    Dinners on preschool days are fraught with angst and stress. Why? Because overtired mini kidgredients refuse the foods they normally love and become zombie-like at the table. Everything is harder when you're tired...and this is definitely true for Miss 4 after 3 days of preschool.

    However, this recipe surprised me! They ate it (cue little happy dance in the pantry)...they complimented it (cue disbelief) and they want it again (cue internal squealing for joy). I've protested before my lack of love for chicken drumsticks. But, I like them with flavour. I've had a few personal messages on my facebook page requesting budget friendly recipes. This is definitely budget friendly!

    Now, these flavours are reminiscent of a tropical island...so as your kids are sitting down and enjoying them, just imagine you're eating yours on a tropical island and they were delivered by a waiter. Trust me all food tastes better when there is a fantasy involved.

    Even without the fantasty (see what I did there?)  these are awesome, there were none left at the end of the evening, which stands testament to these being a great flavour combination for kiddies. What's not to like? You've got sweet, crunchy and tasty!
