I have a confession to make though. As I was making it, I was also instructing the Natural New Age Girl on how to make kale chips. Soooo, I sort of got distracted, stuffed up the recipe and got it all back to front! No matter - it still tasted amazing. So this is my version and if you want Vanessa’s original version,...

Okay, so this is what you need: 500g organic or free range chicken, cut into strips 1/2 cup buttermilk (use homemade mayo if you are dairy-free) 1/2 cup of organic quinoa flakes 1/2 cup of dukkah (purchase...

They contain so many artificial ingredients, chemicals and questionable bits of the chicken! Nuggets are such a favourite with kids and a quick, easy standby for mums. BUT, in less than half an hour, you can prepare your own at home, with quality ingredients! I would encourage everyone to just say NO to nuggets and try some of my yummy ideas instead.
