Broccoli Cheddar Nuggets

I have made a vow not to serve Jacob chicken nuggets, ever.  No processed miscellaneous chicken meat will ever enter our kitchen.  I found this recipe from wholesomebabyfood.com and knew I wanted to try it as a nugget alternative.  These were amazing, simply amazing.  Jake gobbled them up, and Jason and I did too.

I put the leftovers in the freezer to take out for lunches or dinner.

Hope you enjoy them ... we did!
