Corn Nugget

The recipe seemed easy enough:

 Mix a can of corn and a can of creamed corn

Scoop into rounds and freeze

Dip frozen rounds in batter

Fry

Enjoy corn nuggets at home instead of in our default restaurant.

I thought it was SO simple, I could imporvise a little. I tossed in some red pepper flakes and shredded cheddar. I think the cheddar would be my recipe's undoing in the end. 

Dipping nuggets in batter. A thicker batter may have made a difference: 

Things started out well: 

Promising looking nuggets: 

A combination of thawing and cheese strands extending past the "batter barrier" led many nuggets to spread... our overall result was something like Scrambled Corn Nugget Fritters...

~*~

Here are the things she will sometimes eat:

Raisins

Yogurt (preferably with rainbow sprinkles) 

Pizza Crust

French Fries

Bananas

Dry Cereal (preferably with rainbow marshmallows) 

 ~Notice the sugar trend? 

We are working on it, and until something catches on, we're getting creative ;)

 Food fun we've recently had: 

FryPop

She only ate the ketchup.

Ketchup Cat

Meant to encourage fry consumption, she asked for a bigger cat. 

MinnieMouse Cream

I realize that the below picture is of ice cream, but it had been a milk only day, despite the Jell-o and bananas we offered from the buffet @ Ichiban. I was aiming at a few more calories by this point. 

She watched the mouse melt as she finished off her milk.
