S 2 cheese strings
L homemade hungarian mushroom soup, sugar free jelly, piece of peanut butter brownie
S salami stick
D crustless cheese and bacon quiche with salad and homemade coleslaw, followed by 2 squares 75% choc.

Fat bombs? What are those

 

[Sable_Jan]

Can I ask what your low carb hotchoc is?? I attempted to make one tonight and it was gross!

For mine I use cocoa powder (heaped teaspoon for my cup) mix it to a paste with some unsweetened soya milk then gradually top the cup up with soya milk. stick it in the microwave until its as hot as you like it (guess you could do the same in a pan) sometimes I add creamed coconut, sometimes mix coconut milk powder into the paste, sometimes add a desertspoonful of one of the Jordan's Skinny syrups (calorie & carb free)

@Rose28 if you are looking for a gelatine-free, cochineal-free, carb-free jelly for making cheesecake, I recommend one I get on Amazon called Simply Delish. Great flavours.

Cherry for adding coco powder to to make a kind of Black Forest Gateau effect jelly

They also now do veggie sugar-free jelly crystals in Asda (Robinsons) Orange and lemon/lime, but they are not as flavoursome as the Simple Delish. Not as firm a wobble either.

Fat bombs? What are those

If you google there are all sorts. I make mine by melting 200g butter, 200g peanut butter and 100g 75% choc, then pour into silicone ice cube/choc moulds. chill in the fridge and pop out. They just help to boost the amount of fat I eat, and taste nice too.

I've saved the links to the above page... When I get more time I'll try and go through some more pages... Sooo many recipe ideas...

Years ago I use to buy Asda's own brand sugar free veggie friendly jelly crystals, very tasty flavours but then they stopped selling them. Ooh didn't realise Robinsons have started selling some now!

Hi Susikav
Is the "jello" in the recipe the jelly blocks or jelly crystals?
Thanks
Jan

I think the crystals really... It's all I can get here - no lovely jelly cubes...

I keep thinking about making fat bombs but when I buy peanut butter I just end up eating it all!

I just tried mashed cauliflower as a mash potato substitute.. It was amazing! I recommend to all

My small queen tries to wash our hair, bless her... I am sure when I do, on odd occasions, sleep well, that my numbers are down, for sure... Is anyone else on statins? Do they notice any difference? My doctor said that most diabetics have to take statins sooner or later... why? Do we know? Is it common knowledge that I have missed? So many questions, so little time...

I think it's part of NICE guidelines to put peeps on statins once they have been diagnosed with diabetes, if I remember rightly there's a link between increased cholesterol and diabetes, and I also think they offer some protection against developing high cholesterol. On the other hand, I could have just made all that up in my foggy brain! I was put on them straight away when I was diagnosed with diabetes along with anti hypertensives. I had a lot of problems with all the medication, but with a bit of chopping and changing, it has settled down. I have read in other parts of the forum that statins affect BGs negatively, and a few people have refused them. Not sure of the research evidence, so perhaps someone could point us in the right direction?

Cats are funny creatures, I gave up trying to fight mine off at bed time - they will have their way! She did make me laugh though, I miss her and her little sister :-(
