Chicken Nuggets 2 organic chicken breasts Breading choices (choose one) 1 cup GF dry cereal (crushed in a bag) 1 cup GF bread crumbs (dry out bread in oven and crumble in blender) Almond flour Any GF or nut flour including coconut flour 1- tablespoon sea salt (or 1 cup of pureed vegetable) Choose a breading and add salt Cut chicken into desired sized strips or pieces, wash, and pat dry Dip chicken into egg or binding mixture, and then coat with breading Cook in oil until golden brown Flourless Chicken Pancakes 1 chicken breast precooked (season as desired while boiling) 3 eggs Using a food processor, blend ingredients together until completely smooth. Mixture will look just like thick pancake batter. Use ¼ cup of the mixture and cook in hot greased skillet like a pancake. Batter may need to be spread out a bit so that it is not too thick. These pancakes cook much faster than flour pancakes. Watch them closely. Makes 4-5 pancakes. *Recipe by Jody from PecanBread.com Cashew Butter Bread 3 eggs 1¼ - cups cashew butter ½ - cup nut milk 1- tsp honey 1- tsp baking soda 1- tsp salt 1

(Continued from page 4) I like using almond, cashew, or macadamia nuts. You can also use pine nuts, walnuts, Brazil nuts, or anything you like, except peanuts. Soak nuts with a skin (such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts) overnight. In a hurry, soak nuts for at least 2 hours. For those that are soft with no skin (such as cashews and macadamia nuts), no soaking is necessary. Drain water used to soak nuts. Combine nuts, fresh water, dates, if used, and blend until creamy. Strain the milk by pouring the liquid through a vegetable juicer (which strains out the pulp), or with muslin, cheesecloth, or a thin kitchen towel. Sweeten and flavor with vanilla and sweetener to taste. Nut milk will keep two to three days in the refrigerator, no longer.

Drain and rinse with water. Place the beans into a pot and cover with water and cook for 20-25 minutes until soft, but not mushy. Do not add salt to the beans while they cook it will make them tough. Grind the sunflower seed until the consistency of nut flour. Place the beans into a food processor and process until coarsely chopped.
