D is going to be roast chicken pie ( no pastry for me). Sweetcorn cauli cheese mushroom and leek gravy ( v nice if you fancy trying it)
 
Scrambled egg spelt toast

Snack soy latte and 3 sqs dark chocolate
Dinner pub quiz night so steak salad and a few communal chunky chips
 
I didn't make my soup in the end @Avocado Sevenfold, I couldn't be bothered. I might do it tonight before the stuff goes out of date.

L: almost gave in to the temptation of steak and dumplings, but had tuna salad instead. I also got a small mullerlight yoghurt and was shocked at the carb count :-o
D: will have 2 burgers and some stuffed mushrooms
 
change of plan as pub quiz venue closed so just about to have a lamb and spinach curry ready meal with one onion bajhia. had it once before and ok so fingers crossed- couldn't make anything as fridge empty ready for big shop tomorrow.

My mum convinced me that if I boiled an onion for an hour then drank the water, it would cure my cough. Tried it. She must really hate me :wideyed:

I'm sure you have already tried or had the usual manuka honey and lemon tea, but I always add vinegar and cinnamon to it, it soothed my throat over Christmas, that and paracetamol :)

Spot the not-deliberate mistakes ... not today, but back when I was trying SO hard to follow the NHS "moderate carbs" plan. An extract from my meals diary ...

Sunday
Breakfast: Apple & veg smoothie. Slice of rye bread & peanut butter. Coffee.
Lunch (picnic): wholewheat pasta, 5-bean & olive salad with olive oil, vinegar & mint dressing; green salad with sweet peppers, roast pine nuts & diced chicken. Cheddar sandwich, tomatoes & h/b egg. Tea, coffee, water.
Evening (7.30): smoothie, as at breakfast. Omelette & rye bread with spread. Half a banana.
Later: tea, milk.

Monday
Breakfast: (fresh) bread & Marmite. Bread & peanut butter. Coffee.
Lunch (picnic with friends): fish 'n' chips with vinegar & ketchup. Fizzy lemonade.
Snack: prunes (2); nuts.
Evening (picnic, 6pm): chicken sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes. Apple & veg juice.

Wonder what the meter would have registered with that lot?

Help, probably!
 
Dairy/nut free day. Trying to keep my metabolism on its toes o_O

B: 3 egg omelette
L: stinky green soup (onion, leek, cauli, cabbage, green lentils), a Meyer lemon
D: chickpea and veg curry, coconut lime cauli rice, pineapple veggie jelly

A bit hungry now, tbh. Will go to sleep and dream of cheese for breakfast :hungry:

@Weird Science I haven't tried manuka honey, but read a lot of remedies on the net that contained honey so I guess it works. Sounds a bit carby. Just riding it out (and sleeping with an onion next to my bed. Seriously, it works)
 
Not posted for a while maybe cos I have carbed out over xmas....
 
Wow, I discovered chia seeds today! I hope they are low carb! Got the idea from my son's Christmas present to me of a veggie cookbook. :bookworm:
I haven't eaten them yet, they are processing in the fridge: :eek: :eek:.
Following 2 recipes, I made a sugar-free dessert to eat with a few berries :)
and a no-sugar jam. :)
All being well,:confused: I'll report back after a tasting.
 
Monday:

B: 2 boiled eggs, coffee with cream
L: scrambled eggs with cheese and spring onion, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, Halloumi, mushrooms, aioli.
Snack: almonds and a few cashews
D: lamb shank soup out of my mother in law's freezer - had a fair few potato pieces in but I didn't eat them.

I just got a "one year trophy" :woot: Yes, one year ago today I joined this forum!

In one year I have gone from "What on Earth am I going to to eat?" :wideyed: To "What on Earth am I going to eat?" :hungry: That's because now I am spoiled for choice!

Congratulations!! I haven't been here long, but so glad I joined all you lovely people... :) I travel extensively with our company so sometimes don't manage to log in for a week or more, but I love catching up... I would have taken forever to work all the food out for myself... such a support and a blessing, really... :)

Toed (our 6 toed inbred ex farm cat) was such a gaumless hunter that his biggest ever trophies were
  • A half-eaten cooked sausage
  • A road kill squirrel (we knew it was road kill because it had been flattened so many times it looked like a miniature tiger skin rug, complete with sticky out tongue)
  • A woolly hat
How he managed to live to 19 with so few brain cells remains a mystery.

Apple cider vinegar, warm water and manuka honey is brilliant for infections - it is so soothing when you're poorly... It helps with sinus problems too... I have cinnamon and turmeric every day in my smoothies - I'm hoping it will help me with my BG... My bother swears he's lost his foggy brain and the pain from his feet since he's been taking them.. :)
 
Breakfast: smoothie - 2 tbsp full fat Greek yoghurt, blueberries, strawberries, coconut water, chia powder, Super Greens, hemp powder, milled flax/sunflower/pumpkin/sesame seeds... Double espresso with cream:
Snack: Single decaf espresso with cream: 2 thin slices almond bread spread with a thin layer hazelnut butter, piled on creamy goat's cheese and a teaspoon of Turkish Black Cherry jam with vanilla.... lush... :)
Lunch: Scrambled eggs and bacon
Dinner: Large green pepper stuffed with pricked lamb mince, onion, garlic and a little diced carrot... pudding is a lemon mug cake with cream...
Supper: 2 tbsp chia seed porridge with berries and a little cream - I need to see what I can do to get my morning BG down...
During the day my BG is almost always 6 - 6.4 - sometimes lower than that all day... I am trying to raise the BG a bit during the day to see if it helps with my early morning spikes... I tried the carbs and cheese the night before and it doesn't seem to help, much as I enjoyed it.. :)
 
B: 2 boiled eggs, coffee with cream
L: Serrano ham, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, bit of feta and avocado, dollop Mayo.
D: 2 lamb chops, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, celery, onion, mushrooms, bit of beetroot, dollop Mayo.

I too struggle with morning levels. Unfortunately the only way I can control it is by being super careful what I eat and drink the day before, as it has a knock on effect. Alcohol especially makes me higher in the mornings. I always try to have a snack 1 hour within going to bed and sometimes a spoonful of apple cider vinegar. I try to have something to eat an hour within waking (and sometimes another apple cider vinegar shot!). To get me stable, I find coconut oil in a smoothy or coffee works great too.
 
Sorry, meant to reply to your second post - doh!
