On tonight's menu - Long time comfort food and modified from my earlier
newly wed meal of shake & bake chicken, mashed potatoes, corn niblets.
Now it's evloved to lightly coated - homemade coating without sugar -
baked boneless & skinless breasts with peach chutney, steamed swiss
chard, and saffron rice. A late season tomato salad with fresh herbs
will be served as well. Here's the pic of the salad & main dish.

DH needed a dessert for a meeting tonight. I made him meringue desserts
- 2 dozen. This is a dessert I modified years ago and still works well.
These are very easy to make but they do require time because of the
long baking & cooling times. The real trick is getting the meringue
just right. The centre of the nest should only be big enough for a 1 -
1 1/2 tbsp of filling. They are a great way to use up bits of left over
jams or jellies so are quite economical. DH likes them filled with
lemon curd or cherry pie filling. A chutney such as peach or mango
would work well too. Here's the pics.

strawberry, apple, & sweet cherry
Before anyone asks, I'm not sure if you could make these using splenda
as I haven't tried. I suspect if you could then used a low sugar or
dietetic filling they would be low carb as well.
