Dinner Tonight

Here is what we had for dinner tonight.

The reason I am sharing is because this is one of the few (healthy) meals that all of the boys in this house will eat--a very big deal around these parts. If you are interested, the chicken nugget recipe is here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/parmesan-chicken-recipe/index.html. I used whole wheat flour and whole wheat bread crumbs to avoid refined carbs and I made it shake 'n bake style, alternately shaking on the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in a big zip-lock bag so I didn't have to dip every little piece of chicken and it worked quite well. The salad is simple--green leaf lettuce with chopped green onion and crumbled bacon--but it is the dressing that makes it a winner with the boys. Three out of the four boys ate salad which is even more miraculous and is directly attributable to the tasty dressing found at the end of this post: http://picky-palate.com/2009/05/04/10-minute-creamy-purse-pasta-and-pecan/ . We ate this with homemade baked french fries.
