Not being able to like beer anymore!!
Amendment to my post earlier...
I'm not having buttered prawns and veg. Too late & too tired. I've nicked some more of my son's spicy breaded chicken (it seems I can cope with the carbs) and I'll have some more babybels for the fat.

Not the best meal, but I'm too tired to be bothered.

Hello @PerfectStorm . I'm sorry I seem to be having problems copying and pasting recipe. It was the low carb one minute chocolate mini cake from food.com. There is a search on the website or if you google it will come up. I'm sorry I could not get it to copy. Hope this helps:)

I did the chocolate one because it uses cocoa and therefore you don't need the flax meal. I don't like flax as it overpowers everything with its smell and taste.

Can anyone advise as to the carb value of croutons please?
I love Caesar Salad and you really need just a few to give a bit of crunch.
