That's the problem when you learn to cook in a restaurant. There are so many things you "must" have. I freely admit to being an addict for kitchen gadgets although I did take the extras to the Sally Army outlet recently.You've probably got everything I have, and more! When you post something you have, I can only allow myself to read it with one eye.
Dentist this morning and as I don’t have a car and Mrs Miggins was away, I had a pleasant three mile walk.
Lunch; chicken, pan fried. I like mine well salted and with some vinegar.
Dinner; Malaysian vegetable curry - it calls for potatoes but I used celeriac - worked fine - more chilli next time to offset the coconut milk and coriander.
Don't mind a Diet Coke with a vodka in itEvening all.
@charlie000 - Diet Coke helped me a lot when I did consistent periods of OMAD (several days, sometimes a couple of weeks in a row). Didn’t make me hungry or affect blood glucose. If you enjoy them and it helps with your wider goals, go for it. I have got myself to the point of only drinking them occasionally but that’s more to do with them tasting too sweet than anything else - some days they slide down nicely. Others - yesterday was one - it goes down the sink after a mouthful. Thanks to @BibaBee I’ve found the Aqua Libre infused water - no sugar or sweetener - and they are quite refreshing: at least the raspberry and apple one is, and not sweet tasting. The grapefruit and pineapple one was a bit sickly for me, but worth a try.
I’m looking forward to Meaty May as need to knock what seems like a never ending urge to overeat on the head.
Today’s menu was lunch of M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos and a bag of their pork crackling.
Mid afternoon succumbed to two portions of cream whipped with cocoa and erythritol.
Dinner - exhausted and too lazy to cook so another pack of rollitos followed by a single serve of almond butter and cream. That’s the last of the almond butter.
@zauberflote I fell in love with the Ghirardelli 92% individually wrapped squares when on the West Coast last summer. Still have one or two in the freezer.
Monk Fruit Classic sweetener does the trick if the rhubarb needs sweetened but at the moment the thin, pink rhubarb (as Chook illustrates) doesn't really need it. If I make a low carb crumble with it I add strawberries which sweetens it.Baked rhubarb! I love rhubarb but thought I couldn’t eat it because of the amount of sugar it needs. Does baking it make it less sour? What do you do?
Your menu sounds delicious
Like xfieldok I use oomi noodles.Despite the title of the thread, I haven't eaten or even heard of Konjac noodles until a friend mentioned them. Then I looked them up on a supermarket website.
Carbless noodles? Anybody tried them?
Found this on Facebook videos today - a Keto sausage & egg McMuffin. Personally, I'd make it as a bacon & egg McMuffin but it looks like the real thing but probably tastes a lot better. I recognised it as cloud bread (made it often enough) he certainly got it very English muffin like cooking it in the ring. This would work for eggs Benedict too. It's in my CMT plus I've added a crepe recipe to CMT - I would never have thought of adding gelatine to get a proper crepe texture.

Here you go. Pretty basic but you can add other veg if you like such as carrot, peas, green beans.Do you have a recipe for the Malaysian veg curry?
I've not heard that whey protein can increase insulin resistance. I've been meaning to get some as quite a few LC baking recipes use it. I'd be surprised if Carolyn has recommended something that isn't good for diabetics....she had gestational diabetes and was prediabetic. Paola from Gnom-Gnom also uses whey protein and whey protein isolate a fair bit. I know that some whey protein can have added sweeteners (you can get it without). I think maltodextrin is a common addition which is often not good for diabetics. Could it be this that is the issue? If you give them a go, let us know how you get on.I have a recipe I’m about to try for hamburger buns by Carolyn Ketchum. ( in Everyday ketogenic Kitchen book) Can’t find it on her All day I dream about food blog though. It contains whey protein and Im sure Ive read somewhere that this isn’t good for diabetics - encourages insulin resistance or something. They are only 3.5g carbs each though and the picture looks good ( obviously).

There was a couple of studies a couple of years ago that suggested there were benefits to whey protein. Having read them again maybe I should be using it in the mornings!I've not heard that whey protein can increase insulin resistance.
