Cute Cakes In A Cup

In case you didn't know cupcakes are my favorite. Always have been. I remember as a little girl getting excited when a class-mate would bring them in for birthday parties! So now that I'm all grown they are one of my favorite things to make, and now that I have my own little babes I have a bajillion reasons to make them!! Hehe. Here are a couple photos of some I made for others.

My Take At A Healthy Nugget

My kids, like most, love chicken nuggets. I wanted to test a healthier way to make them, but when you're in a hurry sometimes it's hard to do. Yesterday I took some things that we already had in the pantry and tried these. They turned out pretty good & the best part was that the kids loved them!!! This is my off the top of my head recipe~

1 large can white chicken breast chunks

1 egg

1/4 cup bread crumbs

All purpose seasoning added to your taste

Oat/Bran Flour or any Whole Grain Flour for coating(I added some seasoning to flour also)

Extra Virgin Olive Oil to coat frying pan

Mash/shred chicken in a bowl with fork. Mix in egg, bread crumbs, & seasoning. Shape small amounts of mixture into nugget like shapes and coat them in flour. Cook in olive oil coated pan over medium/high heat until golden brown on both sides.

Todd & I both thought they were pretty yummy too! They would be better if you boiled chicken tenderloins & then shredded the cooked meat in a food processor. To make them even more healthy you could add some cauliflower puree to the mixture. The kids would never know it!!
