Answers: ok i need to make a meal for my home cooking assignment for foods class. one main dish with two sides. any suggestions? or maybe a website or link to a whole bunch of recipes with a main dish and 2 sides. plz help me out!! remember ONE MAIN DISH WITH TWO SIDES!!
I remember doing this in school too. I loved that class, it was so fun. Good Luck & have Fun!!! I Love German Food so here is an idea...
Sliced Steaks with Sauerbraten w/ Onion Hash Browns & Spiced Red Cabbage
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the steak, divided
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups frozen shredded hash browns
2 onions, 1 quartered and thinly sliced, 1 chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 small or 1/2 large head red cabbage, shredded
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
2 teaspoons paprika
1 fresh bay leaf
1 (2 to 2 1/2-pound) piece London broil (bottom round) steak
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 cup beef stock
1/4 cup cream
1 cup apple cider or juice
1/4 cup grainy mustard
In a medium skillet over medium heat combine 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter. When butter melts into oil add hash browns and thinly sliced onions, season with salt and pepper. Cook 7 to 8 minutes, turn with spatula and press to crisp, cook 7 to 8 minutes more.
Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons oil over medium to medium-high heat. Add cabbage, caraway, paprika, salt and pepper, cook stirring occasionally 2 to 5 minutes, until tender.
While cabbage and potatoes are working, preheat broiler. Heat a small skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons oil. Add chopped onions and a bay leaf, salt and pepper, cook 8 minutes until soft and sweet.
Pat meat dry and season with oil, salt and pepper. Broil the meat 10 to 15 minutes, ranging from medium-rare to medium-well doneness, turning once. Rest 5 minutes then thinly slice against the grain.
While meat cooks, add sugar and vinegar to the onions and stir 1 minute. Add beef stock and bring to a bubble. Reduce heat under gravy to low and stir in cream.
Stir the apple cider or juice together with mustard and pour over red cabbage. Stir to combine 1 minute then turn off heat.
Remove bay leaf from gravy. Serve cabbage and hash browns next to sliced steak topped with gravy.

good luck finding a good recipe with 2 sides
rice peas
You can have sweet and sour chicken or pork, with a side of rice and a side of broccoli.
Make some meatloaf as your main dish.
And make some mashed potatoes and buttered corn for your sides : )
roasted chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy and green beans.
Dijon pork chops with (pick one) stuffing, mashed potatoes, noodles w/butter and chives and (pick one) yams, broccoli, steamed carrots, brussels sprouts, etc.
Choose a meat, a theme, a starch and a veg. You could also do something like seasoned steak with garlic bread and salad. Go to town.
REALLY SIMPLE CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
boneless skinless chicken breasts
ham
swiss cheese
your choice of shake 'n bake
This dish is different in that the chicken is not pounded or rolled up. Skinless, boneless chicken breasts are recommended. However many you want or need. Use any type of Shake 'n Bake: Barbecue Glaze, Original, Extra Crispy, or Hot 'n Spicy (recommended).
Heat the oven to 400F°.
Coat the breasts with the Shake 'n Bake, and put them in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool somewhat.
Slice them in half, and add a slice or two of thin ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. Put the other half back on top. Return them to the oven for another 5 minutes or so.
Serve as-is or top them with your favorite gravy or sauce.
Enjoy!

Meatloaf:
1 pound ground beef
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1 egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces canned diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
Topping:
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Mix all meatloaf ingredients well and place in a baking dish. Shape into a loaf.
Topping:
Mix ingredients for topping and spread on loaf. Bake for 1 hour.
Potatoes:
3 large Idaho potatoes
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 onion, diced
Salt and pepper
Paprika
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Scrub the potatoes, slice them, and put in a pot with water to cover. Boil the potatoes until tender, then drain and mash them with 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the cottage cheese, onion, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir the mixture gently, and then put in a greased casserole. Dot with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sprinkle with paprika. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
Okra and Tomatoes
4 slices bacon, diced into small pieces
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chicken base
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups fresh okra, cut into 1-inch pieces (may use frozen, if fresh not available)
Fresh ground black pepper
Cook bacon slightly. Saute onion and garlic with bacon until tender. Add tomatoes, chicken base, sugar and pepper. Stir well and let simmer for about 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed. Meanwhile wash okra and remove fuzz if using fresh and cut into pieces. Add the okra and simmer until okra is done, about 20 more minutes (less if using frozen okra.)
I like to buy frozen mesquite or terriyaki chicken, put 1/2 piece of swiss cheese on top and then a slice of pineapple on top of that. Bake on 350 for about 20 minutes. Then I make mashed potatoes and corn with butter, salt and pepper. It's cheap, easy, really good and quick. Yum!
