I'd do meat loaf

Meat loaf That sounds good, I may have to make that in the next week.

I think we are having beef and cabbage pie

Is Gymboree good? We have one of those, a Children's Place though I have never had anything there but play clothes, and department stores. I like to buy stuff that I know will last through more than just the one kid. He can fit into 18-24 or 2T so I know I have a lot of options, I just don't know what they are.

I buy gymbo clothes because they do last and wear well but I only buy online w/discount code and clearance. Really you can get them for approx walmart price if you buy end of season and shop for the next. I have gymbo boy clothes that have lasted for three or four kids. All mine are hand me downs and they are great. Of course they are getting stained but they rarely wear out. I get a few parent magazines so I can always get you 20% off and you can buy ebay gymbucks for pretty cheap and get half off. I hardly ever pay more than 5 bucks an items for gymbo stuff for DD.

ON is nice but if you are going for longevity, gymbo wears longer IMO

ick.. Ground beef is only made into hamburger, tacos or meatballs in this house. And the meatballs only go in tomato sauce. Yes, miss picky here.

We have had great success with children's place clothes. My oldest has jeans that I bought second hand that still look fantastic after wearing them for close to a year.

Meat loaf is only good if you have a good recipe
