"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Greek yoghurt for breakfast, out to lunch and tea will be decided later depending on what lunch was!

Something has calmed my digestive system right down. I haven't had gluten for 5 days, so that's my first guess. I love bread and baked goods, but if it's responsible for the digestive issues that's a second reason it shouldn't be in my diet, along with the carbs.
 
Had a hectic but lovely few days but now a few quiet albeit hot days are planned.
Yesterday I hosted a birthday lunch for a friend and made a Panda Flour LC quiche served with salads from garden, hummus, and a cheese board and leftovers were our evening meal too. Panda Flour is gluten free as well as low carb @jpscloud if you ever fancy making your own.
Planning roasted tomatoes this morning on LC toast, hummus for lunch and cold chicken with salads for dinner. Having a go at using my new little combi oven to cook a whole medium sized chicken this morning.
Edit bt engineer coming sometime tomorrow morning to fit full fibre connection so may be offline first thing if MIA again

I didn't know Panda flour is gluten free, thanks @shelley262 - I might give it a go. It seems very expensive though! I might have a look for cheaper ones, although I suspect Panda is expensive because it's very good quality so that might be the best option.

Good luck with the chicken! Hope it turns out well!
 
Think you can get a free sample bag as a new customer. Plus free delivery even if small sample order. Plus it's nothing like wheat flour in terms of nutrition and how it behaves and you use about a third of the standard flour you would as it expands with the liquids so a bag goes further. Lots of fibre and protein.
Edit Ps Panda Flour isn't like any others out there cheaper ones often use gluten and gluten free ones often high carb.
 
The rest of the cauliflower cheese for breakfast. Tea (the new jar of coffee is in the larder and too far for my legs to carry me this morning, so at the moment, I'm on tea).

2nd meal will be salmon with some salads.

Talking to a visiting friend on Monday, we both realized that, although we eat meat and fish, we don't really like doing it - both of us have found our tastes have changed as we have aged and flesh doesn't seem particularly pleasant these days. I used to be vegetarian but, when we moved to the Island, vegetables were more expensive and not very good, so we introduced more meat into our diet. Good quality or not (not), I find I've reduced the amount of meat I am using these days, and will be aiming for even less in future. Shan't go as far as Neil though. Except for times when he needs tinned mackerel to treat his Crohn's, he is vegan.
