We have been watching Jaime Oliver's Food Revolution on Friday nights. On the second episode when he showed how to make chicken nuggets I was so totally and utterly grossed out I thought my family and I would never eat another chicken nugget again.
Not eating chicken nuggets is a huge deal for us because Gabe eats very few things. Basically he eats chicken nuggets, french fries, cheese and crackers, grilled cheese, macaroni and cheese, waffles or cereal for every meal. We can get a few fruits and couple of vegetables in, but that is it.
We make him try one or two bites of what we are eating at every meal, but it's a big ordeal and he ends up gagging and spitting the food in the garbage. Then we make him something from the above list.
Since chicken nuggets are the only meat Gabe will eat I was thinking I should try and make my own. I searched the internet and found a recipe at For the Love of Food and made them last night.
I'm happy to report they were a huge hit. They were pretty easy to make. I wasn't real crazy about putting the chicken in the food processor, but that is the texture that Gabe likes and at least I know it is real chicken.

They look yummy. You'll have to show me how to do all this type of stuff when I am a mommy some day :)
Good for you for experimenting. That whole thing grossed me right out too.
