lb of cottage cheese and 2 cups mashed potato per pie. It tastes as good with instant mashed potatoes as it does with freshly mashed. Other ingredients are spring onions, sour cream (only 1/2 cup per pie) and parmesan (3 tbsp per pie) If we have instant mashed potatoes in the pantry, I would suggest using them. One pie would serve 6 people, so I think we would need 9 pies to serve our guests. I don't know if we have enough pie plates and pie crust mix in the pantry. I have served this at dinner parties and it is a huge hit - even my fussy eaters like it.

Sally,

It sounds nice, and is a good suggestion to get rid of all the cottage cheese, but I am thinking that because we are already doing the mash, there is a potential duplication.

Generally, we usually plan to serve the starch and vegetable side with the vegetarian main (not just with the meat main).

For this reason, I think we need to select another vegetarian dish for Dinner 20. What do you think?

Hi,

You are right. I wouldn't serve the potato pie with a side of mash potatoes and it would upset everyone's expectations if we didn't serve the vegetarian main with two sides.

It's challenging, because many of the really good and healthy vegetarian protein dishes are not designed to just replace the meat on the plate. (But I do enjoy a challenge.)

Do you have a recipe for the mac & cheese? Can you do the shopping list?
