What's for Dinner, Thurs., April 23, 2020

[NJCher]

Chicken thighs, carrots and potatoes, and broccoli salad.

The broccoli salad is something the RG helped me with, just off the top of his head. I like how he can come up with a recipe by just thinking about it. In this case, he told me to chop pecans and hazelnuts, mix them with sesame paste (2 different kinds), a little soy, sesame oil, and toss it with the broccoli. It was good, but it was too salty, so since tomatoes take salt out of a dish, we put in grape tomatoes. Worked like a charm!

For dessert we're having shortbread cookies with creamy pistachio filling. Another RG invention.

4. Blueberry Ice Cream sounds great

5. I put frozen blueberries in a blender and add cream and stevia. It is earthy

and not as sweet as real ice cream, but i like it. I'm trying to not have carbs.
