Chicken Nuggets
(watch Food Inc's episode about Tyson foods- you won't ever eat a frozen chicken nugget again.....)
1/2 cup of flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp Maplehouse seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp pepper
(these are the spices I like for my chicken..use whatever you like!)
1 cup buttermilk-(I didn't have any so I used milk)
1 pkg Harvestland Brand Chicken Breast Thin-cut up into nuggets
Pan with hot vegetable or canola oil
Cut up the chicken and soak them in buttermilk, or if your like me and you don't have any...use reg. milk
Cover those babies with the flour mixture! Kate and Maddie did great at this!!
Fry until golden brown
Okay, so they made a big mess, but it was fun! :) They really enjoyed helping me cook!
I am very particular when it comes to bacteria and meat! Michael calls it "anal." It's serious stuff tho! You can get really sick from salmonella, or get stapholocous...or whatever it's called! :P
Anyways, I really didn't like the idea of them messing with raw chicken, even though they used tongs, but I decided to chill-out about it! Another point for Mom, letting go! :0)
I did have to stop Maddie at one point from sucking on her fingers though!!
Of course, afterwards we washed our hands and our arms....up way past our elbows. :P
I then cleaned the counter with antibacterial spray, cleaned the dishes, then we all washed our hands, yes, again. Lol! Okay....well I have to admit, I did wipe the counter down again and let it dry before we began the potatoes! Yes I guess I am a little anal, but I'd rather not have food poisioning! :)
All Done!!
It's soooo good!! Now get out your favorite sauces!!!
We like-Ranch, Honey Mustard, Ketchup and Bar-b-que
On to the French Fries: These are pretty self explanatory.
It was soo cool for Katelyn. I make potatoes in most all of it's other forms, but we normally don't make french fries at home, so this was a treat.
She didn't know fries were made from potatoes b'c she is used to only seeing them from
Chick-Fil-A or Restaurants! lol!
To have them at home, and her make them was soo cool to her!
We used 4 large potatoes.
She was a good peeler!!
Maddie lost interest at this point...she decided to dance in the living room
to the background music..all while in her apron! :)
I didn't get a picture of that!
Mommy took over from there and cut these potatoes into french fries!
Fry until golden brown!
Green Beans
Frozen Green Beans- Pop those in the microwave with salt, pepper, bit of garlic and butter
Michael, one of 3 critics, even said it tasted good! Yay!
I love when a meal makes everyone in my family happy!
Now, onto dessert...I'm thinking Cookies, Milk, Then popcorn and a movie with the fam!!
Have a great weekend Everyone!
