Foil bakes..it's summer time.

An easy fun dinner especially for kids is foil bakes. There are no dishes for mom, the kids get to open a surprise "package" and each person can customize it to their taste.

FOIL BAKES

Mix together veggie, and seasonings, and sauce
Place starch in GREASED 12x12 foil. If your foil is thin, double it

Top with vegetable mixture
Layer protein
Top with topping
You will end up with a pile of food.
Lift two sides of foil up and seal snugly. Then fold the ends over several times to seal..place on baking sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees for allotted time
