One of my little picky eater’s favorites are chicken nuggets – and even sometimes that’s a fight to get him to choke one down. The best way to get him to be interested in his dinner plate is to make it fun, and that’s exactly what I’ve done with Tyson Chicken Nuggets I recently purchased from Walmart.

These are always as fun for me to make as they are for him to eat – I do this type of stuff more often than I’d like to admit! I love preparing fun foods for him, that I even have a full set of small cookie cutters that are suited for making bento box style lunches. In this case, I used the flower cutter to punch out some flowers out of the nuggets, and some clouds made from cheese.

I even went as far as dying some ranch dip with a little food coloring, so I could use it as paint! I know – I get a little carried away sometimes, but JP loved the end result! :)

So what did I come up with? I decided to keep it simple with a simple springtime scene. Those smiley faces made a perfect sun! I covered all the favorites – chicken nuggets, ranch, ketchup and cheese.. ohh and pickles too.

I loved how excited he was when I told him I made him a special lunch. He couldn’t wait to dig in and try it all!

This weekend, We had the privilege of trying the new Tyson Crispy Bites chicken. I was so impressed with how tasty our dinner turned out, despite its simplicity. I made my favorite quick rosemary potatoes with them, and they made a wholesome, quick dinner I felt good about feeding my family. Sam’s club is a great place to go shopping at when you’re buying bulk items for the family. We have a large freezer chest in our garage, so it makes it nice to be able to store frozen items.

One of the things I loved about serving this meal, is not only how quick and simple it was to prepare, but the fact that it was real, plump chicken chunks is what sold it for me. They are my family’s new favorite! These all-natural bite-sized chicken pieces are lightly breaded and pressure cooked in peanut oil – which is what makes it so incredibly deelish! It also packs some good nutrition with 16g of protein per serving. It’s a great value for the price!

Homemade cheesy parmesan breadsticks using Kraft Fresh Takes

Making Breadsticks with Kraft Fresh Takes - #FreshTake #cbias http://www.behindthestudio.com

I like pizza, but I love breadsticks, so I’ve come up with an easy, homemade way to make them using the new Kraft Fresh Take and plain pizza dough. I’ve used the Kraft Fresh Take alot for it’s traditional use – like breading chicken, pork or fish. It makes for a really yummy and easy dinner because each package is so well packed with a cheesy blend of flavor and breadcrumbs. I love how easy it  is to use, and the  mess is contained with the plastic bag that’s included.

Its great to use as a substitute for a ‘filler’ ingredient for meatballs or a traditional homemade mac and cheese topping – but I’m getting ahead of myself… Today I’ve made Breadsticks with the Parmesan Cheese flavor that I purchased the other day. Luckily for me, I was able to get the very last ‘Italian Parmesan’ flavor that I needed. Clearly, it’s a favorite at my local Walmart!

It’s so simple to make – I started with plain pizza dough, just like the kind I use to make pizza, pressed out and ready to bake on a cookie sheet. I brushed the surface with a little olive oil, and popped it into a preheated oven at 450 F and cooked it for about 2 minutes.

Once my dough was was solid, I spread on the cheese and breadcrumb mix and baked it for about 8 minutes at 450F or until golden.

After cutting it up into pieces with my pizza cutter, I enjoyed it with a side of pre-prepared pizza sauce. It was sooo yummy!!
