An intro to much ado about food + Homemade Nuggets!

Today really marks an adventure of food, foraging for the organics, to living with eco-sustainability.

In this blog, I'll be sharing my local eats (as fast as my camera can snatch it before food reaches my mouth!) In addition, there will be plenty of exploring pertinent issues about health and delicious dishes to be inspired by! As I learn to cook with more healthful and sustainable ingredients, I hope you all in turn try something new. So come have a seat by Healthy Foraging!


I know I haven't had much posts but here's one to celebrate the opening! This is a snack/dish I made in the summer.

That day, I was craving some chicken nuggets (the ones from McDonald's are so good and so bad for you!!) but I remembered someone had a similar recipe to re-creating this dish. I decided to give it a go as after watching King Corn, who wants the corn-saturated meats?! So, I grabbed the help of my lovely siblings, and made . . .

Chicken nuggets!

 The recipe, which was slightly modified, made about 25 round nuggets.

Note, this was a very sticky batter and I had to grab spoons and plenty of gloves to forget the messy clean up. Made from chicken breast and all the ingredients you'll always find in your house!


Here's an up close image of the spices :)

It did take a bit of time just to shape and create these balls. I also decided to double and triple coat in both flour and egg mixture. I did make a couple of varieties but ended up seeing similar taste except in outside coating. Next time? I'll go make a katsu-crunch to go!

I've always had trouble keeping the spices as intense as can be. Does anyone know of ways to make the flavors potent but not causing any burning before the "crumb" is cooked?

Grab them while it's hot!
