Being a mother to the world’s pickiest eater, each day is a struggle making sure my son is receiving proper nutrition. For this very reason, I try my best to create well-balanced and appetizing meals; after all, I want my son to enjoy his food while staying healthy. One of my son’s favorite meals includes chicken nuggets. Because I don’t want to fill his belly with processed foods, I’ve found a great alternative – Easy Homemade Baked Chicken Nuggets. Made with just 3 ingredients, you’ll love these tasty nuggets just as much as your kids.
