working on it@Caeseji I’m really glad your family are enjoying lchf too. Makes such a difference if you can all have the same meals.
@ianpspurs sorry to hear of reactive arthritis and the need for tramadol and steroids but I hope they help. No wonder she’s been feeling so poorly.
@SlimLizzy have I missed one of your posts? What happened with the straight talking doc?
Are you okay @SlimLizzy? Not sure I I've missed something.....sounds like you're not having a great time if it.this morning 20-03 apparently isinternational day of HAPPINESS

put new thread, what have i eaten didnt seem right placeAre you okay @SlimLizzy? Not sure I I've missed something.....sounds like you're not having a great time if it.
Wow. Read your post there. Huge hugs and massive sympathy. Totally understand your first post here.put new thread, what have i eaten didnt seem right place
Thank you on behalf of Julie - her dad's family are from north Wales and no 1 son went to uni there.@ianpspurs Sending healing hugs in your direction. I hope kitchen fairy is back to good health again soon.
We had a lovely day out in Snowdonia today. The weather was mostly beautiful apart from a brief spell where thick fog descended from nowhere! That's Wales for you. @DJC3 It's funny what you were saying about tea rooms, as we feel the same now. It was almost a ritual for us to find places for tea and cake whenever we were on holiday. Funnily enough, we still seek out nice cafés wherever we are, but the treat is a delicious coffee which we savour. We found two lovely cafés today and thoroughly enjoyed our coffees.
Breakfast: Yes, you guessed it, chia pudding with raspberry chia jam. CWC.
Lunch: Packed lunch enjoyed at Llanrwst. Diet Doctor roll each. Mine was filled with smoked salmon and cream cheese and Mr B had cheese and ham. A few nuts.
Two cheeky coffees with cream (at Betws-y-Coed and Capel Curig) and a couple of these: https://www.marksandspencerfoodhall...e-discs--847177bc-83e5-46ae-b296-d5acdbfd62f8. I wish they did them in a higher % choc, but at just over 1.5g of carbs per disc and individually wrapped, they are ideal to pop in a handbag.
Dinner: Chicken pizzaiola with celeriac chips and wilted spinach. 1 square of 85% M&S Peru choc. Decaf coffee and cream.
Hope Julie manages to find a way to manage what sounds like a painful and difficult condition.Apparently wandered into World of Cream today. @Goonergal 100gms may go down but certainly wouldn't stay thereManaged to get stubborn London girl - any members recognise themselves? - to doctors and surprisingly reactive arthritis, more tramadol and steroids. Who knew (well I know 1 person who may have done). Homo domesticus may be a long(er?) time role - big rethink of medium term plan needed.
Tea, cocoa and water to drink. Usual mackerel and avocado salad for lunch around 14.00 hrs. Thai chicken red curry with mushrooms and cauliflower soon. Cauliflower from frozen - I am the 3rd generation to fail at growing acceptable cauliflowers on this land.
Do you make the crispbreads yourself or buy them? If you buy them what brand are they?Hi all
Had to rush out first thing so coffee with cream first thing.
Lunch range of cheese and lc seeded crispbreads with a few nuts followed by 10 HC 100% cocoa buttons with coffee and cream
Dinner salmon in lemon butter served with cauliflower cheese and asparagus followed by sf jelly and Greek yoghurt with a splodge of cream.
The stubbornness seems incurable but Dr feels this is a reaction to throat issues - no infection there. Obviously want the reactive arthritis cured but was hoping the other problem could be fixed. Seems as though you can take the girl out of London .....@ianpspurs soery to hear your London girl is still struggling and hope it improves soon.
@dunelm - hope you enjoy and @Chook as requested for you too
Id recommend the hemp hearts @zauberflote drew my attention to these and Im addicted to them
Seeded Crispbreads
4 grams of carb for whole mix if 40 crispbreads each crispbread is 0.1 of carb.
Makes 40 crispbreads using a 2” square cutter or you could just cut out to size wanted with a knife
Equipment:
Need 2 large flat oven trays – you can use oiled greaseproof paper to cook them on but I’ve found it more economical and easier to buy washable and reusable oven proof silicone tray liners – which you don’t need to oil. (I use three of them using two to roll out on and then pop into the oven trays and one to use on top - which I use to make rolling out much easier as it doesn’t stick to the liner)
Ingredients
• 150g of Dry ingredients in total - I now use the following but you could do a mix of ground and whole seeds that you like:
o 80g of milled seeds could use just ground flaxseed but I used a mix of flaxseed, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and think it added more flavour to the mix (Linwood’s or Aldi’s version and used this as my carb count)
o 20 g of Psyllium Husk
o 30 g of whole hemp heart seeds – these are shelled and very soft and nutty
o 20g of whole mixed seeds
o Some ground psyllium husk powder for rolling out the crispbreads
• Seasoning to taste I used a mix of salt, a few herbs and pepper
• 2 tablespoon of olive oil and 9 tablespoons of water (you may need a bit extra when mixing you’ll need to judge it to make sure good sticky texture)
Method
1. Put oven on to 160 fan – or equivalent
2. Mix water and oil
3. Mix liquids with dry ingredients - adding more Psyllium Husk if very sticky or more water if very dry and not binding into a ball for rolling out. Go steady as Psyllium Husk takes a few mins to thicken so don’t overdo it. You'll need to stand for a few mins to allow it to swell, as it will.
4. Sprinkle powdered Psyllium Husk onto the two silicone tray lines and tip half the dough out on each sheet and using another sheet and rolling pin roll and press out until as thin as possible - the thinner the better. Do one and then the other. Once rolled out remove the top silicone mat that’s only to assist the rolling out.
5. When you’ve got a rectangle the size of the silicone mat, press out the size and shapes of crispbread required. Or just cut the shape you want. You should be able to spread them out on the mat and then when completed just put into the oven tray - should make about 20 on each tray, if thin enough. They don’t spread so can be quite close together for baking
6. Bake in oven for 35 mins - checking and then leaving longer and/or in a cooling oven if not crisp enough. I tend always to leave them for a least a couple of hours in a cooling oven until they are quite crunchy. If you don’t manage to roll them out thinly enough and they are thick or too wet they will need a longer cook. They should snap a bit before you turn the oven off if at all chewy because of thickness cook them for longer!
if you have a go at them let me know if you like them or not. They do last in a tin for more than a week but rarely last as long as that in our house! I find I nibble them at times when looking for a lc snack but they go with so many things.
