April Fools! I had planned these Faux Chicken Nuggets and fries for dinner tonight, but since we had an unexpected snow day I had to make it on the sly and serve it for lunch instead.
I got the nugget idea from the Taste of Home website but I just cut my poundcake out and dipped mine in warmed up honey and then graham cracker crumbs since my son is allergic to nuts.
The fries are made from canned breadstick dough. I rolled it out a bit and then cut it into sticks. Bake according to the package directions. Seedless strawberry jam became the ketchup.
I just love his reaction! Does anyone else pull pranks on their kids on April Fools?
