Deep Fried Heaven!

My brother is down visiting and this brings with it Added Allergies to the list.  Soy and Dairy. My drive is to get my little brother (6′ 4″) from his current weight of 135 pounds on the path of good food that won’t kill him and a target weight of 170 minimum!

A noble mission… and one that will have me hitting the treadmill and carrot sticks when he leaves!  Until then?   I am one happy girl! Why?  Due to meals like this!

Hubby has mastered the art of Deep Fried Chicken fingers. Crispy seasoned outer breading with moist tender strips of chicken inside.  Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free but certainly NOT free of great flavor!  He is promising me the recipe to post here to share.

Now, most people would toss some plum sauce, carrot sticks and maybe some fries on the side but what did I get to have? 

Deep Fried Mushrooms! Now both of these were Wheat Free, gluten free, dairy free and soy free (sunflower free too but that is simply the matter of choosing the right oil for deep frying).  These bad boys brought back memories of the Burger Baron in my home town.  Early eight’s – deep fried, pre-transfat craze, everything bad for you but a hint of a veggy in there – mouth scalding bites of heaven.  Some plum sauce to help cool them down and they disappeared into my mouth one right after the other, long past the point of need and deep into the heart of dietary greed!  Every sinful moment a delight!

This is the man that knows the way to my heart.  He is NOT allergic to wheat but has committed himself to this cause 100%.  He lives in a wheat free home and never complains.  He challenges out food like a true scientist.

Now to nag… I mean.. “encourage” him to get those recipes posted for us!
