A Day of Recipes From Start to Finish

These are the recipes used in the Wacky Wednesday lesson plan .

Dinner: Oven Fried Chicken 

Ingredients

1 Package of chicken legs, wings, or thighs

Olive Oil

1 1/2 C Flour

Your favorite poultry seasoning

(I always do garlic salt, celery salt, onion powder, thyme, parsley, rosemary and a little cayenne pepper) 

Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 F.  Mix on a plate the flour with your seasonings. Rub your chicken all over with olive oil then roll in the flour mixture. As you go lay them on a cookie sheet. Once you have coated all of them place into the oven and cook until browned and crispy.


Side Dish: Sweet Potato hash

Ingredients

6 Sweet potatoes (the sweet potatoes I get are on the small side if they seem big do less)

1/2  Onion

2 cloves Garlic

Olive oil

1 C Fresh Spinach

1 tsp Salt

Directions

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 2 inch cubes. Heat olive oil in a large fry pan. Dice one medium sized onion and crush the garlic. Once the pan is hot put the potatoes onion and garlic in. Chop the spinach. Once the potatoes start to brown add the spinach and sprinkle the salt on. Keep flipping the potatoes till all is browned.

Snack: Tropical Fruit Salad 

Ingredients 

1 Banana 

1 Mango 

1 1/2 C Pineapple

1/3 C Shredded Coconut

(If you like papaya or guava add these also, they are so good for you, I just still haven't acquired a taste for them) 

Directions

Chop up all the fruits and place in a bowl then sprinkle on top with Coconut.

Lunch: Sloppy Joe's 

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs of ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken, I have tried them all, and they are taste so good with this recipe)

1 C stock or broth (chicken, vegetable, or beef whatever is handy)

1/2 C Ketchup

2 Cloves of minced Garlic

2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce 

2 Tbs Sugar

1 1/2 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

Directions

I throw everything into my crockpot and let it cook for a few hours. If you don't have the time or a crockpot, just cook the meat in a fry pan till all browned, and make the sauce in a sauce pan on the stove. Once the sauce thickens add the meat. 

(I used romain lettuce instead of bread for Wacky Wednesday lesson plan)

Breakfast: Pig in a Poke (this may sound silly but it taste amazing)

Ingredients (This will only make one so I usually double or triple it)

8 Slices of Bacon or Sausage

3 Eggs

3/4 C Flour

3/4 C Milk

Pinch of Salt

Maple Syrup (optional)

Directions

Pre-heat oven to 425 F. Cook the bacon/sausage in an Iron fry pan on the stove (if you don't have use a regular fry pan). Mix eggs, milk, flour, and salt. Take the bacon/sausage out of the pan chop up. Pour the mixture into your iron fry pan (if you don't have the fry pan put it into a pie dish, and if you are doubling or tripling make sure to spread evenly to three different dishes) and add meat. Put it into the oven and bake 15-20 minutes. Before eating drizzle with maple syrup.  

I am not a big fan of breakfast meat, so I have even replaced the meat with some cooked apples and it's really good.
