Like the sound of the pumpkin seeds and almonds, (haven't got any, but... never heard of "chocologic neopolitans" the "cracked black pepper cheddar" cheese sounds amazing - did you have that just on it's own? I do that with brie sometimes, but I've only got a tiny bit left, I love it with baby piccolo tomatoes too. Think I might line that up for today's lunch or a snack.
Turkey Bolognaise I have stashed in the freezer... what is "cheesy cauli rice"? I bought some cauli rice and I don't like it - cheesy-ness sounds like it might salvage those packs I mistakenly bought.

I don't know about cheesy, but I rescued cauli rice when I learned to dry fry it with garlic salt and coriander, nice and slow, until it just starts to go brown.
Alternatively, mix it with eggs and spread on a baking tray in the oven to make a halfway decent tortilla. http://www.recipegirl.com/2014/05/05/cauliflower-tortillas/

What sort of Coriander? Leaf or ground? Ground I can manage, leaf makes me throw up. Until it browns eh? Interesting, I wonder what freshly ground nutmeg would do to it... I like nutmeg..
Tortilla? Wow! Now that sounds very interesting indeed, I happen to have a fair amount of eggs at the moment... I'd need a silicone baking tray I think, hey! a great reason to nip off to Dunelm! I need to replace a broken latte glass with a fancy purple handle anyway - quick before they stop stocking them! maybe half browned and half with the egg, just to test both out? Hmmm (thinking aloud)...
What would you serve with those two?

Yesterday I had:
B: Avocado/tomatoes/cucumber + red pepper hummus with 2 slices of my nut bread. 2 freshly brewed coffee with soya milk and one small glass of home-made coconut kefir
L: 2 egg mushroom omelette + salad
D: Pork chop on a bed of braised leeks and garlic with stir-fried sprouts, spinach and home-made sauerkraut

Unless I'm eating out, I make everything from scratch (the joys of being retired!)

Type 2, controlled by diet and exercise. No dairy/no alcohol and trying hard to be low-carb...

I made a big tortilla and used it as a pizza base. I use leaf coriander, but I see no reason for you to stick to that. I bet rosemary would be nice, or whatever herb you want!

People who think they know everything.
This is probably my last post for a few days. I'm going away with work for the whole weekend to a 'rustic' wooden lodge next to a lake somewhere fairly remote (why so I volunteer for these things???) and I'm not sure about internet access - nor about the type of food I'm going to be eating. :( it's going to have to be low carb as I haven't got any insulin to take with me but I doubt I'll be weighing it and calculating calories. I'm taking packets of ham, cooked chicken and sliced roast beef with me, just in case.

Today: FBG: 5.4 :)

Breakfast: Apro Coconut Yoghurt with Jordan's Chocolate Caramel Truffle sugar free syrup

Lunch: Roast chicken thigh, roast cauliflower, spinach and mangetout ans gravy.

Work meal: Ham, hard boiled egg, lettuce, cucumber,cherry tomatoes and mayo

Snack: 25g Lidl 81% Chocolate

Parsley. I've got a fresh bunch of that. Pizza made of eggy cauliflower tortilla sounds nice, kinda. I could have a lot of fun putting things on the top. Have to be dinner now though, I was just searching for the info on a pkt of scampi I had in the freezer, (someone having mentioned that in here somewhere) using the barcode scanner in the MyFitnessPal app on my phone - didn't work, it had the amount wrong. So that was no help.
L: But while divvying around in the freezer, I got tempted by a Chicken Margarita Melt, slammed it in the microwave, shoved a dish of frozen peas and half a tin of sweetcorn in after it, and yummmmmmmm!
Too many bad things in there to think about really, but I haven't tested that yet, so I'll check in an hour or so...
Pack info didn't sound so bad but potatoes, AND the sauce? Plus that sweetcorn... tut tut tut.

Pate? Hey, I can have pate? Weeeheee!
All types of pates are a regular part of my LCHF regime.Just check the carb count as they can vary quite a bit.For example any with caramelised onions are probably best avoided.Other than that fill yer boots! Don't forget Salmon, trout or crab pates and mushroom pate makes a nice change.
I like pates with cucumber batons,some like to fill celery but I am not a celery fan myself.If you can get hold of the fabulous low carb high protein rolls from Lidl,slice them up really thinly, bake in the oven at 140 C for 10 minutes and voila,great low carb crackers.Fantastic with butter and pate.
Also don't forget cheese.....all types of cheese......god bless the cheese makers!!
