I was very late to work this morning because I was making chicken nuggets. I was in the shower, and Bella woke up crying, because she wanted to take chicken nuggets for lunch like the rest of her friends. Holy cow!!! Soppy wet, I ran to the kitchen, and started defrosting chicken (could be allergy mom guilt). 24 minutes of defrosting, I finished my shower... I cubed 2 chicken breasts, breaded, and fried!!! They were so good. Her eyes lit up!!! I missed a meeting, sigh, but these could pass for fast food chicken nuggets!
2 organic chicken breasts
1 egg
½ c organic whole wheat flour
1 tbsp wheat germ
½ tsp organic poultry seasoning
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp pepper
dash paprika
organic corn oil
Cube the chicken breast into nugget size pieces. Mix all dry ingredients, and separate into two bowls, beat egg in separate bowl. Line up bowls: flour mix, egg, flour mix. Roll chicken in flour mix, dip in egg, and roll in flour mix. Fry in small frying pan. Approx. 10 minutes on each side.

What you may not know about peanut allergy
If your child has a peanut allergy s/he could react to soy as well. The news of this cross-reactivity was eye-opening and I've researched further and contacted my allergist. Everything points to eliminating all soy from her diet.
I copied the following from www.allergyware.com
How could soy cause an allergic reaction in my child with peanut allergy?In scientific terms, soybean allergens are “homologous” to known peanut allergens and can be recognized by 44% of peanut-allergic patients.
What that means is that a child with a peanut allergy can have an allergic reaction and even go into anaphylaxis after eating soy. Because this cross-reactivity is rarely mentioned in the press, many parents are unaware of the potential health risks that soy may present to children with peanut allergies.
What are the Signs of a Cross-Reaction to Soy?According to Ingrid Yman, PhD of the Swedish National Food Administration, these deaths initially appear as an asthma attack, with no or very mild symptoms for the first 30-90 minutes after the consumption of food containing soy. Then, the children suffer fatal asthma attacks.
What Can I Do to Protect My Child with Peanut Allergy?According to Dr. Yman, PhD of the Swedish National Food Administration, “If your child is allergic to peanuts, you should consider eliminating soy as well as all peanuts from your child’s diet, even if your child has never reacted poorly to soy in the past. Some sensitive children have “hidden” soy allergies that manifest for the first time with a severe – even fatal – reaction to even the low levels of “hidden” soy commonly found in processed food products. Those at the highest risk suffer from asthma as well as peanut allergy.”
The Swedish National Food Administration study analyzed severe food allergy reactions of children that died after consuming soy. These children had known allergies to peanuts but not to soy.
What products contain soy?Soy can be found in soy milk, tofu, soy sauce, baby formula and other soy products.
Soy is also used in many processed foods, as soy lecithin, soy lecithin, soybean oil and other soy derivatives.
