What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Discovered that Hummus isn't as carb heavy as I expected - around 4g per quarter pot or so. Used cheese sticks - as much as I've tried celery doesn't work for me (ok I hate it!) - nice to add another low carb food back into my diet!

OMG...forgot to mention, I have been having a single square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate when I watch TV in the evening...well yesterday when I was shopping i found the Lindt 90% and was so chuffed Id got it. Tried to nibble on it last night, the significant word there was 'tried' oh dear, I would rather have nothing, it tastes like death, do you guys ever acquire a taste for that stuff? Back to 70% for me, although my DN told me today that 1 or 2 squares of any chocolate isn't enough to cause an issue. Will still stick to the 70% though for now, at least until my BG is regulated x

I've never had Lindt, but Tesco 85% is good! plus it's only £1 at the moment.

KFC Mighty Bucket for one did my BG no good at all, so well done you!!

I've just made and noshed on @debrasue 's celeriac rosti, and it's excellent...really scrummy. I've got a recipe for a potato and ginger rosti somewhere, so I might experiment with that next time, and maybe fry rather than bake to get extra crispiness. But the recipe as given tastes great just as it is. Thanks very much, Debra Sue!!

Celeriac chips - the jury's still out. They're not bad, especially when dusted in paprika and a good dollop of mayo, but the biggest problem is that THEY JUST AREN'T CHIPS and they'll always be a poor substitute.

Aww, thanks Geoffers - coming from the man who created the magnificent spinach bread (which has become a staple in our house), that review is very much appreciated! :D
I'm with you on the celeriac chips. They're not bad, but - although I like the celeriac taste - it's a constant reminder that they aren't chips, and mine never seem to stay crisp. After a minute or two on the plate they go rather soft and limp. :meh:

Ah thats a shame, though have to say even though it didn't make me spike too bad it wasn't as enjoyable as i remember it being, very very greasy! I must do something with celeriac, Im always seeing it mentioned in here, I did buy one but it sat there until it went off because I didn't really know where to start, not to mention even getting it prepared looked a bit intimidating haha! x
 
Hello everybody
B. Raspberries and cream

L.slice of ham with Greek salad

D. Will be steak cooked in the oven with onions , mushrooms and gravy served with cauliflower, broccoli and carrots.

@TracyC I googled celeriac and there was a utube clip which showed easiest way to peel it. @debrasue has put some superb celeriac recipes on the low carb recipe thread.
