Comfort food

A coffee with cream is mine.

Before diabetes it was a coffee made with full cream boiled milk, no water. That was a throw back to childhood.

Main meal - as big a fry and grill up as will fit on my plate. Eggs, bacon, mushrooms, tomato, 97% sausage, one spoonful of baked beans, half a toasted Lidl roll with butter. Oh! and a small splodge of HP sauce.
 
My favourite comfort food is boiled eggs and buttered Lidl Protein Roll soldiers. I also occasionally really enjoy a minute mug cake with raspberries and full fat Greek yoghurt when I'm in a steamed pudding kind of mood.

And chocolate - I love chocolate - but nowadays I only have a square or two of 75% or above - preferably Lindt.

What I really miss is toad in the hole but I've never found a good enough recipe for low carb Yorkshire Pudding.
 
I don't comfort eat either, infact eating is a chore for me which I would rather avoid until absolutely necessary. The stress of worrying over BG puts me off constantly. I now see food as nutrition and not entertainment and have a few set meals that I eat on rotation as I know exactly what they do to my metabolism.

I drink copious amounts of coffee with cream though, probably more than is good for me.

I have a fairly sweet tooth at the moment and M&M's seem to be a bit of a go to snack for me (albeit only once or twice a week).

Mac n' cheese has to be up there with one of the ultimate comfort foods. I don't seek comfort from any dishes that I eat mind you, but mac n' cheese is certainly referred to as comfort food regularly:)

What kinds of comfort foods are you looking for?

I have all kinds, both savoury and sweet :) I eat them because I enjoy them, but I stay aware of portion size and don't comfort eat in an 'emotional eating' way.

Savoury really. For stressful times when i need to eat but want something more comforting than a salad or an omelette

I like cheese - either a good Cheddar or a speciality cheese. There are so many to,choose from, and going for something slightly different makes it a treat.

I also love macadamia nuts, Parma ham, stuffed olives, smoked salmon, etc
 
I enjoy a baked avocado for lunch and eat them regularly. Treat it like a jacket potato. Split in half and remove the stone. Stuff with filling of your choice - I like tuna mayo and cheddar. V yummy! Cold sausages are good too with mayo - Heck chicken chipolatas :hungry:
