In Doy’s garden

Log it in Doydum and a row of tomatoes sprouts in today’s bed in front of Doy’s house.

Skinless chicken breast cooked on a grill or griddle pan, a staple of home cooking, meal prep and canteen menus. It has a mild taste that takes on marinades, herbs and spices easily, and most of its energy comes from protein.

Oily marinades, skin left on and creamy sauces raise the numbers, so log them when they are on the plate.
