Chicken Leg
So as Jack's little palate matures, he has taken to a new dinner item. Chicken legs! He loves them roasted or on the grill. He will gnaw away on a chicken leg until there is nothing but bone. Makes for an easy and relatively healthy meal. If grilling outside, I throw corn on the cob on the grill. Same reaction - he just gnaws away at it. His eyes light up each time a corn kernel explodes in his mouth. Super easy! And in a pinch, the kid's meal at Boston Market also offers a roasted chicken leg with a vegetable and cornbread. Or ask them to give you a second veggie in place of the cornbread - they do it for Jack and I all the time. Another last minute idea for chicken legs - the kid's meal at Kentucky Fried Chicken. I know you are thinking "no way" but you can get the grilled chicken leg as your meat. The meal comes with a veggie (we did green beans), a string cheese & a drink. I keep asking them to offer milk, so if you stop by do the same! The meal comes in a cute little "laptop" box, which kept Jack's attention all through dinner. And the grilled chicken leg at KFC has just 4 grams total fat, 1 gram saturated and zero transfats!
