Well have started the day with a chocolate mug cake, double cream and blueberries. Like I said, I have a lot of recipes to try out. Don't see anything wrong with cake for breakfast;)

I made a delicious crustless quiche last night for this morning, but the red onions somehow made the bottom turn blue which wasnt very appealling. Ate around the problem but could have done without the blue quiche.
B. 2 Burgen toast with cheese spread
L. Quiche and coleslaw
D. Salmon and veggie caulie rice
S. Very few nuts, choc ice, 5 cold tiny snack sausages.

B: Boiled egg, 1 slice Livlife bread, butter & yeast extract; bullet-proof coffee.
L: Green salad, beetroot, stilton, cold spiced red cabbage (still trying to finish it), sliced cold pork'n'herb roll with bacon, olive oil etc dressing.
D: Baked plaice (the one with the orange spots), steamed veg, mushrooms'n'cream cheese sauce.
S: Peanut butter mug cake. Best yet. 50 secs in the microwave, less p butter than before so the raw mix was almost runny. Baking powder makes all the difference.

Yesterday:
B. Coffee with milk and xylitol.
No lunch - I was out walking around park and to LIDL for hp rolls.
T. Mug of black tea with ginger (and Candarel), mince pie with double cream. I am addicted to mince pies, and used to eat 3 or 4 a day, but since being diagnosed I only have one if I have walked at least 20,000 steps that day. Yesterday I walked 38,318 steps, so had earned it!
S. Lamb chop with the Mediterranean Cauli Rice I bought from Tesco last week. Two squares of Lindt 90% Dark chocolate.
S. A few walnuts.

Thats the second day in a row that my bgs have gone low at the 2 hr reading after dinner. Last night they went down to 4.0 but, once again, I felt fine. I had 100g of cherries which brought it back up to 4.9 by bedtime - then this morning my fbg was 6.7! Maybe being low in the evening brings on DP?

Planned for today:

Brunch: 2 x portion cream cheese pancakes with lemon

Tea/Dinner: Asda chicken & smoked bacon deli style (not had it before) with large green salad, an avocado and sliced up pepper mixture for a bit of colour.

Supper: Probably salami and cream cheese roll-ups but could be just a few nuts. I will see how I feel after doing this extra long shift today.

B: chocolate mug cake, blueberries, double cream
L: tuna & avocado melt bites (were delicious: http://www.ruled.me/avocado-tuna-melt-bites/ I used desiccated coconut instead of almond flour and found that 4 were enough for a lunch portion), rocket salad
S: peanut butter fudge slice
D: out to friend's for dinner. Chicken & veg curry with cauli rice (I have fabulously thoughtful friends :happy:) I took dessert - home made lemon curd cheesecake/mousse using nuts for base. Was good!

Just had latest HbA1c results back at 42 so all stable and ok. Was hoping it would be a bit lower. Must start testing more regularly again. Maybe too much cake for breakfast!!:wideyed:
