[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2097503, member: 41816"] Hi [USER=447317]@Fndwheelie[/USER] Great suggestions above. Just a couple of suggestions to add My husband has made a v simple and easy swap by replacing potatoes with cauliflower cheese. Now, in our household, i prefer to make it from scratch, but his appetite for not-pot-cauli-cheese is fairly voracious, and my life is too short to spend cooking vast vats of it, portioning and freezing. Soooo boring. So now, we compromise. Every so often, i cook up a massive batch for the freezer, but also, every time we do a shop, we buy these too: [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/258302991[/URL] They will freeze if necessary. 10g carbs per half pack. Obviously not as low carb as homemade, but a heck of a lot lower carb than the equivalent portion of potato. If you wanted to eat the meals from the menu you mentioned, you could do so, just ignoring the carby stuff and replacing it with a dollop of cauli cheese. Plus, cauli cheese is a complete meal in itself if you want, especially with a bit of mattersons sausage cropped on top. My Mr B has been known to live off cauli cheese, when I scamper off for a few days. On the same theme, Tescos (but all the supermarkets offer a similar range) offer these [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/256751640[/URL] [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/256111494[/URL] [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/303434714[/URL] [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/303434651[/URL] [URL]https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/294083203[/URL] Do your carers shop for you? Or could you do a supermarket order online? I’m guessing that since you have conquered the dcuk forum, you could easily conquer a supermarket online ordering process. :D I understand that the delivery men will bring the order into your kitchen, and leave it on the countertops, so you wouldn’t have to worry about anything more than placing it into the fridge. There is, of course, a delivery charge, but these vary significantly throughout the week, and if you can book a delivery at less popular times, you can reduce that charge significantly. :) [/QUOTE]
