Yesterday:
Brunch: Burgen toast with cashew butter - like peanut butter but higher carb/higher priced. Nice to try though.
Dinner: green bean, mushroom and peanut curry, poppadoms and spicy soya yogurt dip

Today:
Brunch: Burgen toast with cashew butter
Dinner: leftover curry, pudding made from creamed cashews, yogurt, splenda and lime (like a key lime pie without the crust)

we have numerous generations of diabetics in my family, but I am the only one who low carbs and controls my diabetes with diet, so many have poor BG control and complications :( wish they would try to control their diet but they think they can eat anything and then medicate for it :banghead:

I am the only known diabetic in my family. I don't know any real life diabetics either, just you virtual guys to keep me on the straight and narrow x

Brunch: Saturday night leftovers
Dinner: big, whole smoked portobello mushrooms topped with cashew cheese, salad. Coffee and 85% choc

Attempted to make cashew cheese again today and it is still a bit grainy despite soaking the nuts for ages. Tasty enough though. If I win the lottery we can all get Vitamixes :joyful: but until then lumpy cheese will have to do. Mushroom marinade recipe here http://www.olivesfordinner.com/2013/03/shiitake-bacon.html
when you said you soacked for ages how long? I find I need to do them for 12-14 hrs I put them in a jar with water. I dont have a fancy mixer
