That sounds delicious! Thanks Ethyl, will give it a go :hungry: A trick I learned recently is that when using shop bought paneer, is to cut it into cubes and soak it in water for half an hour before using. Plumps it up as the shop bought cheese is all squished into the packet. (Maybe everyone knows this, but it was news to me lol)

When my son makes a pasta dish for himself, whilst the pasta's cooking and he's preparing the veg.... he cubes the paneer, soaks it in a bowl of hot water or stock, by doing this it makes the paneer plump, soft and squigey. Then he drains it and adds the paneer to the rest of the ingredients in the pan. By doing it this way it allows the paneer to soak up any sauce in the recipe. Btw I looove paneer :)

B - warm smoked mackerel with cheese bites and butter
L - Leftover soup (basically beef dripping, seasoning and veg with tomato puree for colour, whizzed)
D - Belly pork casserole with butter beans and steamed veg
Snack - carrot cake (testing for spiking)

*Was away till yesterday so scratching about a bit for food today.
Found staying at B&B that they served mixed berries among the fruit at breakfast, and lovely thick yoghurt; also the fried breakfast without sausage or toast was just right; also I added a couple of butter pats to scrambled egg for a bit of extra fat; and they did super kippers too :joyful:

Hello I'm new here - diagnosed t2 in early October 4 months after having my second baby, after having gestational diabetes in both pregnancies. Am a fervent believer in low carbing. Today I ate:

Brunch: tuna salad with raw red cabbage, Mayo, 2 boiled eggs, spring onions, mozzarella and sundried tomatoes.

Dinner: chicken baked in mascarpone and red pesto, with wok-cooked courgette and cavallo Nero.
