What have you eaten today?

Not open for further replies.
On waking: 6 cashews
Breakfast: a splendid cooked breakfast. I asked for bacon and scrambled eggs, then had to 'save' Mr B from the horrors of black pudding and buttered mushrooms. Plus small latte.
Lunch: not necessary
Snack: lemon blobby thing
Dinner: the latest moussaka incarnation. Best yet.

May have also had a spoonful of mashed potato. Mr B had ALL the rest. Yes, my saintly status is (almost) intact.
 
I haven't eaten this today, but it was delicious the other evening.

Lemon Pepper Chicken, with Coconut Crust

Chicken breast, skin removed.

On a plate, mix dessicated coconut with lemon pepper, then roll chicken breast it it; as you would applying breadcrumbs. There is no need to dip the chicken in egg, as the mixture sticks well enough.

Heat good quality oil of your choice. Add chicken and slowly shallow fry until cooked, turning once. Once very nearly done, turn up the heat in order to "toast" the coating.

Serve with accompaniments of your choice. We usually have is with salad and home made coleslaw.

If coconut is not your thing, it is equally good with just the lemon pepper.

Enjoy!

@ cold ethyl
Coconut milk 1 tin
1 tbsp red curry paste
Meat of choice / fish ( belly pork seems best)
1 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tbsp palm sugar
2 tbsp tamarind concentrate water
Morning Glory ( Thai one best, pak bung)
A few Kaffir Lime leaves

Put coconut milk in saucepan and bring it to boil
Then put in curry paste, stir
Slice meat to small pieces and put in, simmer for 20 mins in low heat
Put in rest of ingredients apart from glory, stir
Then put in glory and cook for a further 10 mins approx.

Think that's about right

And enjoy, if not blame my misses!!

Not sure how much palm sugar or the curry may raise BG

Would spinach be a good substitute for the morning glory? Not something I've ever seen and no Chinese supermarkets round here. Sounds delish though.

But the carbs are mainly from polyols which dont affect blood sugar.......I believe.

They are sainsburys own brand and dont affect my BG.

Polyols (with a few exceptions) do raise blood sugar, or cause a glycemic load (if you are Type 2?). It's the old "diabetic sweets" nonsense. Avoid.

Chuck the mash in the nearest volcano, young Brunneria Baggins. :-)
 
I had a limey dinner last night.

Dinner: Mushroom korma, spicy chickpeas, minty yogurt, coconut lime cauliflower "rice"
Pudding: individual key lime pie
Cocktail: lime southern comfort with lemonade

I think this is my favourite meal. I just need to find a suitable starter and I will have nailed my "Come Dine With Me" menu :D
 
Two fried eggs, half slice burgen, two sausages. Coffee

2.5 oatcakes with Boursin and a few choc covered nuts

Salami, smoked cheese, more Boursin, olives, Brie, salad, the other half slice of burgen with butter.

Carbwise I think I've done rather well. Just waiting for my cardiac arrest!!

If I get dragged along, I have a double cheeseburger without the bun and a diet coke til I can grab something at home. Mind you, the other day I got away with a whopper (although only had half the bread)
