What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[IanBish]

It may have looked like bolognese, but lunch was a defrosted minced beef curry with taglietelle. Apparently, according to my Maltese neighbour, they eat curry with pasta. I took a picture, but it came out blurry. And dinner, if you can call it that, was a Cornish pasty with Brussels sprouts. Not ideal, but I have a cold and didn't feel like cooking.

Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.

Nutty clusters sound very tempting what ratio of coconut oil to 100% chocolate did you use? Mind you may be too tempting!

I had a whole buttered one on an empty stomach last night. A peak of 7.4 mmol/L, but back down in around two hours. But it was nice. And it is Easter...!

I used this recipe: peaceloveandlowcarb.com/keto-chocolate-nut-clusters/ But you’re right they are very more-ish. I wouldn’t have attempted them if I hadn’t been intending to give most of them away! M&S do salted mixed nuts

Oh, I don’t think the link has worked - it’s on my CMT

Mid afternoon dinner of slow roast shoulder of lamb ( in oven overnight!) purple sprouting broccoli with chilli, garlic and lemon. Mixed greens with bacon and cauli cheese.
Daughter made me a low carb chocolate cake ( a late birthday cake)!which we had for dessert with clotted cream. Another daughter bought me a Montezuma’s AB Easter egg so I’ve just had a nibble of that too.

Lunch was a lamb shank in red wine gravy, with carrots, Brussels sprouts, green beans, and my weekly potato fix. It was all lovely. And later, for a snack, I had a buttered hot cross bun. That was lovely too.
