My favorite gluten free chicken nugget is fools gold from Eat Like a Dinosaur :yum
Have you tried it - it uses almond flour or meal :yum It is drenched in oil, rolled in almond meal w/spices and then baked but is oily like fried chicken :yum Now I want some :giggle |
Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Sadly I don't have that cookbook. Sounds interesting!

My favorite chicken nugget recipe is ground chicken that is rolled into balls, dipped in a mixture of almond flour and coconut and seasonings, flattened (gives it that typical misshapen form) and the pan Fried in coconut oil. Yum yum.

(C&P'ed from my blog)
If I needed confirmation that my body does better eating less carbs (grains in particular), I certainly got it yesterday! I ate a (whole grain, lots of fat) high carb lunch, and oh man, did I pay for it! I had terrible brain fog. A stomachache. My gallbladder protested a bit (no real pain, but definite twinges). Ugh! Not doing that again :p |

I've been meaning to come back to this thread. Sorry if I'm a Debbie Downer.
About a month or so ago we tried to do the Whole 30 again. I got so stressed with the added constraints of DH's allergies that I was getting burnt out and we we're not eating enough. I just could not think or figure out what to make. So I just threw my hands up and made spaghetti. We've , well really *I*, have fallen off the wagon (dh is just on it 'cause I'm there). We've had spaghetti, white potatoes and rice and some cookies from TJ's. I don't know what to do. On one hand I feel like we need to eat, on the other hand I have no energy to eat the way I want to and I feel guilty about it. This week DH has stepped up and on his own came up with meals for 4 days this week:heart. I really appreciate it but on the inside I'm cringing just a little. Sugar in the pulled chicken, sugar in the Udis buns, sugar in the coleslaw (it's confirmed that I don't like coleslaw, even if dh makes it), sugar in the cookies I ate afterwards. I'm not complaining though, I'm just happy for his help. WRT brain fog, I feel like that is what is holding me back. On Paleo my brain fog was gone. But I need a relatively clear mind to plan Paleo meals. It feels like a circular problem. /rant |

Celeste :hugheart I know how I want to eat, but making it happen is an entirely different thing.

You guyzzz....I called the bulk food place to ask if they had coconut or almond flour and they had both - so I asked the price. Coconut flour is downright cheap (I think??) I can't really believe it. She said it was 72 cents per 100g. And almond flour was $2.54 per 100g. :scratch I expected them both to be around the 1.50 mark.

Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Wow. That is really inexpensive coconut flour!!
|
Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
I know. I'm wondering if it's somehow really crappy/bad for you/rancid or something :shifty
|
Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
I haven't had any issues with that coconut flour. :no Just be thankful that it's a good price, b/c almond flour adds up FAST! ;)
|
Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
:cheer so you've bought it before?? YAYY!!! TOtally getting some next time I'm in the city. I've Pinterest-ed some coconut flour recipies and was SO disappointed when the tiny bag of coconut flour was $12 at the HFS !!
thanks for that post :heart |
Re: D. R. P. T. ! (dietary revamp processing thread ;) )
Yup! :yes These are my favorite coconut flour pumpkin muffins. They seriously taste like a slice of pumpkin pie.

However, we are still at about 75% on everything (almost every day my kids get "one meal" "one snack" "one SOMETHING" that isn't on the diet). I just don't quit and keep moving forward. "If at first you don't succeed, try try again" It is super hard and the brain fog is tough to operate around :( What I do is sit down and take an HOUR to do meal planning once a week - mostly fast easy meals so that I can do it on the fly. I plan super carefully with my calendar in my hand. Here are some fast or low prep grain free meals (we do dairy AKA GAPS) *tacos (just eliminate the shell and beans) *spaghetti with zucchini noodles (this is a life saver - noodles in 15 minutes - 5 to spiral and 10 to sautee http://www.amazon.com/World-Cuisine-...etable+juliann) *meatloaf (I just use tomato paste and nut meal and spices) *roast chicken and veggies *tomato soup w/ meat of any sort (take chicken broth and tomato sauce or paste, season with ital seasonings) I have more but can't think of them. Will dig out my ipod and come back. |
