I made a ShakShuk (sp - it's Moroccan, and Arabic isn't my first language I'm afraid!) t'other day - easy, filling delish and infinitely adaptable. It's a one pan dish so ideally cook it stove top in the dish you want to eat it/serve it from Ingredients (these are all completely variable!)...

I've just started low carbing 'seriously' (as opposed to doing it on occasion when I fancied pork scratchings....) and my bloods are coming down amazingly. So I'm joining in the fun on this thread to keep me virtuous :) Today I have had: Ham and gouda omelette for breakfast Tex Mex soup from...

Hmmm - sound delicious - I'm struggling with wanting 'sweet' things at the moment - but not sure about erithytol (sp) - Would splenda work I wonder to myself and plan to cook these tomorrow just to see :)

My first foray into low carb recipes - I'm newish to LCHF (certainly to taking it seriously I have to admit) and I'm a sad old foodie which doesn't help. However, discovered this squash parmigiana recipe on Delicious and I have to say that although it looks quite meagre when you're cooking it...

I've been admitted to hospital for a while to deal with an ear infection (!) that has turned chronic and can only be dealt with by IV anti biotics. I have told the nursing staff that I'm T2, controlled with Metformin and diet and suddenly, on Day 3, they pounced on me this morning (at 5:30am...)...

Hi I'm Caroline and (gosh this sounds like AA...) I've just been diagnosed as a T2 sufferer. It was only on Monday and I had not one single symptom apart from the reason I had a blood test which seemed entirely unrelated, so I'm a little shocked at the mo! I've joined this forum to get as much...
