Re: re:GF chicken nuggets..SUCCESS!!! Thanks!

December 28, 2002

We have SUCCESS!! , my DS, ate 5 chicken nuggets this

evening!! The first meat he has had in over 4 months. We had to copy

the " Tyson Popcorn Bites " in order for him to eat. The nuggets HAD to

look and taste like them. The successful recipe...

Equal parts of White Rice, Soy & Potato Flour

3 TBS Flaxseed Meal

3 TBS Corn Meal

3 TBS Salt

3 TBS Sugar

Pepper (enough to make spicy)

Celery Salt

Garlic Salt

Fajita Seasoning (Fiesta brand)

Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning (McCormick brand)

I dipped chicken pieces in egg and then the above mixture & then

repeated once more. I then fried the chicken nuggets in veg oil (will

probably try other oils later).

Tricky part...we use to microwave his Tyson nuggets (this made the

breading softer)...I let the chicken cool and then sprayed them with

water. Then sprinkled them with a mixture of salt, pepper & celery

salt (these were the dominant tastes of the original nuggets). Then

into the micro for a minute and out to cool.

Then into my baby's mouth!! :-) What a Christmas gift to me! I now

feel that my child is actually eating something! I have all of you to

thank for all of your wonderful advice. Thank you so much!!

BTW..During the testing process we had to decide whether he was

refusing the test nuggets due to tactile or texture reasons...the

original nuggets were not sprayed & microwaved, I just fried them and

offered. They were refused. So, we decided to give him one small

Tyson nugget to see if he would even still eat meat...sure enough!!

Totally amazing...he kept coming back for more (I didn't give him any

though). My husband came up with the idea to spray them and nuke

them...Success!!! However, now I have a wild and crazy man on my

hands!! We are taking an epsom bath and doing some craniosacral

therapy to help him come down. It's really sad to see him so out of

control again...we have come so far...Thank God and all of you!!
