What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Coffee and cream
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Ham
Special chop Suey no noodles no rice just veg meat and prawn
 
Made a new stash of low carb mini naan breads today - two for dinner today and the rest packed and frozen. Here's the recipe I used to make 8 mini naan breads ( it's an adaptation of a Panda Pantry recipe)
In the mixing bowl add:
130g of yoghurt
275g of water
Put to one side the following weighed out dry ingredients:
100g of Panda Flour( it's their own mix of coconut flour, bamboo fibre and psyllium husks)
2g of easy mix yeast
7g of Bicarbonate of Soda
Weigh and melt 20g of salted butter or add a pinch of salt to melted unsalted butter and put to one side.
Using a mixer either stand mixer or electric hand held first lightly mix the yoghurt and water. Then slowly add in the dry ingredients and then the melted butter at the end. Knead with mixer or hands until a ball of dough

Rest covered in a warm place for 20 mins.
Then prepare a floured (panda flour) surface and rolling pin and weigh out into 8 equal pieces( mine weighed 74g each.)

Then lightly roll out each into a small shape

Then place all 8 rolled out naan breads on parchment paper to keep separated ready for freezing

I left two out to cook today and the rest were frozen in packs of two to keep in freezer for the next three curry nights!
They are cooked for about a couple of mins each side on a hot buttered griddle (if frozen I normally move a pack to defrost in fridge for a couple of hours before cooking)
Here is one of today's cooking

Dinner: takeaway local Chinese house special curry with three prawn crackers, tried and tested for blood sugars several times, fingers crossed they don’t change their recipe! (I leave a lot of the sauce).

Cheese&mushroom omelette for breakfast.
Lunch was a beef, cheese and dill pickle sandwich in low carb seedy bread then a DGF cake with thick cream.
Had quite a long and active afternoon so was pleased I’d made a lamb stew yesterday and left it in the fridge. Quick to reheat and filling.
Forgot photos again.

Breakfast kefir then bacon and egg
Made a low carb spiced fruit tea loaf this morning again using 20g of dried barberries, in place of usual dried fruit, which I'd soaked overnight in tea and a dash of brandy.

Lunch cheese and celery plus a buttered slice of my new LC tea loaf -I've became a fan of barberries - which are the fruit of the plant used for the supplement Berberine.
Dinner steak with onions and mushrooms and glass of red wine. Followed by hm LC chocolate brownie.
 
No breakfast as early dentist and hygienist appointments - nerves are not just about treatment but also cost these days! My fears were right as I need an expensive crown - I broke a tooth on a nut a few weeks ago.
Brunch kefir then a two egg omelette with cheese and pancetta filling.

Dinner cold roasted chicken, sausage, salads including the first outdoor tomatoes from my garden and a hm pepper salad. Followed by hm LC chocolate brownie.
I've bought the new Katie Caldesi diabetes air fryer Cookbook as it's low carb based with introductions from the Drs Unwin, it was on offer and appealed to me as I don't use my air fryer much - so thought it might inspire me. It arrived today and I put it into use straightaway as I had a bag of cheaper wonky peppers that I planned to use to make a charred peppers salad.I usually find it a real fiddle taking skins off and removing the seeds but following her method of charring using the air fryer ( rather than grill I usually use) and then her trick of putting the hot charred peppers in a bowl with a plate on top and leaving to cool made the job easy - the skins just slid off when cold. She suggests serving them on her cheat's labneh but I just added olive oil to peppers and will eat as a salad over next few days. Looking forward to adding in some of her low carb recipes to my menus over next few weeks.

Breakfast kefir then two poached eggs on low carb bread
Lunch - picnic,on a hike, a low carb wrap filled with Serrano ham and grated cheese.
Dinner same as yesterday so no photo - salads and cold cooked roast chicken and one sausage followed by hm LC lemon cake.
There are lots of wonderful ripe plump blackberries out now and picked lots so planning an experiment when baking on Thursday - I'm going to cook blackberries with lemon and use instead of the rhubarb and ginger I used in my low carb rhubarb upside down cake - think it should work and will post results on Thursday.
 
Oh dear not the best day.
Decided I would like a roll, not low carb.
Chicken and tomato Butter and rolls.....all day. Blood sugars not come down yet!!!!
I do love bread.......See why I shouldn't eat it.

Lunch celery and cheese with a few low carb seeded crackers followed by a few garden raspberries with spoon of yoghurt
Dinner two egg omelette with a filling of mushrooms, charred peppers and left over chicken ( cooked in separate pan initially before adding to omelette ) with sprinkle of cheese. Probably too much filling but delish!

@shelley262 am I right in thinking you have assembled cauliflower cheese and frozen in its uncooked state ready to pop in the oven once thawed?
I’ve been given a veg box, it has 2 cauliflowers in, Paul hates cauli and I’ll never eat 2 before they go manky.

Ps I’ve been temped by the Caldesi airfryer cookbook too, good to know it’s been useful so far.

Hi no I haven't assembled it to freeze - mainly because of space. I always open freeze the raw florets and then when frozen I pack into a bag and store in a bag to grab to cook.I just grab a few florets when ready to make, often just for me - I'm also married to a cauliflower hater! I would suggest if you have time before assembling you put the frozen florets you're using for a quick few mins in microwave and then get rid of water as it can make it a bit watery. I then just add cream, seasoning and cheese and pop in the oven.
Maybe give it a go with a small amount assembled and see how it works? Let us know if you do I'd be interested.
