This is the last week for the, kid friendly food blog hop,<\/i> already and has been so much fun and have been able to meet so many new friends! I have a great week of kid-tested and approved meals this week that I know your family will love. <\/span><\/p>\n

First up to kick-off the week is the chicken strip. Children love chicken strips; at least mine sure do! These are out-of-this world, easy, and my kids gobbled them up. I made them this for lunch with some grapes, chips, some ranch<\/a> for dipping and a chocolate chunk cookie bite<\/a>.<\/span> *Yes, I made, Best Mom in the World<\/i>, award that day!* <\/span><\/p>\n
If making this for dinner, a side salad just makes it and spruces it up for your husband. My favorite salad is one with a spring mix. I just love those tender leafy greens, and I top it with some blue cheese crumbles and a light vinaigrette. As us moms all know, kids don’t get into those fancy salads so I always cut some romaine, more nutrients than iceberg lettuce, and add cucumbers for them. My kids love my simple vinegar and oil dressing, but add your family’s favorite. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Perfect for dinner!<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Easy, delicious, and kids and adults go crazy. Plan to save the left overs to top your salad for a crispy touch to your lunch the next day. Yum!<\/span><\/p>\n

Printable Recipe<\/span><\/a>
Ingredients:<\/span>
1 package chicken breasts, cut into strips<\/span>
buttermilk<\/span>
1-1\/2 cups flour<\/span>
2 tsp. seasonings of your choice. I used my Emeril seasoning that has some paprika, garlic and chile powders<\/span>
vegetable oil<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
Directions:<\/span>
Start by rinsing and drying your chicken strips. Next, in a bowl submerge the chicken strips in buttermilk for 15-20 minutes (or longer).<\/span><\/p>\n

In another bowl combine about 1 1\/2 cups flour and 2-3 tsp. of your seasoning. Mix this together will. Next, add about 1\/4 to 1\/2 cup of buttermilk into the flour mixture and stir lightly with a fork as you add it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat about 1 inch of the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low to medium heat. <\/span>
<\/span>
Remove a few of the buttermilk-soaked strips and place them in the flour mixture, turning them over to coat them thoroughly<\/span>. Place them on a plate. Continue coating chicken strips until they are all ready to cook.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the oil is sufficiently heated, begin cooking the strips a few strips a few at a time. Cook them for about a minute and a half or so on each side. When golden and crispy, remove them to a paper towel-lined plate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Secret Winning Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/span><\/div>\n

What about dessert? Yes, the cookie bites that I shared above are amazing, too, but I had to share this one…it’s too good. This perfect cookie is the most delicious chocolate chip cookie in the world. Check it out…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span> <\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
 I am a big cookie fan and I had to give this one a try since the secret to its deliciousness is its use of bread flour and whole wheat pastry as its flours of choice. One word describes them: AMAZING! I love the heartiness that the pastry flour imparts, and your children won’t even notice a difference. I’ve made these with white whole wheat flour, too, and comes out without much difference. You must give these a try and *this is really important!* use the best chocolate you can get your hands on<\/i><\/b>; I personally love Guittard chocolate. <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Enjoy my friends!<\/span><\/div>\n
