There’s a reason why chicken nuggets are so popular: easy to eat, fun to dip and quick for parents to heat up in the microwave. But if your mealtimes are starting to suffer from a case of Groundhog Day, it might be time to expand your (and your kiddo’s!) horizons. Perfect for finger-food-eating babies, these 7 nuggets are all easy to make and pack quite the nutritional punch. Chances are your little one will love them too since they’re easy to hold and fun to dip in a variety of sauces.

Mac n' Cheese Nuggets

Macaroni and cheese is always a hit with little ones, and for a new take on an old favorite, Oh Joy whipped up cleverly shaped nuggets. She used a gingerbread cookie cutter, but any fun shape will do (for extra credit, use alphabet cookie cutters to spell out your little one's name) . Add a veggie puree to the cheese sauce (try cauliflower, carrot, or yellow squash) to sneak in an extra serving of vegetables.
