Chicken Nuggets

Other than birthdays, we rarely have chicken nuggets. For birthdays, the kids enjoy dinosaur nuggets eaten in a very specific way. Make them some dinosaur nuggets one day and ask if you are curious.

The other day, Andrea really wanted some nuggets, so she made some along with homemade chips. Thank you camp Patmos and Career Center for teaching Andrea the proper way to deep fry 🙂

Cheese Crackers

Growing up, Mom always had some sort of cheese crackers. They were her special treat, but she would share them with us.

Fish shaped crackers are a popular treat for children, but I did not like giving them too often to my children because of all the “stuff” in them. So we found a recipe for easy cheese crackers to make instead. Often we cut these into animal shapes, but they never last as long as when they are cut into squares. The squares never last very long either, but they are a lot faster to replace.

Use your favorite cheddar cheese, we prefer x-sharp. Roll the dough thin because it will puff up. If you prefer spicy, add more spices, and feel free to bake just a little longer than required, because brown, toasty ones are extra good.

Chili Powder

I do not remember where we got this recipe, but we use it often.  Feel free to replace some of the cayenne pepper with ground chipotle peppers if you would like.
