Mixed fruit with coconut milk, almond milk (unsweetened) 4 drops stevia, lime zest and juice and chia seeds as an extra today... Quite a nice pudding to have.

Normal salad but with chicken today..


I have started adding unsweetened shredded coconut to my chia pudding and along with the chia seeds, it soaks up all of the coconut or almond milk and is even more delightful. I did it to get in extra fat & fiber, but now I do it because it is so tasty!


B- 2 eggs & chard sautéed in butter, cream with my coffee
L- vegetable salad with some ham, cheese and some chunky blue cheese dressing (my fave)
D- (will be) leftover pork sausage, broccoli with butter, and something else...blueberries? Couple of apple wedges? Wee peppers stuffed with cream cheese? The possibilities are endless.
S- sharp cheddar or walnuts, if I need it

I forgot, I added in unswetened shredded coconut too!! It is yummy.

I'm eating it to get some extra calories on my workdays...

B: Black coffee and some leftover salad
L: chick pea and tomato salad
D: was at Kaspar's at the Savoy, to celebrate a birthday. They do lots of seafood, and the set 3-course included starter of mullet and main of brill. Lovely veggie side dishes but portions a little mean. There was some excellent sourdough bread, but I only nibbled on a tiny corner to get a flavour of it. Cheese was one of the dessert options. (The other two looked potentially carb-ridden.) Champagne.

Yesterday was:

B: Sugar free blueberry muffin with double cream
L: Almond cheese scones with guacamole
D: Pork mince with cauliflower rice.

Was going to have jelly & cream for dinner but was too full - probably because I had a sugar free macaroon in the afternoon when a friend came round for afternoon tea.

Haven't had pizza for a year since I was diagnosed and went on a low carb diet . Made a cauliflower based pizza yesterday for the first time and it was delicious.It wasn't perfect and I will have to try and get a drier dough but it tasted pretty much like pizza to me :).

Afterwards made my version of a chocolate mousse,double cream whipped with some unsweetened cocoa powder and truvia to sweeten,so good :)
