congrats on surviving the carnivore month. I was thinking about you (still on a song theme) as hubby had the New Seekers going on Roxi and I found myself singing "Now the carnivore is over".
The cream cheese Icing I use from this recipe could work as it uses granulated sweetener. You'll need cream cheese but if you don't have yoghurt some double cream works.
Yes , I have it a little runny as I use it more as a drizzle but it's a good flexible icing. I have been known to melt a little chocolate and drizzle a design over the "icing".
Hi @maglil55 I thought I hadn’t seen you for a couple of days.I have a bit of a catch up again. @PenguinMum the bread toasts fine although I did it in my grill rather than the toaster. It made the seeds even more visible. I had 2 slices this morning, toasted , hot and with butter melting on them! I'm in heaven (shades of Fred Astaire there)
@Goonergal - congrats on surviving the carnivore month. I was thinking about you (still on a song theme) as hubby had the New Seekers going on Roxi and I found myself singing "Now the carnivore is over".
@jayney27 welcome back and @DJC3 so glad all your family made it through safely. We have a very slight covering this morning but it will be gone soon ( one of the advantages of living near the sea). Anyway, I think the last time I posted food wise was Tuesday.
Wednesday
Bed 7 FBG 6.7 - no idea why and I got I rise to 9.6! Came down again though. Must have your problem now @Chook.
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. That was it. I ended up with an unintentional OMAD as the pool reopened so I got No 2 to school then went back for No 1 & Mum to get them to swimming.
L. Nothing
D. My version of the DD fish and chips - cod loin cut into chunks and coated with my varying "crumb" coat. Today it was Almond flour, parmesan, black pepper, flax, sesame seeds, parsley. As crisp as ever. Served with veggie chips and homemade curry tartare sauce. A few berries and cream after.
Thursday
Bed 6.9 FBG 6.2 but still got a rise to 8.6 before it turned so better than yesterday. Back to the early school start. It's going really well. It's also Aqua Zumba day.
B. Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream. A couple of Tesco's chorizo and gouda rollitos and the herby cream cheese ball (Just 1) before heading off to Aqua. Arrived at Aqua to discover I'd forgotten my swimsuit! Not wanting to frighten everyone by wearing only aqua shoes I nipped back to reception to see if they had swimsuits for sale. They did but biggest was 2 sizes smaller than I wear. I know current suit is a bit loose so I gave it a go and it fits! Comfortably too.
L. Cheered by my drop in swimsuit size , skipped lunch and went back to cupboard clearing, tip visit etc.
D. Hubby made broth for him and the boys - I battered out a chicken breast and dressed it with yesterday's "crumb" , fried then topped with thinly sliced avocado, slice of gouda and melted under the grill. Served with veggie chips and a scoot of Nando's perinnaise. Few mixed berries and halo top.
My other thought with the chicken breast was it would benefit from a little bit of pineapple under the cheese. Not the best fruit I know but cut very thin and not a lot it should be doable.

Hi, no I don’t think so, I always chose the roasted version as I thought it sounded nicer, however about a month ago I asked my partner to pick some up for me and he came home with the unroasted one, I actually prefer it the taste is stronger. X@ianpspurs if you promise not to brandish your haggis at me I will tell you oh sure, Tom Brady can do it again. Question is, will it be Sunday? And will he retire on laurels if he does? Why are you eliminating cream?
My 2 cents on the lc-is-cheaper- In my world, it’s the opposite pricing! Only the very cheapest cuts of our very limited selection of meats are affordable for many, and not often. Paycheck-to-paycheck families can better afford a sale on store brand canned ravioli than they can fresh lc pasta, any real cheese, and sauce ingredients. Canned veg very much cheaper than fresh. Flour, cornmeal, sugar for baking are all cheaper than meat (might be wrong on that). Cheap white bread to put your peanut butter on is much cheaper than anything with lc ingredients. And then you’re out of money anyway so a $.59 two-liter bottle of coke is much much cheaper than the equivalent dairy milk, and chips (crisps) are cheapest for snacks. And 90% chocolate?? Dream on. For myself, if I were a meat eater my grocery bill would skyrocket. As it is, the greens and celery and tomatoes and mushrooms and celeriac ($$$$$) are killing me! ....
Maybe Amazon has those piggy pop things. I think they’re “as seen on tv” brand, maybe. And congrats on your carnivory run!!!!
— random interesting taste discovery! This summer on vacation I was addicted to a particular brand and flavor of seltzer water. Came home, bought store brand same flavor. It tasted like swamp water. Gave the rest away. Just found a stray can, popped it, and lo and behold it tastes completely good. Is this a “sugar’s out of my system” change? Weird.
. @PenguinMum I hope plain old seltzer isn’t included! I’ll happily make any month fizz-free if I can have seltzer!
@jayney27 is there something special about unroasted vs roasted almonds as milk?
@Emma_369 woweeee! You are indeed within reach of your goal, congratulations!!
@BibaBee what an amazing cake; you are some kind of baker!!! Plz send pics of baby with face planted in cake when nap hits
