Children can be picky eaters. Sometimes it’s difficult to feed them when they are so picky. They have their favorites like chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese and they will have stages in which they may not want to eat anything else. Finding healthy alternatives to their favorites is essential for them to Eat Nourishing foods. Many children’s favorites are heavily processed foods. These foods are more of a combination of chemicals and additives than they are real foods. What exactly is the coating of chicken nuggets from fast food restaurants made of? Surely that cannot be healthy, especially not for children. Take a look at the meat in a chicken nugget and it hardly resembles chicken meat at all. Not only are the chickens cooped up in cages but they are fed hormones and chemicals. During the processing of chicken meat in the food industry many chemicals are added and the composition of the meat is altered which removes the healthy nutrients. The good news is there are delicious, healthy alternatives to processed chicken nuggets.
One Real Food Recipes is for Asian inspired grain-free chicken nuggets. You will need six cups of pasture raised chicken meat. Process the meat with three cups of shredded zucchini, six green onions, one bunch of cilantro, a two inch piece of ginger that has been grated, one teaspoon of garlic powder and two teaspoons of real salt. The consistency you will want to achieve is that of canned tuna. Place in a large bowl and pour in six lightly beaten eggs and about one cup of arrowroot flour and combine well using your hands. Form the mixture into nuggets and freeze. When ready to cook, back the nuggets on a lined cookie sheet for about a half an hour at 375 degrees. Your children will love these nuggets.
I love a great buttercream frosting that can be used in a variety of different ways. For example, I typically make birthday cakes or cupcakes for special occasions and each event usually calls for a unique decoration or theme. Creating a wide range of decorative touches using buttercream icing is simple when you use a few drops of food coloring or some purchased edible decorations.
It’s no surprise that kids and adults alike enjoy a nice piece of cake, but the decorations and frosting are often what brings the oohs and aahs. You can be sure that you will get a lot of complements when you use a deliciously creamy buttercream frosting made from the highest quality ingredients.
It is important to remember that something like buttercream frosting will get its great taste directly from the freshness and quality of the butter and flavorings you use. If you choose a low-quality or old butter, you certainly can not expect a great tasting frosting.
