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!

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?
 
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.
 
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)
 
Homemade Alpen

Soup Stilton with leeks and cauliflower ...olive bread .. Kept some in the freezer ..

Later .. Ratatouille with small jacket potato ..

Raspberries again .. This will be the same as yesterday ..

B: cheese omelette
L: quark, berries, coconut, cinnamon. Soya decaf
D: courgetti pesto with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and manchego. 85% chocolate

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! :wideyed: Proof, if needed, that cauliflower rice doesn't taste of cauliflower.
