Hi, good to read you had a good journey, I’m yet to try a quiche but I have just placed a lo dough order, I’m down to my last pack, so a quiche will be on the menu at some point next week.
 
Evening everyone,
Lots of rain showers today and more forecast for the weekend, I’ve ordered some wellies just in case, farm and rain not a good combination for Sunday!
B 2 slices of livlife with peanut butter, coffee with cream
L cucumber, 3 hotdog sausages wrapped in bacon, mayo dip and 2 Keto cheese crackers
My smoothie with a couple of cherries when I got home from work
D prawn curry with boiled eggs, cauliflower rice, clafoutis with cream, this was delicious, I halved the recipe and it was enough to make 6 mini loaf size portions, 2 cherries in each and a sprinkle of almond flakes on top

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: 2 x boiled eggs with Marmite soldiers made from a slice of HiLo followed by Greek yoghurt and raspberries.
Mid-afternoon: lemon chia pudding and black coffee.
Dinner: cold sweet chilli chicken with cauliflower and broccoli salad, pork scratchings and coleslaw followed by SF jelly, cream and a spoonful of LC chocolate granola.
Looking forward to dinner out at Jamie’s tomorrow for my birthday, 21 again! ;):joyful::hilarious:

@shelley262 can I ask how you made the filling for your lo dough quiche? I’ve never made a low carb one, I’m assuming eggs and thinking of replacing milk with cream???
 
Breakfast - overnight oats (25% coconut at least, plus chia seeds and made with coconut milk)

Lunch - eggs, bacon, tomatoes. SF jelly

Dinner - home made chilli with tiny portion of brown rice. SF jelly

Snack - fat Friday treat of a Wispa!

(I'm low carbing as I'm just on the cusp of prediabetic - I used to eat a chocolate bar or two every day so this is progress! I've also lost 8lb)
 
Bed 3.8 FBG 4.1 - must try picky dinner again if this is what happens. No 1 grandson decided he wanted swimming today and since the Club had been closed for maintenance up to Wednesday seemed like a good idea - 2 hrs 30 mins swimming. Thank goodness the water was warm.
B. Slice of Tesco high protein bread with pate pate the tasty salmon one.
L. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
A lo dough pretendy Maccy D breakfast wrap. Been a while since I made one - still pretty good.
D. 1/2 avocado, Tesco prawn cocktail, anchovies and 5 mini plum tomatoes.
Scoop of Halo Top and 2 bits Lindt 90%.
Just to repeat the Pretendy Maccy D wrap.
1 lo dough. Spread with the no sugar ketchup or some suitable tomato spread. Top with a slice of boiled ham. Make a mini omelette with one egg. Put on top of the ham. Top with grated cheese. Wrap and then I toast for 3 mins in the George. I've been securing the wrap with a wooden skewer until it is "toasted". Works in a griddle pan too.

Hi @jayney27 I cooked in butter one finely chopped spring onion, two slices of finely chopped streaky bacon, a couple of tomatoes ( took skins off when cooked) and cooled. I then whisked up three eggs and I think about 150mls of double cream and generous amount of vintage cheddar cheese plus Dash of mustard and salt and pepper. Oven on 160fan. Used a silicone sandwich tin, buttered it a lot, pressed one lodough into tin and pushed it out to cover tin then added the bacon mix to bottom then added eggs, cheese and cream mix and cooked for 40mins. It rises and then flattens a bit after cooking. I would have put some mushrooms in too but had run out! I can’t believe how good it is tbh. I’ve always liked quiche and ok it’s not home made pastry but it it is acceptable especially if rich filling too. Good luck and enjoy

Hi all

Happy birthday @Rachox

@shelley262 glad you had a good journey to your mums.

Today’s menu was

Breakfast - none

Lunch - Lidl protein roll with bacon

Dinner - GBK burger with buttered cabbage followed by lazy dessert of extra thick double cream mixed with almond butter and 3 Hotel Chocolat 100% buttons

Are you ever going to exhaust the Lidl roll supply?? Green with envy.
 
Evening all
@jayney27 I’ve always used 1 (or 2 eggs depending on size) per 1/4 pt cream for quiche. That’s the basic custart and you can bung in whatever fillings you fancy with a large handful of grated cheese.

@Rachox hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow. I love Jamie’s.
@shelley262 I’m glad it’s all going smoothly with your mum
@maglil55 so glad you have managed to get a private nurse to come in for your sister now,

My bgs are still gently rising irritatingly - thought I had this thing cracked a couple of weeks ago!
I decided Im not going to eat unless bg is <6 which meant today I didn’t eat til 4pm. I was ravenous by then - especially having taken grandaughters to a party and sat through the pizza tea without even a nibble.
Few cups of tea with almond milk and coffee with cream during the day.
4pm leftover scraps of pork from yesterday - I’m sure I put a whole plateful in the fridge last night!
D: a sausage, lamb chop, mushrooms, small fried tomato and a fried egg. 2 glasses red.

Thank you, I’m planning on cheese, tomato and onion as this was always my favourite, just wasn’t sure if it would work with cream as a replacement for the milk, I have some bacon so may add that too. Thank you for sharing your recipe x

Thank you for sharing, I used to make quiche a lot a long time ago, just wasn’t sure cream would work in place of milk, as that’s what I used to use. Hope your numbers come down a little bit for you, it’s so upsetting when they rise despite being careful isn’t it? I get frustrated, annoyed and quite upset.

B: ginger tea
L: FF Greek Yogurt, raspberries, black coffee, decaff
D: beef bolognaise, courgette spagetti
3 litres water during the day

Today
B: ginger and lime tea
