Brunch: 3 scrambled eggs and 2 quorn sausages
Dinner: mushroom risotto (made with cauli rice)

First try of this risotto recipe today and I highly recommend it.

Tweaks were:
Subbed parmesan for manchego to make it veggie
Added a blob of philadelphia at the end to make it creamy (instead of the butter)
Squeezed lemon on top to make it extra tasty

I'll definitely give this one a go. As a non-veggie, I do a pretendy-paella with all the chorizo and pork or chicken, and of course the "rice" picks up the colour of the saffron in it, as well as the chorizo oil.

AS - You definitely need to come and live at my house!

@AndBreathe I am trying my best to stay out of the kitchen as I could polish off the lot. It is very moreish!

You see, if you were here, I could help finish it more quickly (and as MrB is away, we could have a girl-fest-round the kitchen-table-sort-the-world-out-night.

Liam, what are your blood readings like?

 

[Liam1955]

Hi dawnmc.
Normally within range. But, every 14 days I have an Injection of a Biological Drug - and my blood sugars go erratic for 2/3 days, then they settle again. Liam1955.

 

[Safi]

B: Coffee/Cream
L: Mushroom/Cheddar/Garlic Flax Muffin with Butter, a couple of Spinach Puffs & a couple of Brazils
D: Carrot/Cheese/Parsley Salad with Pickled Cabbage, some Cauliflower Tots & a bit of Spicy Almond Bread

Been experimenting with fasting/limited eating window for a few weeks to see what impact it might have on BS. I'm not at all keen to lose weight so I've been having cream in my coffee which I understand even Dr Fung is cool with. All pretty positive so far - current meter average is 4.7 (though I suspect an hba1c would be higher as I tend to spike with exercise & have been doing a fair bit of that)

I had planned to have leftover risotto tonight. When I suggested to my cauli-phobic child to try some, I didn't think she would and I didn't think she would like it and eat the lot! Proof, if needed, that cauliflower rice doesn't taste of cauliflower.
