Thanks for the tag @Mr_Pot, here’s the picture of my Sunday lunch a couple of weeks ago, total carb count for the main and dessert was around 15g carbs. (Gravy was meat juices thickened with milled flax seed and the dessert was a Hartleys sugar free jelly with cream and a sprinkling of low carb chocolate granola)View attachment 36098
YupI'm going to my mum's for sunder dinner this week I'm allowing myself the treat on one roast potato! Can't wait
Edit: Sunday dinner!
Hmm. Christmas day for me, the only day I eat roasties!
When I was diagnosed, cottage/sheperds pie were given a topping of celeriac instead of mashed spuds. If you google keto cauliflower, you will get all sorts of ideas where this can be used.
Pizza? Google Fat Head Dough. Indian? Google headbangerskitchen. Anything you fancy, google, just put keto first.
I really can't stand celariac!
After a couple of meals, husband is fully converted. Boiled and roughly mashed, then put into a hot oven to crisp, yum!
Cauliflower is surprisingly vertisile. If you can get a decent one these days.
If you like cauliflower cheese, boil the cauli as normal. Heat up the oven so it is blistering. Chuck cauli into a baking dish.
I use onion very sparingly. Fry a little off. You can also add leeks, broccoli, mushrooms etc for variation. If you like pancetta, dry fry. Add to the oil, double cream, finely grated parmesan to thicken. Grate cheese of your choice, pour over cauli. Pour over the cream/parmesan. Top with freshly ground cracked black pepper and or paprika for colour. Chuck in oven until crispy and golden.
Unfortunately, it can't do the ironing!Cauliflower as a pasta substitute - is there anything this wonder-veg can't do?

It is!Sounds delicious
But wait, there's more!Cauliflower as a pasta substitute - is there anything this wonder-veg can't do?
I am about to start cooking, but I have no idea how carbohydrates are measured in rice!
I have a limit of 100g of carbs per day.
The packet says 100g of rice contains 78g of carbohydrates. This falls within my daily limit, so all good there!
However, I can't find any info anywhere on whether the 100g of rice is its dry, uncooked weight or the weight after it has been cooked?
If it is dry, then that's easy enough - just weigh 100g of rice and then cook it. If it is the cooked weight, then how much dry rice produces 100g of cooked rice?
Having just recently being diagnosed, there is sooooooo much I have to learn!

And much easier to try without having to buy a waffle maker.I hate cleaning my waffle maker and Chaffles keep sticking so today i threw the mix in the frying pan shaped it into rectangles and squashed it down to waffle size, then flipped it. Obviously not quite the same but much quicker and easier to clean.
If there's a dish you miss, try googling it with keto added in the search bar. You'll get a whole lot of diabetes-friendly alternatives that way.
Thanks for idea @HSSSI hate cleaning my waffle maker and Chaffles keep sticking so today i threw the mix in the frying pan shaped it into rectangles and squashed it down to waffle size, then flipped it. Obviously not quite the same but much quicker and easier to clean.
