Tricking my kids with fun "chicken" nuggets

It is not a secret, my kids HATE vegetables! They can smell out the tiniest bit of purred or chopped spinach, broccoli and carrots. Ella loves to eat chicken noodle soup (only if I remove all of the carrots and parsley floating in it first!
So I was amazed myself that they both loved these new veggie nuggets I found at Wholefoods. They look like chicken nuggets and have cheese inside to cover up the veggie taste! They LOVE, LOVE LOVE these "fun nuggets" as we call them. Additionally I ad lettuce and seared carrots and rotisserie chicken with home made pan fried potatoes to their plate... and guess what a with a little ketchup and light ranch they even ate the potatoes and rotisserie chicken without thinking about it twice...

I pre cooked the potatoes in salt water (keep them in the fridge for whenever you need them), I pan seared/fried the potatoes in olive oil with a little salt and pepper. The baby carrots i just boil in salt water and the chicken is actually a rotisserie chicken prepared at wholefoods. Dinner can be ready in 15 min and it was a hit... too funny!
