Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets Recipe – healthier option for a kid-friendly dinner! Easy homemade chicken nuggets, breaded and baked in an air fryer.

If your plan for the new year is to eat healthier or find ways to make your favorite dishes lighter, I have a recipe just for you. Chicken nuggets baked to perfection in the air fryer is my new favorite way to make them! Fresh chicken breast, cut into nuggets, seasoned, dipped in melted butter and then in breadcrumbs and baked for 9 minutes in the air fryer without any oil is bound to be a hit with kids and adults!

This healthier Air Fryer Chicken Nuggets option is great to make ahead too! Simply make a double batch and freeze half once completely cooled. Then use as you would with store-bought nuggets. So easy!

Lightened Up Chili Cheese Fries – this reinvented version of chili fries is incredibly easy to make and better for you than the original! Also, check out our lighter versions of dinner classics that everyone will love!

I know what you are thinking. How can such cheesy dish be called “lightened up”? Right? Thanks to Alexia’s All-Natural Oven Fries, our homemade turkey chili and shredded cheese sprinkled on top. We are skipping fat-loaded deep fat-fried potatoes, beefy chili and the cheese sauce,yet, this dish is still delicious and satisfying. And that’s what today’s post is all about: lighter choices in our favorite meals!

When Alexia Foods asked us to create five balanced meals that would be great for week days, we jumped on it! We love Alexia’s fries for two reasons: they are all natural and they deliver in size and taste. I’ve never seen such perfect onion rings or waffle fries from a package, bought in a freezer section in our store. They are huge and bake up to a crispy perfection! Every.single.time.

Whole Wheat Yogurt Banana Bread with Cinnamon

Whole Wheat Yogurt Banana Bread with Cinnamon – healthier version of your favorite quick bread! This banana bread is so good, it will be devoured quickly! Great way to use those overripe bananas!

I can’t go to a grocery store without buying bananas. My kids love them, especially our 3-year-old son. He asks for a banana at least once a day! 🙂 That means it’s not that easy for me to save some for my baking projects. During our last grocery shopping, I made sure to get some extra so I could finally make this bread for the blog.

This may look like a plain banana bread but let me tell you, there is nothing plain about it! It’s a healthier version of the most popular quick bread. It’s made with whole wheat flour and plain yogurt! I love making healthier versions of our favorite food! Especially when there is no sacrifice in flavor and texture.
