You didn't know we're eating chicken now? Well, the short answer is "yes, we are recovering vegans, apparently". We now eat egg yolks, as Rx'd by the doc, too. So, we've done the crock pot chicken a few different ways. Then my crock pot died. We've done ground chicken a few different ways. Now we are trying this. I know it's not exactly the recipe my mom-friend, B, from LaLa's gym uses, but it has all the right words in the title....and it is delish!
INGREDIENTS
4 tsp salt (I used 2)
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 onions, quartered
2 (4 pound) whole chickens (we used one 5 pound only)
*We also chopped carrots and potatoes
*We also drizzled 1-1.5 Tbsp honey over top of chicken
DIRECTIONS
1. In a small bowl, mix together all dry ingredients.
2. After rinsing and patting dry chicken, rub dry ingredients all over outside and inside of chicken
SCREECHING TIRE SOUND!!
What? She must stick her hands INSIDE the CHICKEN?!
(Why, yes, LaLa...that is where all the yummy magic happens!)
3. Place 1 onion (quartered) inside cavity
4. In a large roasting dish, place chicken and chopped veggies.
5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours.
6. Bake uncovered for 5 hours (to a minimum internal thermometer reading of 180 degrees); let stand for 10 minutes before carving.

A long-time friend just wrote and asked, "You eat chicken now?"
ReplyDeleteYes! The doctor we see now for LaLa specializes in epigenetics and nutrigenomics. She is also a "recovering vegan" and has me feeding the kids some (straight from the farm) egg yolks and chicken. It's a mixed bag in my house. The one who has to eat FOUR egg yolks per DAY hates them (no matter how they're prepared). My other girls only get 3/week and think it's no fair that they can't have 4/day!
Check out Dr. Amy Yasko's (ALL FREE) info online if you're interested in epigenetics and nutrigenomics. She is not who we see, but that's where I first found out about this type of medicine (which is SO different from what I'm used to in the nursing field!). We spent 12 years seeing MD specialists, trying to get help for LaLa, yet she continued to deteriorate. The last 6 months with this doctor has seen the most incredible results. LaLa is off all her meds *and* she is growing better than when she was on growth hormone injections.
