What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[PenguinMum]

Remains of the dessert, you’ll have to imagine the rest! Lol

Hi All had such a fun day with the gathering of the clan yesterday. My soon to be DIL had a bad migraine and didnt come but sent home a t/a pack with youngest son. The only photo I have @DJC is the Ras al Hanout cauli salad which was the biggest hit and was easy and made according to my memory of eating it out. I made a paste of the spice and olive oil and massaged the florets and put them in a medium over for 15 mins, added a little water from the kettle so they didnt dry up too much. They came out al dente and added can of drained chickpeas, pomegranate seeds and blobs of natural yogurt and goats cheese, topped with mint leaves. I baked salmon fillets with herby butter in tin foil and made a Med veg pasta bake (using the 50/50 allocation) with a thick cheesey top, Jersey Royals baked with fresh rosemary and English asparagus drzzled with OO, seasoned and 15 mins in oven. It was all such an easy “put everything in the oven”. I got a chocolate roulade from Cook and added lots of mini eggs and a huge bowl of berries. I am afraid I tried to be good but drank too much French rose wine and the chickpeas etc(?) and though I dodged dessert I did snaffle a few or more mini eggs (the ones with crispy shell).

Today its just the two of us so will bbq tonight enough for two days and use up the leftovers from yesterday. Hopefully it will be a couple of relaxing days in the sunshine with easy relaxing food. Happy Easter everyone.

@PenguinMum, where was my invitation????? My mouth is still watering!

Hey Rosemary my daily diet is one of the most predictible and boring ones on here usually.

Had my meal of ratatouille with a couple of fried eggs at about 3.30 and I was hoping that I wouldn't want anything more today, but I am hungry, so I might have to rethink that.

I also stirred myself out of my stupor because I kind of imagined a new dish of fried onion and courgette in a mustard and cream sauce. I'm sure it isn't completely original but I haven't seen, or heard of, it before. Not sure what to do with it. Probably will work as a side dish with some sausages. I'll have to store it until I get some sausages. Might work with some bacon, of course - I have some of that. Tomorrow maybe.

@DJC3 saw your question about monkfruit. I used to get it from here: https://www.luckyvitamin.com/p-1999974-lakanto-monkfruit-classic-sweetener-8-29-oz seems it’s on offer at the moment at under £6.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Atkins bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a phd bar.
Dinner: same as yesterday LCFC pizza with coleslaw, radishes and cherry tomatoes followed by SF strawberry jelly and cream.
Eaten more than my one or two squares of 85% chocolate today, I usually eat it after I post here! However today I needed some comfort food as I have developed shingles and it’s so uncomfortable

 

[MrsA2]

Pretty poorly here. Thinks it's covid. Will test tomorrow. Means our holiday due to start Wednesday is very probably off

Boys are waiting on me in bed so lunchtime had yoghurt seeds and blueberries
Mid afternoon a piece lc cake
Supper was 2 scrambled eggs with 2 rashers bacon, and 2, yes 2 scoops icecream
Drinking a full cup of herbal tea every hour, Vicks on chest, tissues every five minutes

Both cats have decided my bed is the place to be, so there's 3 of us up here

Chocolate is allowed at easter as it is a good excuse as any.

Hope you can shake the shingles off really quick, a friend of mine has still got it lingering on her face and neck after a year.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Bacon and two egg and cheese omelette, slice toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Spicy buttered hot ✓ bun for smoko, glass of lemon / lime cordial with a large scoop of osmolax mixed in.
Seafood marinara mix in a spagbol type sauce, small portion of reheated pasta spirals for lunch.
Scrambled eggs on toast for supper at six.

Felt a lot better yesterday (Saturday), my gut is not as bad as it has settled down a bit better with the larger size Fentanyl 50 mcg/hour patch, that my pharmacy delivered yesterday morning after phoning my GP up.

I'm having keto pizza bowls for dinner ( you won't even miss the crust!!) And a glass of red wine for dinner.

Thank you, unfortunately the golden monkfruit is sold out there too, and that’s the only one I like. I had this trouble the last time I tried to buy some over a year ago. Everywhere seemed to be out of the golden one. I’ve added my email address to the waiting list though, so hopefully it’ll be back in stock soon.

So is it just a bowl of melted cheese and pizza toppings? I’m intrigued.

 

[DJC3]

Hugs @Rachox for shingles, I’m sure it’s more than ‘uncomfortable’ I hope it clears up soon.
More hugs to @MrsA2 for covid symptoms, keeping my fingers crossed for your holiday this week.
Yesterdays food:
B- 2 fried eggs on a slice of cheese and wilted spinach, ginger and turmeric sauerkraut.
L- Turkey slices, celeriac remoulade, lettuce, flowed by a DGF cake
D- airfried chicken thighs with roast veg. 2 glasses dry white wine.

When I had shingles, I found aloe vera gel very soothing.

I know this is offtopic but thought it might be helpful

Had 1st meal about 11.30. It was some more of the ratatouille with a couple of fried eggs on top. Still have another serving of the ratatouille to use. Might add some peas and some kind of meat (chicken possibly) to make a kind of minestrone (without the pasta) for tomorrow.

I thought I had some gammon steaks in the freezer but searched for it last night and couldn't find it, but I did find a pre-baked chunk of gammon and it's defrosting ready for my 2nd meal today of gammon and courgette in mustard sauce with some quickly cooked cabbage in butter.

The reason I was looking for ways of cooking courgettes was that I asked Neil to buy me one moderately sized courgette but all he could get was a pack of 3 very large courgettes, so I'm looking for ways to use them up before they go off. Still have one to use so am trying to invent something for that and am thinking in terms of something layered with onion, tomato and another vegetable, the name of which escapes me at the moment (it's white, turnippy kind of thing - not kohl rabi, often used instead of potato). You know the one I mean. My memory often fails me this way - worse these days than it used to be, but I've always had problems this way.

Just looked it up - celeriac!

I like zucchini/courgette fritters as a base for a poached egg and a bit hollandaise. Lots of recipes online, I usually use the one on Once upon a chef site but I use a bit of ground flaxseed instead of flour. The fritters freeze well too.
