Whip it up Wednesday

My youngest daughter has been on a serious cookbook/cooking kick. So when she came home with a cookbook from her school library she asked me if she could prepare dinner. Well I didn't want to be a bad momma and say no and so she set off to cook for her family. Chris was shocked and amazed that it was actually really good so I figured I would share the fun easy , but yummy recipe even a kid could make.
Spicy Chicken burgers
2 lg chicken breasts hut in half
1/2 c flour
1/4 t chili powder
salt and pepper to taste
veggie oil for frying
your favorite buns
lettuce
salsa
sour cream
Flatten chicken breasts using palm of your hand or heavy rolling pin
Put flour, chili powder, and Chicken in large plastic bag Close the top and shake well.
Take chicken out of the bag and add salt and pepper
Heat oil in frying pan until hot Fry the chicken about 8 min each side until firm and golden brown.
Open buns and leetuce, chicken , sour cream, and salsa. Serve.
to go along with it my kids also fixed...
Funky fries
6 med potatoes
5 T sunflower or olive oil
Pre heat oven to 475
Scrub potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise then into narrow wedges.
Brush the baking sheet with oil. Lay the wedges in one layer on top, then brush them with oil and season ( We use Lawry's all season salt, but dried herbs work for a more meditrrianean flavor.)
Bake wedges on top oven rack about 20 min or until crisp , golden brown and puffy.

Mmmmmmm! Great recipes! I will need to try these soon. Kadesia's been helping more in the kitchen lately, too. Javan even helped me make tea! LOL It's so fun to have them learning to cook and enjoy food: not just the eating part! LOL Your girls look so sweet in that photo cooking together. What great memories they are making...all of you!

Yummy!!!

ENCOURAGE your kids to cook!! It will save time/stress later when they call you in the middle of the night (forgetting about time zones!) and ask you how to make French toast. True story!
