Healthy Chicken Nuggets

There is a really cute food blog called Weelicious that I have just found (thanks to pinterest!) that had some tasty nuggets so I thought I would share as I did try them and they were Delicious. They are baked and also made with oatmeal among other things so very healthy as well. The only thing that I noticed that you should do is broil them on both sides to make them crispy which she says you can do but I think is kind of a must or they are a little soggy.

Feta and Spinach Turkey Burgers and Sweet Potato Fries

Hi I just wanted to share quickly what we had last night it was the best combination of flavors and tastes that I have had in a long time.
Both came from alrecipes
Spinach and Feta Turkey Burgers

Chicken and Guacamole Tostados

This was fairly quick to make. The side I served with this was orange slices so a pretty easy dinner. I loved all the flavors and it has a real traditional Mexican taste even though real Mexicans would probably scoff at using boxed tostado shells! It came from Cooking Light, August 2010, p141.

"1 ripe peeled avocado
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons finely chopped tomato, divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh onion, divided
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 small garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon minced seeded jalapeño pepper
2 cups shredded skinless, boneless rotisserie chicken breast
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 (6-inch) corn tostada shells
Preparation
1. Place avocado in a small bowl; mash with a fork. Stir in 2 tablespoons tomato, 1 tablespoon onion, 1 tablespoon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and garlic.

2. Combine remaining 1 cup tomato, 2 tablespoons onion, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, cilantro, and jalapeño; toss well.

3. Combine chicken, remaining 1 tablespoon juice, and paprika; toss well to combine. Spread about 1 tablespoon guacamole over each tostada shell; top each with 1/4 cup chicken mixture and about 2 tablespoons salsa."
