Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi all, my daughter is having a reaction to even the egg yolks so I have to find an alternative for breakfast (no eggs or nuts yet). We are in Stage 1 so it will have to be easier to digest. We tried the Chicken Tots and the kids didn't like them at all. I was thinking sausage but I don't want it to be too close to the hamburgers I am giving at lunch. Is the sausage different enough? Are there variations in spice combinations? Are most spices safe? Thanks in advance Kelli SAHM to Kai 3 1/2- ASD and Tatum 1 1/2 NT SCD since 5/05, off for 3 months, back on 3/10/06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 You could roll the meat into logs to make the sausage. That way it will taste and LOOK different. You can also make the sausage using chicken and that will make it taste a lot different than hamburger. Plain spices with no additives are fine. I use Frontier Spices, but I am sure there are other brands that are fine as well. Just don't use spice mixtures or onion or garlic powder (anti-caking agents). Cumin and cilantro will give you a " mexican " flavor. Basil and oregano will give an " italian " flavor.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 For what it's worth, some celiac organizations recommend McCormick's herbs and spices as not having additives, but they are looking simply at gluten. I called the company and they said their pure herbs and spices have nothing added but to avoid the blends and powders (garlic & onion powder, etc.). I would but Frontier Spices first, per Carol's good recommendation, but if you don't have a store near you that carries them, McCormick's is probably a safe second choice. Most spice dealers don't check the purity of their suppliers (it's a lot of work when you buy bulk lots of tiny volatile substances produced in small batches from odd corners of the world). Most suppliers will NOT tell you their spices are pure. McCormick's does, so I presume they're checking their suppliers. I hope so, at least. Suzanne > > > > Thanks Jody.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 I just checked Costco and they have a couple 100% organic McCormick spices. They don't have many though. We don't have many health food stores here unfortunately. Thanks for all the help guys.
