Introduction

This is the one complete meal my teenage son can fix, independently. In fact, my entire family loves to make this meal. Everyone washes hands, then proceeds to add the ingredients that he or she likes, and omit the ingredients not desired. I have the vegetables washed and chopped, and each family member makes their own creations. Some even add a dash of paprika for color. After all the aluminum foil envelopes are created, we simply write the chef's name (using a Sanford Sharpie marker) on the outside of his or her masterpiece.
