Been hitting 5's all day .... smoked salmon, cheesy scrambled eggs for breakfast - mushroom soup and an avocado for lunch - tonight I'm trying LCHF Cauliflower cheese for first time, with some steak.

Also had a sneaky snack of 2 square of 85% chocolate!
 
Brilliant numbers and sounds nice too.
 
Made my first LCHF cauliflower cheese tonight - loved it!

Thank you @Lindy1706 for the recipe - just used cream, dash of mustard powder and grated cheese. I added bacon lardons, it was delicious! We ate around half, saving the rest for tomorrow. Think it will become a staple now
