pâté recipe - http://www.amuse-your-bouche.com/walnut-roasted-garlic-chickpea-pate/

I stirred through some fresh thyme leaves at the end for some extra flavour.

Thank you, that will be used, probably a lot!

If you can tolerate chickpeas, you might like this recipe too. It is 100 times tastier than shop-bought!

Oooh - I'd been thinking about home-made hummus, that recipe looks good.

Thursday -

B: Strawberries and double cream.
L: Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, raw mushrooms, hummus.
D: Steamed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, leek and mushrooms) and grated cheese.

Friday - Day out and unexpected lunch out. I ate the packed lunch whilst waiting for the fourth cancelled train of the day.

B: Crackers and butter, strawberries and double cream
Lunch Part One: Egg mayonnaise sandwich.
Lunch Part Two: Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, Quorn cocktail sausages, satsuma.
Dinner: Cheesy omelette with red onion, green pepper and mushrooms.

I'm also trying a small bit of cheese or nuts just before bed to see if that cons my liver into good behaviour at dawn.

Yesterday:

Brunch: tofu wiener, lots of coffee throughout the day
Dinner: red Thai curry, pappadums, spicy yogurt dip.

I tried the vegan Quorn bits in the curry for the first time. They are as tasty as the regular pieces, but broke up quite a bit. This may have been my fault though

I have missed this forum, I love seeing what people eat, work has been so busy. late nights etc. I struggle with keeping myself eating well, so have done batch cooking for the week, yes I eat beans, lentils but no bread or pasta with any of them. The tofu burgers are to die for, first time. so thats my meals and some lunches for the week

making them I am normally not keen on tofu but these are yum, if anyone wants receipts let me,know put them on recipe page?

What part does flax play in the dish as I am funny about flax? If it acts as a binder, I could maybe use a chia egg.

 

[Avocado Sevenfold]

@Rosieshe I will give the burgers a go tonight and let you know how I get on. I like trying new things. Thanks for sharing x

I like the look of this! Thank you.

I've got some tofu for a protein change and have everything else except the spinach so I'll give it a try soon.

 

[Avocado Sevenfold]

Brunch: cold leftover curry
Dinner: spinach and tofu burger, coleslaw made with eggless mayo
Pudding: 20g vanilla Swedish Glace (5g carbs) with strawberries. I forgot how sweet food is!

I enjoyed the spinach and tofu burger and imagine it would be great for breakfast. Used a slightly different recipe that used peanut butter as a binder. I think Rosie's burger would pack more flavour though with the paprika and cumin

 

[Scimama]

B: scrambled eggs
L: lidl protein roll and cheese, cucumber
D: baked camembert and low carb veggies

 

[Japes]

Yesterday and today have been much the same

B: Strawberries and greek yogurt
L: Lettuce, cherry tomatoes, raw mushrooms, hummus and a small chunk of extra-mature cheddar cheese.
D. Eggs - omelette yesterday and hard boiled today. Steamed veggies yesterday and salad use-up today. A few raspberries with a dollop of clotted cream.

However, I had a real dip mid afternoon today, and had a couple of slices of Burgen toasted. It did not affect me as Friday's bread did, and when I tested a couple of hours after eating it, having been for a walk, all was absolutely fine.
