MONDAY

Mini Krabby Patties (Turkey Burger)

** My son NEVER eats anything new, but he now loves these turkey burgers since I started calling them Krabby Patties!! Thanks Sponge Bob:-)

These easy turkey burgers are full of flavor and even picky kids love them!

• 1 package ground turkey
• 2 rounded tablespoons horseradish
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon grill seasonings
• olive oil
• Buns, Lettuce & Tomato

Directions

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together meat, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, cheese and grill seasoning. Form 4 patties or 2 and several small ones for kids and drizzle them with olive oil. Cook the burgers for 5 to 6 minutes each side.
3. Cut the buns with a round cookie cutter to make small buns. Add burgers to buns!

Sides: Oven Baked Fries and corn on the cob

TUESDAY

Tortilla Pizzas

This week I’m going to let my kids make their own pizzas, but with whole wheat tortillas instead of pizza dough. We’ll see if they like this! ha.

• whole wheat tortillas
• 4 table spoons of Pizza or Marinara Sauce
• toppings of your choice (I’m giving my kids these choices: broccoli, pineapple and mini pepperoni)
• 1-2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• Handful of chopped Fresh Basil (dried Basil will do if you don’t have fresh)

Directions

Place tortilla on a baking sheet covered with foil. Add all ingredients on the tortillas to your liking, top with basil, then bake for about 10 minutes at 350° or until cheese is bubbly.

**Here is my trick… I like to chop the toppings really small, then cover them with a little more cheese, to basically hide the toppings! My kids usually eat it when they think it’s just cheese pizza:-) (well… at least ONE kid does!)

Wednesday

Chicken, Broccoli & Rice Casserole

This is one of my all time favorite recipes! I’ve been making it since high school.

• 3 chicken breasts cooked in water and shredded
• 2 cups cooked brown minute rice
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1/3 cup diced onion
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 can 98% Fat Free cream of mushroom soup
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese  (I used mozzarella in this recipe)
• 1/2 cup of light sour cream
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped fresh broccoli (frozen will work also)
• 1 spoonful butter
• 1/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Thursday

Pigs in a Blanket

This is basically your typical pigs in a blanket, but with puff pastry. Such an easy idea and always a hit with kids!

Wrap your hotdogs in a puff pastry sheet, then slice into bite sized pieces. Bake at 350 for about 15-20 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.

Side:  Homemade Sweet Potato Fries

Slice 3 sweet potatoes very thin, toss with 2 table spoons of olive oil, 2 teaspoons of paprika and salt to taste.

Bake at 425° for 30 minutes until brown and crispy. Make sure to turn them over so they are crispy all around.

Friday

• 1 lb. Ground Beef
• 1 small onion diced
• 1-2 cups of BBQ Sauce (use as much as you like)

• 1 ear of corn
• 2 1/4 cups of Bisquick
