Thanks for the reminder. I think I can accomplish a good chicken nugget using 4-5 ingredients. And it will be so much tastier!

I remember when I was nursing and Judah was lactose intolerant. I had to be SO careful with what I ate. I got quite an education about ingrediants at that time. haha!!

Anything with more than 6 ingrediants (that you can identify!!) should be immediately tossed to the side. :)
