Ooh recipe for lemon cream cheese pancakes please:hungry:
Click to expand...

The basic recipe is:
80g full fat cream cheese,
3 eggs,
half teaspoon baking powder
a teaspoon of psyllium husk
all whizzed together (I use a stick blender) and let it rest for 5-15 mins before frying in coconut oil or butter (or both). It makes three pancakes

For lemon pancakes its the basic recipe above but I add the grated zest of half a lemon and a few drops of vanilla essence
Then, when the pancakes are cooked, sprinkle with lemon juice and sweetener to taste.

You can use the basic recipe to make all kinds of different flavours - lime and coconut, chocolate, cinnamon, plain vanilla with blueberries, or add a savoury filling. .
 
Today:

Breakfast: Coffee with double cream
Lunch: Lime and coconut creamcheese pancakes
Tea (at work): Usual half bag of mixed salad leaves, this one has got rocket and lambs lettuce, the other half of yesterday's chilli, soy and ginger chicken breast chunks, avocado and 6 cherry tomatos
Supper (at home): salami topped with a little cream cheese.

This is a normal work day menu for me and I'm finding my bg is really steady at between 4.9 and 5.4 all day
 
B: cup of tea, splash of whole milk, three tablespoons full fat greek yoghurt
L: Coop hot smoked salmon, rocket, spinach watercress, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, drizzle of olive oil
Later for dinner: omelette grated cheese and ham, steamed courgette, broccoli and cauliflower
And strawberries and extra thick double cream and a square of Lindt 70% and a glass of Shiraz.
 
B: sunflower and pumpkin seeds, coffee with cream
L: corgette spaghetti with soya mince, tomato sauce, parmesan
D: probably cauliflower cheese
S: BlackBerrys and cream, nuts.
