This week I have been experimenting on my hot chocolate recipe. I think I have got it right for me. 250ml of unsweetened almond milk, one teaspoon of cocoa and two of sweetener (may reduce that slightly). It was the best one I had made yet. Still looking for the sugar free marshmallows (flumps)...

I will go down to 180 for some things and up to 220 for others according to instructions and when I used to bake it would be around 170. Since my diagnosis I haven't baked apart from trying a keto mug cake last week in the microwave. It was good.

I usually use 200c for everything

Cut the cauliflower into florets, add a little of your preferred oil, salt, pepper and smoked paprika. Good mix and into the oven for 3 to 40 minutes depending on the size of the chunks. I do the same with broccoli too, it just needs less time but comes out with crispy bits.

I love roasting cauliflower too. I like smoked paprika as well as salt and pepper.

I just use the frozen bags (4 individual servings bags in pack) like a few others have said. Makes life easy to go with stir fries or a curry or just anything I usually would have with rice. It's not that regular an occurrence so handy to have especially as my husband will have rice instead so...

Now I have rewatched it where I could hear properly, I am all emotional too. Makes me think of childhood and family gatherings. Lovely memories [emoji846]

This will be my second Christmas as a diet controlled type ii. Christmas day for us (me, husband, son) will be quiet with just my brother in law visiting. My parents and my in laws have all passed away (my father in law most recently in May this year). So we tend to host and do the cooking. Last...

Thank you for updating us, I check for you regularly. I hope you are managing to make as much of the time as you can, take care x

While I am sad that this is happening I am glad you are comfortable and the pain is well managed. I too had an image of your husband sitting all stern while reading. Thank you for replying to me, I hope you are surrounded by love x

I check every day for updates and think of you often. I am sorry to see your sad news and I hope you are comfortable and as pain free as you can be x

75 at diagnosis. It was always on the cards due to family history but after having COVID and being quite unwell the symptoms developed. I had lost weight with COVID and had started to put it on again for a couple of weeks then it started dropping again without me trying. Up and down but I lost...

I am still relatively new to all of this and have only been out a few times for dinner and I have ended up with two starters or a salad type thing. I do plan on having steak with just the veg when I go out for my friends birthday but that option was on the pricey side compared to what I had last...

I'm so sorry about your news x

Will be thinking of you today, hope it goes well

I'm so sorry to hear this, will be thinking of you tomorrow

My local had some sugar free lime cordial but that was only while they waited for a delivery so just sugary cordial and the sugar free orange cordial was horrible. Actual lime juice sounds like a good idea so thanks for the suggestion. Not a big fan of fizzy water or tonic or anything like that...

I am very down on going out these days. I can't have caffeine and don't like coffee anyway but it makes it very tricky to get a sugar free drink. Lots of places only seem to do cola and irn bru sugar free and never lemonade or Fanta so I can't even get a drink. Feel like what's the point...

Actually I usually make and freeze them ahead of time then defrost and stick in the oven on the day but even if I was having some the day of prep they are usually cold by the time I have put the mash back in the skins. The butter sounds nice, I hope it works well [emoji2]

I am due my next blood test mid December so I will see what it is before I make any decisions (in September it was 47, down from 75 in May and 69 in June). Thankfully I don't actually like a lot of traditional Christmas treats so more chocolate, potatoes and trifle/roulade. I am hoping to have a...
