Our homemade chicken nuggets were way better than Mc Donald's, but they've got us beat on the play area! :)

Instead of going with my first instinct and driving through Mc Donalds with my son for a happy-meal, we decided to be really creative and make our own chicken strips at home (ok, so maybe that's not REALLY creative, but humor me). It was way easer than I thought and relatively quick, plus we were able to add a little extra yummy surprise, CHEESE!!!!!! Is you get to know me better you'll discover that I am absolutely obsessed with CHEESE! All I did was thaw some chicken, Mash up Chex Mix cereal (It was supposed to be corn-flakes but we didn't have any in the cubbord) in a separate bowl that I added cheese to, and melt some butter in a third bowl.



I put all the bowls in a row in front of my son and told him to dip the chicken in the butter, then roll it around in the Chex Mix Mixture and place it on a baking sheet.



I will say this, I thought my son would feel like it was christmas morning when I told him he could, essentially, PLAY with all this food and get his hands messy, but I think the butter was to much for him. He kept wining and wanting me to WIPE HIS HANDS OFF! Which is ironic because he had spent the entire morning collecting the ugliest bugs he could find for his bug collection! WHY DIDN'T HE WANT HIS HANDS WIPED THEN? (don't worry, I washed them before we started making the food... I know what you were thinking!)

Unfortunately Andon lost interest about halfway through, wanted me to microwave him some notchose and went outside to eat, but it only took me a second to finish and the chicken strips were DELICIOUS! (I would know, I ate 6!)
