Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Did you try the " Carrot curls " recipe in BTVC? I liked it myself, and it is crunchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Hi. My son has a lot of mouth sensory issues and would not eat. I discovered thru this site, that pork rinds are legal. I grind them in the food processor and use them as bread crumbs and sometimes I add some spices. I do the usual thing of dipping the meat/vege in egg and then the crumbs. I fry them and he eats them with no problem. It is really the only thing that he willingly eats. Also I would take a pork rind and stuff it either with peanut butter or some meat/cheese/vege. He would eat them easily also. everyting else is a struggle for him. I know a lot of people don't like frying, so you can bake the items after they're breaded with the rinds. I find the UTZ brand to be the best and least salty. You can also bake some bread and make bread crumbs out of it and mix it with the ground rinds. They give the bread crumbs a good crunch. I hope this helps you. My son's favorites are zucchini prepared this way and ground chicken. mom to broderick, asd, scd 13 months -- In pecanbread , " janebrobbey " wrote: > > What crunchy foods other than nuts can I give my son?

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 , My two year old boys also enjoy eating cruncy foods. They have been on the diet for almost six months. Can you give me your recipe for crackers from beans? Thanks, Dana Garrett and Celiac, Develomental Delays SCD 5 1/2 months julie46250 wrote: > > What crunchy foods other than nuts can I give my son?

Can you give me your recipe for crackers from beans? Is your copy of Breaking the Vicious Cycle handy? I have the Millenium edition and the recipe is Herb's Bean Pancakes on page 100. As a caution to others--beans are not for beginners. Salt is " to taste " in the recipe. I used 1/4 t. My changes are to use 2 eggs instead of 1 to keep them from falling apart. Then I thinned the batter a lot because I had crackers in mind (but the pancakes are yummy; the onion gives them a flavor like a potato pancake, different texture, though.) I thinned the batter with the liquid from sauerkraut. But the recipe says to use yogurt. I think water or the liquid from cooking veggies would be good, too. The sauerkraut liquid made them a bit salty, but my son says they are just fine. I used a lot of oil on my griddle.Even though it's " non-stick " I often have sticking problems. I made the pancakes small. I think next time I'll make them really small, maybe Ritz-cracker size. Then I cooked them on both sides and put them in the dehydrator. I had no idea what temp to use: I started at 145 for about 3 hours and then dropped it to 95 before going to bed. I had them in for 10 hours. I hope they work for you. We were excited to have a nut-free cracker to send to school. , mom to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
