What's for lunch?

What time is it when you child first asks this question? I know I start thinking about lunch right after I notice my coffee cup is empty.

Whether you have toddlers or teens, are home-schooling, or home for the day, at some point you are thinking about what to make for lunch. 

Tired of the pb&j, left-overs, mac & cheese? Want to make something warm and satisfying?

How about home-made veggie nuggets? Looks and feels like a chicken nugget but filled with veggie goodness and you are in control of the ingredients as well as the cooking.

Here's what you need:

Ingredients:

• ½ cup each boiled or steamed tender carrots, broccoli,       cauliflower - cooled
• ¼ cup of breadcrumbs for filling, extra for dipping formed nuggets in before cooking
• 1 large egg
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat Air Fryer to 400 F.
2. Combine vegetables, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
3. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out veggie mixture into a ball then flatten into a nugget shape.
4. Coat nugget with additional breadcrumbs.

After lunch, head outside for recess and some fun. Grab some sidewalk chalk, bubbles, old containers for mud pies, or maybe it's kite season. Just get out there! Make some memories and have some laughs to help round out the feeling of being Fed Well!
