Chicken nuggets are so delicious and so many people are not wanting to go to a fast-food restaurant and wanting to get back to basic natural food preparation and eating it just makes so much sense to make your own food items. I went searching on Youtube and found this excellent chicken nugget recipe by Tiffin Box and I knew immediately I had to make it. I was so happy that I got a food processor for Christmas last year because to make a real copycat version of a chicken nugget you must chop the chicken up and reconstitute it into a big patty then bread it, then let your nuggets chill to make then set and fry them up to a golden crispy crunch.

Ingredients:

• Boneless chicken breast
• 500 grams of white bread
• 4 slices of ginger paste
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic paste
• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon white pepper powder
• 1/2 tablespoon paprika powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1  egg (medium size)
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1 cup of breadcrumbs (salt and pepper the breadcrumbs to taste)

Directions:

In this excellent video tutorial, you will be guided step by step to prep your chicken breast meat by grinding up all the ingredients in the food processor. Then you will make a big patty on a cutting board then cut small nuggets out of the reconstituted chicken meat.

Then, you will dredge your lovely mini chicken nuggets in the homemade bread crumb mixture and then deep fry in your favorite variety of cooking oil until the nuggets are a crispy golden brown.

I really can’t wait to try this recipe.

I am from the coast of Texas and I’ve been through many weather events and one thing I do know all too well is that you never know when the power may go out. Even an ice storm in the winter months can affect the power by knocking down lines. Fortunately, many of us make a habit out of staying prepared but in case you are somehow caught off guard for whatever reason, it is really useful and intelligent to know some basic survival skills. On the top of that list is being able to see in the dark because if you have ever been through any situation where a complete power blackout has happened, you understand being in the dark makes everything one-hundred times worse. I found this excellent video on Youtube by The King Of Random and she had five great ideas to make homemade candles in a pinch and they were all ingenious and completely outstanding.

Materials For Emergency Candles:

• Toothpicks
• Toilet Paper
• Dish Rags
• Cotton Rope
• Crisco Shortening
• Vegetable Cooking Oil
• Butter
• Salt

Varieties of Candles In The Video:

In the video, you will learn how to make a candle that will burn for 19 hours by immersing it in Crisco shortening. The lady in the Youtube video also does a side by side experiment and shows you how fast the candle actually burns out.

You will also learn how to make small candles in a glass container using salt and vegetable oil with a dishrag wick.

These candle ideas are fantastic and everyone should know these just in case they may need them one day.
