Homemade beet and potato soup. With 4 beets, 2 potatoes, 1 onion, 1 tablespoon each of black pepper and garlic powder, 2 chicken bouillon cubes, 5 cups of water.
It was not very good!!!

I bet it was a striking colour! @cdpm. Sorry to hear the flavour didn't meet with your expectations. If there's some left over, you might want to stir in a swirl of yoghurt.

I suppose that counts as an eating day then @cdpm.

Have you decided to give ADF a try?

I was doing adf. That's why I somehow forgot if it's an eating day!! Plus I'm getting older !!
Today will be canned vegetable soup with pizza slices cup up and thrown in to get soggy.

None of us is getting any younger @cdpm that's for sure.
Might be an idea to restart your food diary, rather than rely on your memory.

Rather than rely on my memory @cdpm, I've found keeping a record of the food eaten each day along with my
blood glucose readings is helpful.

I just do a food diary here for fun.
And I rarely do bg readings as I have no control over them anyway so it's only distressing to see the numbers.
(Sorry for the non food post but I can't ignore questions asked of me).
 
I was diagnosed recently, and want to keep things simple:
My standard breakfast: cottage cheese, blueberries, and almonds
Lunch: I pre-cook vegetables so I can load my plate. Today was a new try, smoked salmon and lettuce on an English Muffin*, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes
*May have been too carb heavy.
