@SlimLizzy - I love raw carrot as well. When I'm prepping carrots and other veg I have a circle of dogs sitting patiently around me - they love raw veg, too and will eat virtually any veg raw or cooked.
@Quinn1066 - do you spice your tofu yourself or buy it ready spiced? If you spice it yourself do you have a recipe for it. I'm trying to like tofu but, so far, it always tastes so bland.
@Winnie-the-Pooh and
@DJC3 - I love raw mushroom too and usually put salad dressing on it half an hour or so before making up the rest of the salad because the mushrooms absorb the flavour so beautifully.
I'm having a blissfully quiet day - still not used to the house being emptied of rampaging visitors and Mr C has gone back to work after his bereavement leave. So nice to get to use the bathroom whenever I want to.....
My BG isn't behaving itself (yet) but I'm hoping over the next few days to see some improvement. I did manage to get it down to 6.2 yesterday briefly before dinner but it was back up in the high 9s before bed. Today's FBG was 11.1 and before lunch it was 9.2.
So, today's food (both eaten and planned) is as follows:
Breakfast: Half cheddar and half mozzarella chaffle with a fried egg on top (note to self, needs to be two eggs as was very cheesey)
Lunch: 30g Red Leicester cheese with a few cherry tomatoes and cucumber slices
Dinner: Will be.... leftover quorn roast diced and stir fried with a mixture of mushrooms, celery, red pepper, fennel, mangetout, raw beetroot and pak choi - it won't be huge because I'm just not felt hungry over the past few days. Just got to think of some kind of sauce or flavouring to put with it.
Drinks: black decaff x 2 huge mugs, lots of bottled water and maybe a glass of diet tonic this evening.
