Chicken and Cheerios!

Finally, some of the healthy eating talk in our house is starting to come to fruition!  We will continue on our quest for a healthier and Re-Fab-u-lous lifestyle, and I will pass on those recipes that we have found to work here.

In our quest to eat healthier, we have tested and tried, over and over, this awesome baked chicken nuggets recipe.  All ages love this, and you can substitute any flavor of Cheerios.  My son actually asks for it! 

Just wanted to share, hope you enjoy as much as we do.....
