Operation Cook Every Night.. Night 8

Sunday night I made Lemon Caper Chicken.. I have made this before and really like it.. We had a salad with it.. I was going to make a vegetable but we were actually not that hungry last night..

Lemon Caper Chicken

 2 Servings * 110 Calories

2 skinless, boneless chicken thighs

Juice of 1 lemon

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 Shallots, minced

1 Tablespoon capers, drained

1 Teaspoon Dijon mustard

Preheat broiler, place chicken in a shallow roasting pan. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over chicken. Broil for 15 mins or until chicken is done.

Then for dessert I made Sugar Free - Carb Free - Gluten Free- Pumpkin Cookies.. Let's just call them Free Pumpkin Cookies, you might be thinking how could they taste good if they are "free" of everything? well, they are very good.. They do not get hard like a cookie since there is not any sugar but they do get crusty on the outside.. it is like having a nice bite of pumpkin pie filling..

"Free" Pumpkin Cookies

2 cups Almond meal

1 cup pumpkin 

2 eggs

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 cup Splenda or Stevia 

1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 tsp pumpkin spice

1 tsp vanilla extract

Combine all ingredients in your mixer and scoop onto a pre-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 15-20 mins.
