Thank you, Cub Scouts

One of Alex's achievements for his Wolf year in Cub Scouts was to make us dinner one night. And clean up afterwards.

He knew exactly what he wanted to make: Frito Surprise.

I had gotten the recipe from one of those kid-friendly meal sites last year, and its been a favorite ever since. You take a bag of Fritos, and then add the ground meat to the bag, and then whatever other toppings you want (cheese, lettuce, sour cream, tomatoes, etc). The boys LOVE this meal - who wouldn't want to eat out of a bag?

So Alex went to work. He browned the meat, he washed the lettuce (and spun it to dry in the salad spinner) and he even used the slicer on the lettuce and tomatoes.

And the best part of his Cub Scout meal?

He had to clean up afterwards, too.

I'm loving the Scouts!
