Recipe. No Fry Chicken Nuggets

By Kid Kritics | May 7, 2012

These No Fry Chicken Nuggets are better than the best! So easy. Key: buy taste chicken breasts from naturally raised chickens. Cut them into nuggets sizes, sprinkle both sides with paprika, dip them in egg and then into a bag of a crumbled crackers (used Annie’s Buttery Rich) mix with a little olive oil. Bake and Voila! Make a lot because you kids will be popping and chewing as many as they can. Recipe

Recipe creator, Healthier Recipe Mom, Shonda, said, “The chicken came out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The subtle buttery taste of the crackers added a nice flavor. My daughter LOVED them! We will definitely make these again!”

Grocery List… add Gluten Free Mini Pretzels

By Kid Kritics | May 1, 2012

(Kid Kritics Quiz Prize!)

The crunch sold these pretzels; kids love the feel and sound of crunch. In fact, we had fun with this and put a mike to their mouths for all to hear. You could say kids love the taste of crunch. “Fantastic!”

We think everyone should eat less wheat so these Gluten Free Mini Pretzels or Sticks by the world famous pretzel maker, Snyder's of Hanover, are great treat picks. And, they can be used as dippers in nutrient filled dips such as hummus. Try them!

Recipe. Super Easy Turkey Chili

By Kid Kritics | March 26, 2012

Simply delicious and loaded with nutrients (vegetables, fruit, legumes, poultry, herbs/spices). In your crockpot, throw ground turkey, chopped onions and bell peppers, tomato sauce, beans and seasoning (sea salt, chili powder, Worcestershire sauce, parsley) and cook on slow while you are at work. Return home with your hungry kids, pour some in bowls, top with grated cheese and serve. Or, get fancy and spoon some in a scooped out whole grain roll. This is a meal in one – Performance Rating: 6 naturally sourced colors, 5 food groups – actually 6 when you top with cheese. What a great inexpensive meal your family will gobble up. For details: http://www.kidkritics.com/recipes/Super-Easy-Turkey-Chili-(Slow-Cooker)/218. Enjoy!

Grocery List. Gluten Free Cornbread and Muffin Mix

By Kid Kritics | February 28, 2012

Cornbread provides a tasty alternative to other wheat and gluten free mixes. Rich with flavor, this mix is fast and easy to use to make plain cornbread, muffins and even quiche or tart crusts. I plan to make a spinach, turkey bacon and cheese quiche with this. And, one day, I'll use it as a pie crust for blueberry filler! As always, Pamela is careful with her ingredients sources. This mix is made with organic degermed corn meal and flour – she goes the extra mile for you. And you can taste the difference. Always have a bag of this handy in your cupboard for quick side solutions for your dinners. It's a Kid Kritics favorite!

Dr. Heather Manley’s Healthy Heart Food List

By Kid Kritics | February 3, 2012

Since you heart is pumping hard to push blood through about 60,000 miles of blood vessels a day, wouldn't it be a good idea to feed this muscle its needed fuel? Dr. Heather shares what she feeds her family of four so all stay healthy and function at their best. Good fats (Omega-3s) were tops on her list. Putting flax seed oil with heart healthy blueberries and other fruit into smoothies is a daily event for breakfast or snacks. Avocados in salads or Guacamole are frequently consumed by her family. Grass-fed beef and eggs are commonly found on their plates for dinner and other meals. One of her young daughter's was making scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese for her breakfast while we were on the air. It's not that hard!

To hear all of Dr. Manley's Heart Health interview, please go to the www.BetterFoodChoicesRadio.com archived shows, or, www.iTunes.com, Podcast, Better Food Choices and click on the Feb. 3rd, 2012 show. PLEASE, avoid having any heart disease statistics in your family. Listen to Dr. Heather Manley.

All the kids were licking every drop in and on their cups. Big Success! For recipe details, please go to www.KidKritics.com. Then click on the Breakfast recipe icon. You will find it listed there.

Spelt Spaghetti is as good as it gets! The grain spelt has been grown for thousands of years in Europe. In this country, Spelt used to be grown by the hundreds of thousands of acres. Increased mechanization made it an impractical crop, and it was replaced by wheat. Now Spelt is making a big comeback in the United States. It has a rich, nutty flavor and a smoother texture, containing a "balanced" protein made up of all 8 essential amino acids your body requires. Plus, it is more easily digested than wheat. All other pasta will taste boring after you enjoy some made with spelt. The Kid Kritics LOVED it. So will yours. Please, put this on your grocery list.
