Witch Finger Halloween Snacks (for all your party needs)

Halloween Classroom Healthy Snacks

Ok, It's almost halloween again and I really just LOVED this post, so I wanted to share it with you all again!  They were super fun to make and really didn't take all that long.  I'm totally going to make them again for class treats this year!  So, without further ado, here they are!
  

It is finally halloween!  Are we ready for this?  NO!  But it is here anyway, what are you going to do, right?  

So Charly is having a pumpkin carving party at school but it was requested that we not bring sweet snacks.  After some searching and experimenting I finally came up with these little witch fingers to bring for the kiddo's.  I thought they turned out pretty stinkin' cute and just incase you need ideas too, here they are.


Healthy Halloween Witch Fingers

Here is what you will need:

string cheese (I wanted to make about 20 so I needed 10 cheese sticks)
a paring knife
some sparkle gel frosting
a clean paint brush











Now take your cheese sticks and cut them in half...








ok, time to start cutting in your knuckles.  

I promise, this really takes less time than you think.  I had 20 fingers done in less than 10 minutes.  








Next slice a small portion off the top where you want the fingernail to be.  

















And finally it is time to start painting them. Place a small amount of gel in the fingernail space and paint it on where you want.  















 And done, see, I think the kids in class are going to get a kick out of them.  And they are healthy.  You don't have to feel bad about what you are feeding them in the middle of the day.  They are going to get plenty of candy, like they really need it in the middle of the day too!


And there you have it.  They really are not all that time consuming and turned out super cute!  And once again, your little one will thing you are awesome, amazing, Super Mom!

Cheesy Chicken Nuggets for the Kids

Homemade  Chicken Nuggets


I have to say, these are the best chicken nuggets I have made so far.  The kids loved them, they were nice and crunchy (not soggy like other recipes I have tried), and fairly healthy too!  


Don't they look fabulous?  Oh man, I was so excited about these i just had to share them with you.  


And they really were so simple...

All you are going to need is:

*2 chicken breast cut into about 1 in chunks
*1 cup of panko mixed with seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder)
*1 cup of shredded cheese
*2 eggs beaten


Cut the chicken into your chunks
dip the chicken  into the egg, then the cheese, then the pank.  
Onto a cookie sheet and into the oven at 350˚ for 20-25 minutes




And like I said, the kids loved them.  I'm pretty sure they will be a weekly staple in our house for a while.  Like spaghtti and meatballs, something easy that the kids will eat without a fight.  (Makes my life infinatly easier.)  One less fight a day makes this mommy jump for joy.
