What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Hi All
I am still away on Exmoor and food where we are staying is very nice. Softly scrambled eggs, mushrooms fried in butter and two halves of grilled tomato n the morning. Have had a half slice of brown toast with butter in an effort to get me through to supper.
Today I let the side down, everyone else was having very good ice cream and I gave in to one scoop of coffee flavour. Supper the first night was a tasty lamb steak with mixed veg. Last night it was scampi (I know took the chance) and salad. Didnt test after but my FBGs have been better than usual. Tonight its a carvery so that should be quite straightforward. Bg probably helped along by G&Ts and wine though!!
 
Evening all.

You know it’s your order coming out when the waitress at the cafe shouts, ‘person who ordered just clotted cream’!! That was at one of my favourite canal side venues near Brum. Very generous sized portion too.

Ahead of that breakfast at the hotel was omelette with onion, ham and cheese and a side of bacon. Actually so much bacon it wasn’t clear which was the side :D :hilarious:

Then a self-made dinner picked up at M&S on the way back to the hotel as I knew I wouldn’t want to go out again. Selection of Spanish cheese, ham and chorizo with pork crackling and tzatziki. Wanted bacon to dip in the Tzatziki but they’d sold out. The cracking and meat/cheese selection were in the 3 for £8 range and since they totalled £7.75, it seemed ridiculous not to buy something else, so there’s a whole pack of the same selection and the remaining Tzatziki in my little fridge. Tzatziki was yellow stickered and pretty clean ingredients.

Pudding was Greek yoghurt, cream and raspberries from Lidl - bought rather too much of each of those on my first day, so I’ll be eating it the rest of the trip.

Pic of the cafe venue included for good measure!

It was. The idea for the courgetti fritters just popped into my head. My sister used to make them but hers had flour in it. I thought about putting almond flour in but, they worked fine with beaten egg and parmesan.

Wings were air fried. I rubbed them with skinny sauce (sweet chilli).
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a PE bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and DGF cake.
Tea at ILs: cold meat, cheese and salad buffet followed by one Jaffa cake!
 
Sunday breakfast, egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, half sl8ced of seeded wholemeal bread, fried in bacon fat, black coffee.
No lunch, just iced coffee with coconut milk
Dinner, roast lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, savoy cabbage with cream and nutmeg, 2 baby carrots, gravy from meat juices, rather a lot of Merlot. :D. Much jollity with kin folks.
 
Brunch - scrambled eggs & cheese. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - beef stroganoff with cauliflower rice. Lidl creamy greek yoghurt topped with berries & half a banana. Large glass of lime pepsi max

This made me laugh a lot, I can just imagine it, and all the other diners looking round to see who.
 
@PenguinMum coffee ice cream was always my favourite. I hope you enjoyed every last lick.

I made @MrsA2 ‘s cauli cheesy thingy yesterday, and although I wasn’t too keen on it at first, it did make a cracking fried slice to go with my breakfast eggs so I’d thoroughly recommend it now.

Lunch was tinned tuna , lettuce toms, spring onion, ACV and Oo dressing. H/m yoghurt to follow.

Afternoon spent resisting delicious smelling pasties at a horse show. Brought friends back for dinner of roast chicken, roast veg ( aubergine, cauli, peppers, cherry toms) and strawberries and cream for pud. More wine than was sensible
DGF cookie when I got the munchies this evening.

I probably shouldn't tell you this, but Morrisons do an own label coffee latte icecream that is very tasty, and a small scoop (about a fifth of the pot) is about 14g carbs, and doesn't raise my bg if part of a full meal

It can be a bit soggy if your cauliflower rice is too moist, sometimes I have to cook it longer, and it can depend on how much seasoning you like and how strong the cheese is, but so worth doing as the resulting bake us so versatile, as you've found
 
Well, my tapas night caused me no end of problems in the night, might have had a bad prawn.

So no breakfast but lots of tasting as I made icing for a cake and made 14 rounds of sandwiches for visitors, all full carb.
I did eat 6 cheese crisps and a couple of mini sausages.

D: 1/4 of a coronation chicken sandwich in ordinary bread, extra of the filling which was lc as had made it myself, some cheese and olives and a very small slice of choclate cake.
Some white wine.

I've got out of step with my hm yoghurt making and now have a litre and a half ready to eat, eek! Some has been strained and is now so thick the spoon stands upright, and now have the whey too! Ideas for using it all please

Ah, and now I know why I didn't bother the first time I read it, ground almonds are ridiculously expensive!
Still, I might give it a go. :)

I grind my own in a coffee grinder, that way I can do the exact amount and no wastage
 
Three hard boiled eggs, two slices toastand vegimite for breakfast.
Roast roled loin pork, roast veggies including a couple of onions to wind up the neighbours with the smell for lunch.
Finished the pork off with a bit of mixed salad for supper at six.

Glass of single malt whisky before bed.
