Santa is on his way.

There’s something about Christmas and the spirit of Santa, and yea, the presents, that can make even the most mature adult into a 4 year-old in footie pajamas.

So, feeling like a kid, we decided to eat like kids.

With chicken fingers! I really wanted the dino shaped ones, but the store was out of them. So we made do with regular old nuggs and then made some awesomely kid-like sides – green bean fries and sweet potato fries! That’s right – two kinds of fries. But they’re made from healthy vegetables and baked so this is a good for you dinner.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Lay out green beans (fresh or thaw some frozen ones) on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and black pepper and bake for about 15 minutes.

Get those jammies on and put the utensils away. This is a finger food, waiting for Santa, watching Christmas Story kind of night,
