Gluten and Casein Free Diet

My boring blog! My son is starting on the gfcf diet. I want to log all the foods and see if his behavior changes. Anyone who catches me feeding him stuff he shouldn't have or who has advice, feel free to comment.

Easy Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets

I've tried all the gluten-free flours, or most of them, on chicken nuggets.

The bottom line is ewwwwww. They're just not the same.

But if I take 3/4 cup cornmeal plus 1/4 GF tortilla crumbs, and then add my seasonings, I get a very nice coating.

The seasonings I like are onion powder and paprika, maybe some garlic salt.

I also really like Pappy's brand seasoning. I'm pretty sure they are gluten-free, but haven't called the company yet.

I cut up my boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I dip them in egg, then roll them in the coating.

There are two different ways I cook them.

One is in a pan with some melted shortening and Nucoa brand margarine. I don't put in enough oil to completely cover. I flip them partway through.

The other way is in a 350 degree oven. I melt some Nucoa in the pan and flip them halfway through.

Either way is good and everyone likes them. Finally, I have a recipe for the whole family.
