Chili-Cheese Fries:
6 baking potatoes, cut into fries
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheddar cheese blend), depending on preference.

Preheat oven to 400. Combine all ingredients except cheese in a ziploc bag and shake well to coat. Arrange fries on baking sheet in single layer. Bake at 400 for 45 min to an hour, turning every 15 minutes. When fries are tender, remove baking sheet from oven and sprinkle cheese over the top. The hot fries will melt the cheese.

Tuesday: (breakfast for dinner) Spanish Frittata, fresh fruit, pillsbury cinnamon rolls

Wednesday: Meal Swap Day, Jen's turn to cook (Serve leftovers tonight if you're not swapping with anyone.)

Thursday: Spaghetti, grilled chicken, salad, garlic bread

I like to grill up some boneless skinless chicken breasts, slice them into strips, and fan them out over a gorgeous plate of spaghetti. Simple, tasty, healthy!

Friday: SuperFast Salisbury Steaks, steamed peas, mashed potatoes
