My original thought was to change Chicken Monday into Shrimp Monday. I thought a little change up might be good for my dieting psyche. But when push came to shove, I just couldn’t go without chicken on Monday. I had a couple of baking potatoes so decided to make a lo-cal version of mashed potatoes with some faux butter and a little milk. They came out quite yummy. It’s important to remember, though, if you want potatoes to taste like anything, salt the cooking water heavily. Then add salt to taste as you mash them. The green beans were made with some mushrooms and sage and John pan-roasted the chicken. We had our usual lo-cal chicken gravy from a packet and tossed in a few mushrooms. This was a very delicious dinner. A dish of blueberries was for dessert.
