Kid Friendly Meals (2 Snacks & Monkey Cupcakes)

We've had some yummy kid friendly meals here that have been a huge hit! Hope your all having a wonderful Tuesday! I worked out for my 2nd day at the new gym, keep the positive thoughts and prayers coming my way I'll need them :).
First on our list was some YUMMY Cheesy Potato Skins on the Disney Family Fun site.

Next on my list was a YUMMY Baked chicken nuggets homemade style!

And we were scheduled to have friends come over but they had to reschedule so Cole's class got a extra special treat in the form of Monkey Cupcakes! I started with the Best Chocolate Cake and then made the Monkey Cupcakes.

    The cupcakes are too cute. I've decided to make cupcakes again this year for Zoe's Dora themed party, can't wait to see how they turn out.

    Those are so much fun and sound really yummy too! I am definately going to make those potatoe skins.
    Also I think more moms need to make homemade chicken nuggets for their kids.

    OMG, those potatoes look AWESOME! I know that Bill would adore them as much as I would, I'd probably put bacon in them, too.
    The cupcakes are just too cute! I know that your boys just loved them to pieces, I didn't even need to see the photos.
    Thanks SO much for linking up with our meme, you know how much that means to me, we need all the help we can get. YOU ROCK!!
