I’m doing a project for school. I need a soup, salad, and another random appetizer and also a meat item, fish item, and another entree, which I want to be vegetarian. I don’t eat healthy but want to start. This is my theme. Does anyone have some suggestions that they tried and liked?

Rikku, I was always taught, that if you have seafood you start and finish with seafood, For instance, you can start with a Shrimp Cocktail, then have a Clam chowder or Lobster Bisque, then a whole fish or fillet. with steamed vegetables or a salad. If your doing a meat, you could start of with a vegetable soup then your meat dish, whether a steak or a roast, your steamed vegetable or baked potato, or with your baked potato and a salad, You can even have baked potato, a rice pilaf and a salad.
