I get cross sometimes when I see other sites that make low carb eating complex or costly.
This is one of my example of easy, cheap, healthy
Free, foraged blackberries, frozen on trays so they are then scooped into bags and kept frozen. A few are shaken out when needed.

Mine isn't even worthy of being called a recipe...crumble recipe
Mine isn't even worthy of being called a recipe...
Per person (multiplying as needed),
melt a tablespoon of butter,
add 1 tablespoon ground almonds
and 1 tablespoon milled linseed (or either just the almonds or seeds if you prefer).
Mix it all about a bit, sprinkle on top of fruit and cook in oven (or microwave) until warmed through.
This is enough for one ramekin type dish
In my garden it has not been a stellar year for veg, but my french beans were great earlier in the year and I have another batch just coming into flower so I hope for some more into the autumn. I still have loads of tomatoes despite the blight, plus cucumbers, chillis, peppers and aubergines which should carry on for a bit yet. Courgettes were a bit of a fail but the little Zephyr summer squashes have been great and keep on producing 2 or 3 every other day (seem to be ok for my BG, wasn’t too sure to start with), and I have a single spaghetti squash sitting ripening like a giant green slug.
Strawberries suffered from sawfly caterpillars but I’ve had a few and they are still doing their thing.
Once the ground has had some more rain I will plant out my fig trees… figs are OK for me too, although it will have to be a good year for them to produce anything edible!
I love the convenience of having fresh stuff on tap, so I can have a salad or roast (well, air-fried) veggies, or ingredients for a curry available without prior planning or having stuff languishing in the fridge! To large extent, what is ready to be eaten drives my menus in the summer.
Please can I have the LC crumble recipe? Have made many attempts and so far all have been either dry and powdery or sticky and greasy.We have a rogue blackberry bush that has wound itself round a tree in our front garden, this reminds me to go and harvest the berries and look up my low carb crumble recipe
