Get started with two great kid-centric recipes.

HOMEMADE CHICKEN NUGGETS
• 2 lbs chicken breast* • 2 tablespoons chopped dehydrated onions
• 2-3 eggs** • 1 ½ teaspoon unrefined sea salt
• 1 cup blanched almond flour • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
• 2 tablespoons arrowroot • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Pecorino Romano • ¼ teaspoon cayenne

• Chop chicken into two inch nuggets.
• Using a whisk or fork, mix blanched almond flour and all spices in one bowl.
• Beat eggs in another bowl.
• Submerge each chicken nugget in egg wash and then dredge in almond flour/spice mixture.
• Carefully lay each nugget on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not crowd.
• Bake in oven preheated to 400° 25 minutes or until golden brown.

*You may use dark meat but I find breast meat gives you the classic chicken nuggets to perfection.
**This is a good place to use extra egg whites.
BBQ DIPPING SAUCE
I admit it. I loved it when my parents would let us have chicken nuggets from the golden arches! MMMMMMM
BBQ dipping sauce! Connecting to my inner child helped me to come up with this sneaky way to get kids to eat more
bone broth. I make a big batch and freeze small portions. We use it as a spread on sandwiches, grassfed hotdogs,
hamburgers and with homemade chicken nuggets. You can prep many ahead and freeze them for quick
nutrient-dense lunches later.

• 1-finely diced white onion • 1 1/2 heads of garlic, shredded
• 4 cups beef bone broth • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups molasses • 1/2 teaspoons allspice
• 2 tablespoons celery salt • 3 cups tomato paste
• 3/4 cup spicy mustard • 3 teaspoons horseradish

• Heat onions and garlic in 4 cups bone broth on medium stove heat.
• Turn stove heat down to low.
• Add all other ingredients, and combine completely by stirring.
• Cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
• At this point, test the thickness of your sauce. When you’re happy with the consistency, remove it from the heat.
• If you want a thicker sauce continue to cook down with occasional stirring.
• If you want a thinner sauce, add 1/4 cup bone broth or water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
