Dinner will be a family buffet at mum's. I will make and take two dishes to ensure there is something I can eat. I'm an easy guest :angelic: Mexican mixed bean salad and mini cheese and onion almond muffins.

So you have a recipe for the muffins??
Cheese and onion muffins

Dry ingredients:
1.5 cups ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 teaspoons onion granules
Salt and black pepper
1 cup finely grated cheddar
(Additional grated cheddar for topping)

Wet ingredients:
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons double cream
2 tablespoons water
2 eggs

Mix dry ingredients. Mix wet ingredients. Mix wet and dry together.
Put into silicon muffin cups and top with a little grated cheese. Fill the cups only 2/3 full as the muffins rise a little.
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your muffin cups. 180 degrees.
Cool before eating. Can be frozen.

I made them with chives last time, but forgot today. Made 10 muffins sized 6.5cm at widest point.

Not being able to like beer anymore!!
I've been camping in the woods for the last two nights. I haven't kept exact records but ... avocados, babybels, bacon, sausage, steak. On Saturday we went to town, visited a restaurant and I had the best courgette soup ever followed by chicken with chorizo and tomato sauce. I even had a beer on Saturday night. Probably spiked my BS a bit, but I didn't take my meter into the woods so it doesn't count!

It all depends on where you are right now, what do you want to achieve and your personal circumstances and preferences.

Some people can eat about 100 a day, some others between 50-70, some choose to eat less than 30 or less than 20. It all varies from person to person.

I stay below 30-20grms a day but I have a lot of weight to lose.
