Real Veggie Nuggets
Occasionally, I make promises to people and it’s not that I intend to break them, it just takes me a while to get around to it.
One problem: Benton’s wife is a vegetarian. Rather than spend $10 on silly fake chicken nuggets, I thought I would try my hand at making some homemade veggie nuggets with some fresh colorful veggies!
