Yogurt Dipped Blueberries

These are SO easy to make and are nice for kids lunches (since they are kept frozen, they are perfect by lunch time) or just for a nice, quick protein snack.
















All you need is 1 container of greek yogurt (It doesn't have to be blueberry, it just so happens this is the only flavor I had left in my fridge) and 1 container of blueberries.

 
















Then use a toothpick to stab the blueberry and dip in the yogurt

Put tray into the freezer for about an hour.

Remove frozen blueberries and devide into snack bags and return the the freezer.



Cornmeal-Crusted Chicken Nuggets with Blackberry Mustard

I found this recipe on eatingwell.com and I just had to try it.  I have my own version of chicken nuggets that I made for Mya a while back and these looked too good to pass up.  Plus, I was intreged by the Blackberry Mustard.  Here is my opinion about the meal.  I really, really enjoyed it.  Adam liked it better than I did, however, he is a blackberry fan and I am not.  Blackberries are just too sour for me.  The recipe says that you can do it with raspberries and I think next time I'm going to do that and I know I will be absolutely in love.  For the first time ever making it I just wanted to follow the recipe exactly.  It's a different way to eat chicken nuggets and I will definitely be making it again :)

Ingredients

• 1 cup fresh blackberries or raspberries, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 pound chicken tenders, cut in half crosswise (see Tip)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 3 tablespoons cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

 

Preparation

1. Mash blackberries (or raspberries), mustard and honey in a small bowl until it looks like a chunky sauce.
2. Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Place cornmeal in a medium bowl, add the chicken and toss to coat (discard any leftover cornmeal).
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook the chicken, turning once or twice, until browned and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes total (thinner nuggets will cook faster than thicker ones). Serve the chicken nuggets with the berry mustard.

Tips & Notes

• Chicken tenders are the lean strips of rib meat typically found attached to the underside of chicken breasts. They can also be purchased separately. Four 1-ounce tenders will yield a 3-ounce cooked portion. Tenders are perfect for quick stir-fries, chicken satay or kid-friendly breaded “chicken nuggets.”

Healthy Chicken Nuggets

1lb ground chicken
1 bag frozen broccoli/cauliflower
1 cup shredded cheese...
1 egg

Thaw frozen veggies and chop into small pieces. Mix with chicken meat, egg, and shredded cheese. Season with garlic and onion salt/powder (I used minced onions in mine). Mix well with hands and roll into a ball. Dip the ball in some milk and coat with crushed corn flakes. The ones I made for Mya, I coated with 1/2 corn flakes and 1/2 shake n bake for some flavor. Cook what you want right away and freeze what you don't

Unfrozen- bake at 425 for 12 min. Check and keep baking if needed               

Frozen- bake at 425 for 25 min

The frozen ones will bake crispy just like chicken nuggets. Mya gobbles hers up... With some ranch of course! Great kids meal and I have had 4 with a salad for dinner one night and loved them Enjoy!!!
