Yep. I know soy is somewhat controversial, particularly the processed stuff, but sometimes the belly wants what it wants! We tend to eat more of it in the warmer months as we eat a lot more salads & obviously potato/pasta/legume/pumpkin salads are pretty much off the table so frankenchook or soysage it is :) Marinated tempeh is on the menu too but is not quite as quick or convenient.

B: chilli/chocolate/coconut flour flat bread with butter & a creamy coffee
L: flax bread with leftover salad bits & mushroom/tempeh pate
D: another 'bitty' one - spinach puffs, cauli tots, crudite, hummus, avocado & some garlic/chilli/cheddar almond bread

D: reduced carb cauliflower/pea/onion fritters with yet more carrot/cheese/parsley salad

Had a couple of spanakopita triangles with a well dressed salad last night & no major spike so happy with that - must've been all the fat from the cheese, butter & olive oil!

Wensleydale and walnut cauliflower cheese
Braised red cabbage
Roasted orange coloured cherry tomatoes
