April Fool's Day Dinner

Don't you love our nice spread? Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, gravy, and a beautiful strawberry cream pie for dessert! Right?
From 2009
Nope! My strawberry cream pie is actually the 
meatloaf with mashed potatoes on top, the 
mashed potatoes is ice cream and the meatloaf 
a dark chocolate cake. Oh and the gravy is caramel 
sauce!

The sad part of it all - its sitting out and ready on the table, and Brian is not home 
yet!!

That is disgusting. I can handle the cake and icecream (I think) but I could not eat the meatloaf.

You are SO adorable. You make the holidays so much for for your family. I want to be like that when I have kids

The meatloaf was actually really good! It was sort of like a shephered's pie. I used the same exact recipe I always use. Its just got food coloring in the mashed potatoes. And it was easy enough to separate if you wanted.

Brian was actually really disappointed when he walked in the house because you can obviously tell that the cake is cake. He thought my April Fool's joke was to make a meal entirely of dessert!
