I had a slice of a microwave bun toasted with goat's cheese...
Three more slices (the whole bun by now) toasted and buttered with fresh crab pate and lettuce - wonderful...
a snack of roasted artichoke hearts, cold salmon, cold broccoli and green beans, goat's cheese chillies stuffed with cream cheese, and horseradish... sounds more like a banquet really, doesn't it? :)
Supper will be sausages, scrambled egg and bacon I think...
and I shall have a hot chocolate for bedtime... with a spoon of peanut butter... :) sigh... :)

On holiday again, hurrah!!
Yesterday:
B: can't remember plus coffee with cream
L: chunk of German smoked cheese and four baby toms
D: out for tea: canapés, amuse bouche (mushroom summat or other), beef with an assortment of accompaniments and cauliflower cheese, rhubarb and custard. After all that my bg was only 7 two hours after :) I think this is due to the fresh cooked produce and quantities of butter!

Today I am going cold turkey on yoghurt and cream. For the first time I have tried coconut oil and butter in my coffee and think this will make a good substitute.

This sounds like a stupid question, but is it safe to take my insulin with just coffee and coconut oil/butter or do I have to have food?

Cauliflower Bread:
1 cauliflower - put it in the blender with a clove of garlic
mix in 2-3 eggs, 100grammes grated cheese or parmesan, pinch of oregano & basil
turn out onto baking tray lined with greaseproof paper (pat down & shape)
cook in oven 40mins @170C (325F)
turn over (turn out onto another baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, removing the original greaseproof paper)
cook for a further 20 mins
remove from the oven and cool on a cooling rack
simples!
excellent as a pizza base :)

I'm just about to make some more - yum...!

Thank you... sounds fantastic... I haven't had time to do anything very exciting.. builders in and a new kitchen to sort out... I'm exhausted! :)
 
B - My usual Greek yoghurt with fresh blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, flaked almonds and flaxseed - BS+2 = 6.1
L - ham salad with avocado, lettuce, toms, pinenuts. BS+2 = 5.6
D- homemade cauliflower cheese with green salad. Berries with clotted cream

Snack - slice of homemade savoury slice fresh out the oven made with minced beef, bacon and Emmenthal cheese - BS+2 = 7.1IMG-20150224-02331 (1).jpg
 
Last night, I made my favorite soup, Minestrone...

For lunch, I had a cup of soup with my ham, provolone, and pickle sandwich made with the 1 min flax bun. Today is day 17 on the LCHF diet. I got my lowest fasting BG yet, 131 (7.3 mmol) and I've lost 4.6 pounds (2.1 kilograms). :)

Here's how! I adapted it slightly, using baking parchment to wrap and bake it in, omitting the glaze and magic dust, but adding a dash of piri piri sauce and a teaspoon of onion salt. to the mince Its quick and simple to make and slices easily. Delicious hot and cold. Perfect for picnics and even parties. I got 20+ slices from it. Enjoy !

Ooh, that looks nice :p:p that's me licking my lips. Not many icons to choose from using the App.......
 
What DID I eat today, erm that'll be yesterday ....

Breakfast: Percy's pink porridge made with soya milk (one of two sachets in a lucky dip box I bought
Lunch: broth made with soya mince with diced Cheshire cheese stirred thru it
Tea: ready meal of chips, beans and a steaklet made by friend - portion size meant I was OK with carbs
Snacks: couple of lower carb cereal bars, chunk of mild cheddar

Actually, the bun is very nice sliced and toasted and topped with soft goat's cheese and avocado.... my husband bought me a posh toaster... it stops the little slices falling through and filling the house with smoke... :) I was so happy... :joyful: Little things...

How do you get away with it Sable? :cool:
 
Yesterday:
B: bullet coffee :-)
L: scrambled eggs
D: pork loin steaks with broccoli spears
Felt fine but started to become cold - thought it was just cos I was too lazy to turn the heating up :grin: However, took my bg before bed and it was 3.4 :shock: had a huge chunk of feta cheese but then I got a bit panicky as I should have had something quick acting - couldn't find my emergency biscuit so I ended up eating a packet of trebor mints :rolleyes: 6.2 an hour after
