New blog and fun recipe!

Yay, finally, I have updated our blog!  I have been wanting to do it for some time, and just hadn't made it enough of a priority I guess.  I'm amazed at how much easier this new one is to navigate. 

My little one is a bit of a picky eater.  My mother-in-law lent me a cookbook that hides fruit and veggie purees in food.  One of his all time favorites is below.  He especially hates green veggies.  I love how this one hides broccoli.  Forgive all of the pictures.  I have always been a visual learner, and I love using pictures in my posts if you haven't gathered that already.

Chicken Nuggets

1 Pound of chicken breast or tenderloin cut into chunks.  Salt it generously.



Mix one cup of broccoli puree, (I just bought frozen this time, cooked it, and put it in the blender.)
with 1 egg.



For the breading:

1 cup of breadcrumbs, (I used cornmeal this time.  While we're not on a gluten free diet, I try and mix up our grains when I can.  The cornmeal isn't AS good a bread crumbs, but Sam still ate it up.)
1/2 cup ground flaxseed, (perfect way to sneak in fiber, mwuhaha.)
2 TBSP Parmesean Cheese, (I just use the cheap kind, but the recipe calls for the real deal)
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder


Dip the chicken in the broccoli mixture and then bread it.
Fry in olive oil over medium heat.
I usually cut one in half to make sure it's done through, and there you have it!

  2. Love the new look! Have you ever visited thepioneerwoman.com? She does these step-by-step picture instructions for every recipe. I think it's a helpful idea, and it makes you much more likely to try the recipe if you can see what the results will be like. :-)
