An easy gluten-, dairy-, soy-, corn-, yeast-, grain-, additive-free, ‘Paleo’ dinner that ANYONE would love! And introducing Master2 to coleslaw…. This is how it went.
FISH NUGGETS
Toss cut up, fresh fish pieces in egg then coat in:
– coconut flour
– turmeric
– salt/pepper
Adults can join in too!
(Turmeric has so many superpowers including reducing inflammation, not to mention it gives the nuggets a great golden colour).
Fry in coconut oil at medium heat – to avoid processed vegetable oils or using olive oil which goes rancid at high heat (& not good for our health). Keep your olive oil for when you’re not heating it, such as the mayo…
Our Thermomix is a saving grace at making homemade mayonnaise and coleslaw. This way we avoid additives, sugar, gluten and other not-so-desirable ingredients in store-bought mayonnaise. Of course, if you don’t have a Thermomix and can’t fathom making mayonnaise, compare ingredient labels to find one with few ingredients.
As you can see, I’ve provided plenty of fish, some avocado for good fats that will also fill Master2 up and THE SAMPLER of coleslaw.
As he’s never seen it before (that he can remember), I reduced expectations to even eat ANY and put out enough just for experimentation.
He wasn’t keen when it stuck to his avocado, although that was my plan. However, we distracted him to focus on his fish. By the time he was stabbing his avocado (with help from Dad), he unwittingly ate some. No chance of a full scoop, but I’ll take some in the mouth a win!!!
We had ours with a pile of cherry tomatoes too. That’s a challenge for both boys on another night!
I’m sure others are up for some yummy, easy toddler meals. Go ahead and share your go-to one
