Vegetarians: What have you eaten today?

Ledzeptt said:
I've received my blood test results:

Cholesterol slightly worse than last year (not a surprise based on my high calorie diet and lack of exercise due to illness):

HDL 1.0
LDL 3.8
Total/HDL 5.3

Hba1c 41 - this is down by 1 (which is a surprise given how ill/inflamed I've been over the past 3 months), so happy with that.

Those are brilliant results .. well done , nice to have good news .. you got a 41 :)
I have now have had 38 followerd by two 40's I do portion control diet and vary it from time to time
Congratulations again @Ledzeptt
 
Today .. was the aubergine curry from the fridge ..
It seems I cooked it without the curry spices ..:joyful:
I think I was cooking to many dishes at once ..and took a bit of a coffee break :)
A rather long coffee break :rolleyes:
 
Thanks @Kat100

Shame about your curry!

Today:

B: Porridge

L: Egg & beans on toast

D: Quorn fillet provencale with lentils & quinoa (the sauce was basically chopped toms with peppers, but tasty)

I've made "Jamie's granola dust" for breakfast. Very easy and a quick taste means I'm looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast. I know all the ingredients are high quality and there's no added sugar, but it's worked out to be twice the price of any commercial cereal!

Yes expensive all these diets ..
Your breakfast will be just great .. :)
I think I was so busy cooking the cauliflower cheese and making the soup , I missed the spices out ..
I will make up for it tomorrow, as tom still ate it .. I am so lucky x
Think it might be a chilli tomorrow
 
Look what I found, thanks to @Avocado Sevenfold...

Rarer than hen's teeth! Customers were being rationed to two packs each - who'd had guessed we'd be panic-buying courgettes?

No aubergines :-(

Supposedly going to be short supplies until April.

This is a veggie nightmare ..

I have made a lovely chilli for tonight ..
Even added the juice of a fresh lemon , before they become extinct xxx :woot:
 
@Ledzeptt Congratulations on your blood results and your haul of courgettes! My daughter managed to get me a bag of frozen courgettes in Morrisons last night as I am craving a load of roasted Mediterranean veg. Hope the frozen stuff doesn't go weird in the oven.

Might be going out for dinner tonight. I have just made @Kat100's fridge cake for later. First attempt. So far so good.
 
Thanks @Avocado Sevenfold and enjoy your night out and the cake.

B: Jamie's granola dust (very nice)

L: Hummus sandwich, quorn cocktail sausages & hula hoops

D: Pizza & salad

I'm still having golden milk every day; tend to have it before going to bed.
 
Yesterday

B: glass of almond milk and two big strawberries (was running late for work)

L: Lidl toast and hummus

D: went to Nando's for the first time. Had a veggie burger without mayo. I wasn't tempted by the white roll it came in - I think I am hard wired now to not eat white bread. Same can't be said for chips though! Lovely sprinkled with peri-peri seasoning. Ooops! I didn't test afterwards, but was 6.1 this morning so not worried. Kat's fridge cake is delicious!

I am hankering for Mediterranean veg so much at the moment. Must be all those news stories. Planning to roast a pile of random veg tonight :hungry:

Yes, I used the core ingredients of peanut butter, chocolate and coconut oil. Just chucked in anything else lying about. Cherries add a little sweetness - like a fruit and nut bar.

More cherries tonight in with my roast veg. Sounds weird, but is really nice.
