Lucas Household Menu Week of 8/16

Well, Nora and the kids are coming on Tuesday so I have planned some kid friendly meals that will feed a bunch of us.

Sunday: Chicken Burgers w/ Sweet Potato Fries
Monday: Leftover chicken burger cuz they're so yummy!
Tuesday: Spaghetti and Meatballs w/ Garlic Butter Texas Toast
Dessert: PW Strawberry Shortcake
Wednesday: Chalupas and rice
Thursday: Tyson has "Meet the Teacher Night"so we will get a take and bake pizza from Papa Murphy's
Dessert: Root Beer Floats (Tyson's special request.....goes well w/ pizza)
Friday: Nora's last night......we're taking them out.....her choice (my bet, it's probably Mexican)!

Chicken Burgers:
2 lbs ground chicken breast
a few green onions, chopped
1 egg
2 T of Chicken Fajita seasoning (in the spice aisle, I use the HEB one)
1 pkg Sara Lee Dinner Rolls
cheese slices (your choice, we like Pepper Jack and the kids like Cheddar)

Combine the first 4 ingredients and shape into small patties (the size that would fit in the rolls). *HINT: since it's chicken breast, and there is hardly any fat, that patties don't shrink much during the cooking process*
Grill on a grill pan about 5 to 7 minutes per side. After their cooked keep them warm in a baking dish covered w/ foil. When they are all done, put cheese slice on top of all of them and put 'em rolls. They are so yummy and cute!!!!

I serve them with Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet Potato Fries:
2 sweet potatoes
1/2 t paprika
1t chili powder
1 t sugar
2 T olive oil

Scrub, peel and slice your potatoes in wedges (larger the better). Throw 'em in a bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Toss them around till everybody is fully coated. Place them on a foil lined (for easy clean up) baking sheet. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for about 25 minutes.

I will update this post w/ the Spaghetti and Meatball recipe later this evening.
