There’s something so special about reconnecting with your favorite childhood, nostalgic foods as an adult. They may be Jell-O pudding cups, which bring back memories of bagged lunches enjoyed in the school cafeteria just moments before recess, or Chef Boyardee lasagna, a classic canned dinner on weeknights that’s more efficient than the real thing. Maybe it’s homemade peanut butter and jelly sandwiches made on pillowy Wonder Bread, with the crusts cut off. Or perhaps, bowls upon bowls of creamy, cheesy and silky-smooth Velveeta Mac and Cheese.
For me, my favorite kid-friendly nibble lives in the frozen aisle: dinosaur-shaped nuggets. Simple, playful and deliciously processed, the breaded chicken nuggets can be found in abundance inside my kitchen freezer.
