Chicken nuggets

Yesterday I posted about the chicken nuggets that I make. Today for lunch I made the chicken nuggets for lacie. I took some pictures to show you just how easy it really is. If you missed yesterdays post here is how to make them
1 can of Hormel white chicken
1 egg
salt and pepper
about 1/3 cup of the rice crumbs. I just add the rice crumbs until it looks right... So I'm a little unsure how much you will need exactly.
I drain the chicken. Then add it to my mixing bowl.. I use a spoon or whatever to break down some of the larger chunks.
add my egg, salt, pepper, and rice crumbs mix well.. then gently place them on my all ready hot skillet.. I use extra virgin olive oil to make them crispy... and that's it!! Your done.. a super fast kid friendly meal.. Hope your little nuggets enjoy. =)

My Autism story

My journey with autism began January 2009. My daughter Lacie had been behind. Making no progress in any area. She screamed all the time, and nothing could soothe her. Jan. of 09 Lacie was 21 months old. She had no language. She did not wave, or say goodbye.. She did not look anyone in the eye.. She would watch t.v. or stare off into space for hours..To tell you the truth that was all she did ever. As she got older and could walk around she was lining up her toys.. and flapping her arms most of the day.
I knew she was behind. I knew I needed to do something, but I didn't know what? Her pediatrician told me she was fine. Other mom's told me she was fine. I think the other mom's were just trying to make me feel better. Even still with all of this.. I knew.
No one wants to believe something like autism could be touching your child. We all dream from the moment we see two pink lines on that home pregnancy test of what a beautifully smart and healthy child we will have. We anticipate
the delivery, and long to hear the words "mommy".
That January my heart sank as I talked to my mom and she told me about the gluten/casein free diet. As she talked to me about Lacie being behind and her behavior. I didn't want to hear this. I didn't even know what gluten or casein was. How was I going to feed her? Where would I find food that didn't have gluten and casein in it? AND more importantly. NO, my daughter is isn't autistic... so why would this diet help her? ... Later that night I searched everything my self. Looking for the answer. I eventually found my self on You Tube.. looking at videos of other autistic children, and a wave of emotion hit me.. That was lacie. My beautiful little girl was just like these children. After months of depression. Sleepless nights, and days filled with uncontrollable crying. I with the help of my brave mom started finding the cure for Lacie. I was determined to find my little girl lost inside herself.
I found everything to read and learn about the diet, and supplements to give her. With in months she started making eye contact!! She started trying to talk .. and point!!! She wasn't screaming all the time! and best of all she wanted to be around me, my family, and others!! She was budding!
I took Lacie to see a development specialist. They told me yes she is behind, but to get any help from them she had to be 28% behind.. Lacie was only 25% behind. They wanted me to come back to have more testing done.. to see about autism. I didn't take lacie back because I didn't want lacie to have a label, and I knew that after more time on the diet she was going to be "normal".
And today I'm proud to say that she is "normal"! Whatever that really means.
