Bangers & mash, mushroom-n-onion gravy, roasted carrots, Honeycrisp apple for dessert.

Sounds delicious!
Mushroom & onion gravy was part of dinner at our house too, only with crumbled up hamburger and mixed vegetables thrown in and served over rice. Good way to fly some veggies under the radar for my kids.

Exactly! That gravy was a great dipping sauce for her to eat the "yucky" carrots. She's not a fan of cooked carrots, but I am. She loves cooked onions, though, so if I put onions in a dish she will pick them out and gobble them down - sometimes eating other stealth veggies by accident. Spinach and mushrooms are my other go-to stealth veggies.

Our motto at the dinner table is "whatever it takes to get the food in her belly". If that means a side of dipping sauce (sour cream, bbq, ketchup, spicy peanut sauce, guac, etc'), then we do that - within reason. She has dipped grape tomatoes in vanilla yogurt before (made me gag!), but she ate all of it without complaint, so I considered that a food victory! Her taste buds are definitely more adventurous than mine were at her age.

It is my favorite meal, but there are quite a few close seconds. I especially like it on day two; that is if there is anything leftover for a day two.
:D

Of course TOE. ;)

Chicken, green beans, and tater tot crowns (look like flat tater tots).
Tapatio hot sauce on the green beans, and Sriracha on the tots.

I think that's the name of them.
The wife got confused and bought those and seasoned fries, instead of Arby's fries.
Yeah, those all look alike. :eusa_doh:
