What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and Fibre One caramel protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and chocolate chia pudding.
Dinner: Spanish chicken and roasted veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 
OMG I am addicted to Firecracker Wings. Must put these forward to anyone who loves their Chicken, they are absolutely gorgeous. Tip if you don't like the sauce as it's too hot, dab each with a bit of kitchen roll then you get a hint of sauce but it's not overwhelming. Last night had the wings with some lamb fillet cut into squares and placed in a dry grill pan until seared on the outside and a handful of oven cooked sweet potato wedges. Lunch today some pate on couple of small slices of low carb toast (love this hi-lo seeded loaf) and tonight having a grill up with pancetta, eggs, sausages and mushrooms.
 
I don't feel like cooking today, so I used the fact the meat hasn't thawed yet as the perfect excuse not to cook.

Still, I do need to eat, even if I don't cook (I'm not the fasting kind of person).
So instead of cooking I chopped a small onion, a clove of garlic, bell pepper, mushrooms, paksoy and gave it a quick fry with a bit of hot sauce and black bean paste. I'll use it to fill the cheese crusted omelet @DJC3 so kindly reminded me of when it's dinner time .

And I'm feeling very smug on not having had to cook today!
Am I the only one with this kind of twisted logic?

Fingers crossed. Mine was the same. It arrived at Peterborough in the afternoon and left in the evening. I've just put a SLC order in and, yes, I've ordered the hot cross buns. I reckon I can have a very low carb day to allow for them.

Yes I think they are around 5 carbs so as long as you count them in - you/I will be fine - enjoy! I am already wondering if DGF will be doing a new mixed box this week

Click to expand...
Ingredients:

  • 270 g ground almonds
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
Preparation:

Preheat oven to 180C/356F. Place all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix well together. Form a ball from dough and refrigerate for about 20 min. Press evenly into 23 cm wide loose bottomed tart tin, pierce with fork and bake for about 15 minutes until very slightly browned.

In my next one im planning to add some grated cheese. I have a feeling it will be even better

Enjoy
 
About 11 ish, 3 eggs crusty cheese omelette
Long walk
Mid afternoon 5 brazil nuts
6pm salmon with wild garlic and cream, with carrots and cabbage. 2 almond biscuits (trying 2 new recipes)
 
@Antje77 thank you! She’s doing ok, just not enjoying being held hostage in a crate for two weeks.

It was like keto Christmas today - delivery from DGF, SLC and Fatt Bar.

Had breakfast today as my FBG was higher than it has been at 6.8 and woke up feeling a bit odd. 3 eggs mashed in a cup with butter.

Lunch - SLC sandwich with butter and corn beef, Fatt Bar cookie and 2 babybel

Dinner - buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese Mayo be drivable a DGF lemon cake.

Hug obviously for the dog, but also for you, having to try to make sure she won't do anything detrimental for her health.
What ails her?
Last summer I've had to keep a cat alone in the spare bedroom for 5 weeks because of a broken leg to prevent sudden movement. Yes, that should have been crate rest but I just couldn't. It was a hard time for both of us.

And the result of my 'I'm not cooking today' meal. The red stuff is smokey sriracha, goes very well with the egg I think, and it looks pretty too!

Dinner: chilli con carne with cauliflower rice followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
 

I’m not good at fasting either. Just the thought makes me sad and I end up thinking about food all the time. Wish I could do it.
Glad you rediscovered the joy of a cheese crusted omelet. I need to look back at DD and all our CMT recipes to see what else I’ve forgotten about.
 
Lots of black coffee all morning. Packed lunch at work was a sort of cobb salad, squashed into a too small Tupperware
so when I went to eat it, it had almost set into a salad brick.
DGF cake to follow.
It was quite a physically demanding day and I was v hungry when I got in so had a h/b egg and slice of Mestermacher bread, to keep me away from the nut cupboard
Dinner was a load of the air fried brined chicken wings. I just can’t get enough of these ( I think I ate about 9). 2 mugs of coco tea which I am fast becoming addicted to.
 
Can anyone recommend anything that Morrison’s do particularly well?
Daughter is making the trek out there tomorrow and I know there are some things people have recommended.
@maglil55 and @Goonergal I’m thinking either or both of you might use Morrison’s?
 
I find them good for meat. They do pork skin for making your own crackling, bones for stock or broth. As well as pork belly and various other cuts.
"Wonky" avocados can be good, if you have patience for them to ripen.
My boys like their baked goods.
If you hunt up and down the aisles on hanging strips they often have the lighter form of pork scratchings call "crunchies"
 
I was there today ... some of the things I got were their bratwurst sausages & gammon steaks (both long dated so handy to have in the fridge), ready to eat sweet chilli smoked salmon fillets, their coleslaw is lovely as is their double creams (I find the quality is better than Aldi but the prices are a bit higher), I got a bag of baby spinach which I use as a base for my salads rather than lettuce sometimes. I got some stuffed olives again pricey but lovely and their crunchy peanut butter with the red lid is good too - not too hard just right. They do pickled eggs in a jar too but today my store didn't have any *sigh*. I got more 90% Lindtt chocolate. They do tins of sardines & mackerel fillets in tasty sauces e.g. tikka sauce, peri peri sauce, lemon, chilli & garlic infused oil (I have quite a few in the cupboard and need to get in to the habit of eating them again as they are really nice if you like a tasty sauce). They also do a pro active semi skimmed milk for lowering cholesterol which I pick up in there as well as it tastes fine ... happy shopping ... The girls get the seabass from Morrisons but I have not tried it yet, I usually get the salmon as I prefer it to seabass. Oh and any of their mince, steak etc. is also lovely as they have their own butcher in their stores. Chicken is always fine too. I love their cooked chicken drumsticks again good quality.
 

Lamb ribs. Their meat counter in general is great. A few weeks ago I picked up a small piece of boneless lamb leg which was delicious done in the air fryer - wished I’d picked up more. Also rib roast, which is essentially ribeye, except you need to slice yourself, but much cheaper. Rumour had it recently that they had Picanha, my favourite cut in Rodizio style places. And 20% mince, thick cut too!

My local one will keep things aside for you if you call ahead and speak to the butcher counter and tell them what you want. I’ve never remembered to do it, but the butcher told me himself!
