Having this tonight. Then going to test my BG and see how I do with lentils.

I do 2, 2.5 and 3 hour tests with high fat dishes or slow release carbs like lentils.....

I agree. It was very yummy.
Before eating I was 6.2
@2 hours 6.5
@3 hours 7.8
@4 hours 7.2
So I didn't come down that fast. I will test again after having the leftovers for lunch today.

But you didn't pass 7.8 either so good result for yummy warming food.....

I haven't tried any other lentils but I'll stick with the French ones for now. They are my favourite. I'm so excited!!

I'm not lentil savvy. Just know there's red and green ones....

I really enjoyed it. Her blog has a few interesting meals I want to try.
I was wondering when recipes use a cream for a base if hummus would work with extra olive oil?

B: golden milk

L: salad with hummus, Cauldron tofu pieces and mixed seeds

D: stuffed mushrooms on leaves with balsamic vinegar. I used the Deliciously Ella recipe, subbed the pine nuts for sunflower seeds and it worked really well.

Snack: almond milk and brazil nuts

Photo to prove that for once my lunch managed not to get all squished and upside down on the way to work today!

I saw a lasagne recipe recently and they used hummus for the sauce so that might work. Creamed cashews are also good for creaminess. I suppose it depends on the dish. Do you have one in mind?

Thinking of layering the veggies with hummus instead of cheese and cream.
But creamed cashews might work too.

Maybe Alpro soya cream? Or a rice (Rice Dream I think) cream? Found a few when trying to find dairy/lacto free for my granddaughter before Xmas

We have Cashew and Almound milk here Maybe that would be a short cut instead of making my own. And I'll just find a way to thicken it.

Tapioca starch/flour makes cashew cream stretchy like cheese. It is quite carby, but you only need a little. I used it recently when I made a lasagne.

Check out this stretchy cheese http://itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/2015/01/23/melty-stretchy-gooey-vegan-mozarella/

I'm baking Charlotte spuds and cooking red cabbage for the first time. I'm going to try it as it is with just a touch of black pepper and lots of butter....

Could avocado work as a base?
