Coffee and unsweetened almond milk x 3
Cottage cheese too much!
Onion flakes
Ham and mustard
Cherry Tomatoes
 
Still away! Burger night tonight! I’ve learnt over my diabetes years that bread (unless it’s low carb) raises my levels more than chips, so I had a beef and chicken burger with bacon and cheese plus coleslaw, salad and chips (just a small portion), I gave away my burger bun.

I’ve found that if I ask for no bun when the order is taken it is usually substituted with more lettuce or tomato slices without having to ask for anything different or dispose of a rogue bun.

Look, I made your Welsh rarebit today!
It took a while because my supermarket was out of Worcestershire sauce, but yesterday I found it in a different store, and even the Lea&Perrins brand. :)

I absolutely love it, this will be my new go to meal on don't want to cook days. Very quick and easy, and very tasty, thank you!

I was listening to a recent excellent podcast by Dr Ranjan Chatterjee where he interviews the well known Low carb GP Dr Unwin who mentioned his family often mixing a few frozen raspberries into yoghurt to make an instant frozen delicious desert.It made me remember what a lovely quick and easy pudding it is. Podcast well worth a listen for us low carb eaters:

How does this work?
Simply add frozen berries to yoghurt from the fridge and stick a stick mixer in?

Today was the first BBQ of the year!
With neighbour-in-the-garden and my troubled new tenant.
Not sure if it's a male thing, but I absolutely love a BBQ with people who think that spareribs for starters, pork tenderloin for mains, pork belly for dessert, and a couple of olives in between is a perfectly balanced meal. If no potato salad or bread with garlic butter is available, I don't have to do the mind gymnastics of weighing pros and cons, or try to get my dose right. :joyful:

@Antje77 no blender for the quick frozen yoghurt - just use a spoon to mix a few frozen berries with a few spoons of natural Greek yoghurt in your bowl. As you mix the two together the cold from the frozen berries thickens the yoghurt and turn it berry coloured as the berries thaw! Frozen fruit naturally goes mushy as it thaws and often frozen raspberries, in particular, are quite small so quickly become soft!
