Does this sound like a good meal?!
Im making:
Marinated chicken breast in soy sauce and italian dressing
Roasted potatoes in butter, olive oil, onion, lemon, salt, garlic mix
Pasta vegie salad (cucumbers, red pepers, green onion, pasta) tossed in a creamy dressing mix.
French bread
Desert: Brownies
Am I missing anything? and does this all go together? eek

Sounds yummy...
You don't really need the pasta though...With the potatoes you already have enough carbohydrates....
Why not lighten the salad, put tomato slices or cherry tomatoes instead of the pasta, and some green beans (for example) and/or a lollo rosso lettuce (small italian lettuce with red leaves).
As to the dessert, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to your brownies for a more varied dish (And if you want to go all out...add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce over the ice cream).
Bon appetit!
Can I come over for dinner... thats how good it is.
it sounds delicious to me-you have a meat, veggie, and side dish. plus brownies! mmm.
yea...sounds good...i don't think you need anymore. i hope you have fun!!
i envy your family.
Sounds good.

mmm...now im hungry! lol, sounds delicious!
Everything goes well together and no you are not missing anything - except for some kind of beverage. A good bottle of wine or if they aren't drinkers a pitcher of iced tea or something.
sound delicious to me. don't think you need anything else you have everything covered from main dish to desert.
not bad
That sounds great. I'm haing chinese food for dinner.
Where's the cereal?
too simple.... add some type of tamato thing (sauce or chopped) to jazz up the chicken, put it with some kind of pasta, and everything else looks yummy!
Mmmm...Yummmy
I'd think twice about the soy sauce and italian dressing. Soy sauce doesn't go too well with potatoes, either, so I'd lose the soy.
I'd add a light white wine or sparkling white grape juice.
NEXT time...try this: soften slices of mozzarella in the microwave and smear them onto raw, water dampened chicken breasts, wrap bacon around the cheese and chicken, then drop the whole thing into a plastic bag containing a mixture of flour, onion powder, and garlic powder; bake on a lightly greased baking sheet until done. Use the same breading to bread shrimp, which you can bake or fry. Each person should get 1 chicken breast and 6 medium (or 10 small) shrimp.
Meanwhile, boil rice (1/4 cup precooked rice per person) according to directions BUT: before the water boils, add 1/4 chopped onion per person, 1 tsp chopped garlic per person, and 1 tsp butter per person.
Take garlic bulbs and separate out the lobes, sautee these in butter with onion powder until soft.
Serve with your choice of vegetables sauteed with minced garlic and diced onion.
Serve with a white wine or sparkling white grape juice.
For dessert...Angel food cake served with a white dessert wine or a VERY sweet white chocolate cappuccino.
That sounds really good, though I don't know if I would want both potatoes and pasta.
I think I would skip the pasta but still have the rest.
Sounds like a really well rounded meal with foods that match each other in flavors. Now, all you need is vanilla ice cream for your brownies! :)
