Picky eaters…can they be inspired to eat and ENJOY it?? Sure they can…and here’s how:
In our house…the boys LOVE Tyson Chicken Nuggets. Well, let’s start with that. I made a quick shopping trip to Walmart to purchase the nuggets as well as a few other things I think we’ll need to start the fun! (You can see my shopping trip HERE)
I KNOW that they’ll eat the nuggets…but, how can I get them to try a dipping sauce and a fruit….or, dare I say, a vegetable?
You HAVE to make the food FUN! Now that springtime is upon us, let’s use that as inspiration to create some fun “platescapes” for the kids to not only enjoy with their eyes…but, with their tummies too!
Go ahead and cook your nuggets and pull out different condiments and dipping sauces to work with.
I started with Ranch dressing…and added food coloring! (yes..I just used a little and swirled it around to get my desired color)
Not only did I use food coloring…but, I also used Kool-aid (yep…the dry package). Just pour a little in the Ranch (or whatever dipping sauce you’re working with). You will have a taste of “orange” or “lime”…but, I think that just makes it a LOT more fun for the kids! (especially, if you add their favorite flavors).
Now…just start creating! Here’s what I was able to create to INSPIRE MY PICKY EATERS!
To create this flower, you’ll need:
- Tyson Chicken Nuggets
- cheese stick
- lettuce
- ranch (colored to make the dots on the nuggets)
- strawberries
To create this butterfly, you’ll need:
- Tyson Chicken Nuggets
- banana
- strawberries (cut small for the eyes, mouth, and antennae)
- ranch (colored for the dots on the wings)
To create this bowl of fish, you’ll need the following:
- Tyson Chicken Nuggets
- Ranch (colored in blue for the water and to decorate the fish)

I think you made this post for my kids. I can’t wait to try this idea on them. Tomorrow we are making a Wal Mart run for some Tyson chicken nuggets.
Thanks! I bet they’ll love it!
Hey, what a beautiful and exciting way to eat Tyson chicken nuggets. You are SO creative! Just a tiny side note, I found out this year that Ranch dressing has MSG in it. I recently was shocked when I heard this, and promptly stopped feeding it to my little ones. Just in case you feel the same way about MSG in your foods.
Those plates of Tyson nuggets look delicious and I may try some of that myself. I am a kid at heart, and I love to play with my food!
Lana…Thanks! I don’t deny eating nuggets along with the kids…oh, so good!
