Have you tried the M&S almond butter? I bought it today and it tastes amazing. I think it must be something to do with the right amount of sea salt! A tad expensive compared with the Aldi version I usually buy!Evening all.
Still paying for last night’s Ikea trip - @Emma_369 I did manage a mad dash on Sunday - in and out in 40 minutes. Last night I spent a bit longer and then decided to assemble a chest of drawers once I got home. Bed at 1.30am and up not much after 4.30am. Early to bed tonight. @DCUKMod LOL. Half the fun of Ikea is finding all the things you never knew you needed.
Lunch today was smoked salmon and and M&S whipped creamy cheese - found some more @DJC3
Dinner - a mini-forum rendezvous with @Diakat at Five Guys. Bunless bacon cheeseburger with mayonnaise and a touch of raw onion. They did their best to make me eat more veg by wrapping in lettuce rather than putting in a bowl, but it was discarded as enthusiastically as the bun! Talk of almond butter at dinner has led to a dessert at home of a single serve of said butter with extra thick double cream.
Oh....and in other news, I tried on a size 12 pair of jeans in M&S today and they fitted! This time last year my size 18 jeans felt tight! Sorry to derail the thread with non food related stuff, but I have to share my joy!
thank you Rachox.@SlimLizzy here’s my low carb granola recipe, it’s an amalgamation of several other recipes I found:

A white powder - not Columbian marching. It caramelises and mixed into milled flaxseed creates a digestive biscuit like effectPlease what is inulin?
try sainsburys, i saw konjac needles there, maybe they sell the spaghetti as well?I need to try the Konjac spaghetti. Not sure where to get it from.
Glad you found the whipped creamy cheese again @Goonergal . Was @Diakat impressed with 5guys?
Inulin is powdered soluble fibre that you can mix with liquid to add fibre to your diet. It can also be used as a baking ingredient as a sugar replacement- although not very sweet - it also caramelises. Most are ground artichoke or chicory root. I use it in my morning coffee and love it and also add in to many baked goods eg lemon drizzle cake for caramelisation as it’s just about zero cal. You need to build it up slowly though as your gut adjusts. There is also research about its good effects on your gut bacteria, sleep etc.Please what is inulin?
ground almonds contain oil, so I found it clumps, adding a little coconut flour improves the texture. use sweetener of choice instead of sugar.Has anyone made crumble? Do you just substitute almond flour?
4.9g per 100g. It's literally just roasted almonds and sea salt, no added oil. Not sure how it measures up to the Aldi one.Glad you found the whipped creamy cheese again @Goonergal . Was @Diakat impressed with 5guys?
@BibaBee what is the carb count on the M&S almond butter? The Aldi one is pretty low I think, as is Tesco own brand.
I had to do that a few months ago....I held off for ages until I reached a size 14. I actually got tons of bargains on eBay. M&S tend to be generous on the sizing, so I need to try on some things elsewhere too. I just knew my jeans were starting to get loose, which was a good sign.thats wonderful BibaBee, are you buying an entire new wardrobe?
Thanks. I live in a village and have a small Morrisons and an Aldi nearby. Sainsbury’s is more of a trek. After some googling I suspect I might be able to get some in the Morrisons so will try at the weekend.try sainsburys, i saw konjac needles there, maybe they sell the spaghetti as well?
