[MrsA2]

Whoops, of course it was car!

More details, or recipe please

More details, or recipe please

I based it loosely on this recipe:
https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/237715/low-carb-tuna-and-mackerel-cakes/
I say loosely as I had some peppered mackerel in the freezer which needed using up, and I also couldn’t be bothered to convert the American cup measurements to grams, so I just chucked in what I thought would work!

Up early to take cat for mot. Not used to having to scrape ice away since retiring so fortified myself with breakfast of ff greek with seeds and 3 walnuts

L: hash of yesterday's leftover veg and chicken mixed with an egg and the last of the blacksticks blue. Pudding of 2 small squares of lc cake with cream.

D: hubby's first try of lc katso chicken. I had mine with cabbage, boys had rice. The coating was interesting, first dipped in coconut flour, then egg, then a mix of cauliflower rice and either ground almonds or milled seeds. Plenty of spices added too.
A glass of red.
I've put the recipe in my cmt

That Katso chicken looks great, thanks.

Hi @Botterblom , welcome to the thread and the forum!
You're definitely not alone in eating only once a day. I think quite a few of our members do this regularly, although I'm not one of them.
Interesting username too, any Dutch or Friesian roots?

For everyone having the impression I always have inspired and interesting meals, I don't!
It's the time of year we Dutchies get all stressed because we need to get our Sinterklaas poems and surprises (surpreesuhs) ready before the big day on the 5th of december.

Very relieved I finally decided on the presents, and on the surprise, so I went out to brave the Action, a store where they sell just about everything, very cheap and usually of dubious quality.
I even made a start with my surprise, sewing buttons on socks to turn them into guinea pigs (all very logical if you're Dutch) and I have a few ideas for the poems too!

Long story short, cooking was the last thing on my mind, so I had a rookworst, which is a smoked and cooked very high meat content sausage, and called it a meal.
Will of course post a picture of my surprise when it's finished.

The sausage looks fabulous!
I’m very keen to see your surprise, is it something I could copy for my granddaughters who have 4 guinea pigs? I hope it’s acceptable to post a sewing recipe too.

Nice fish cakes, not to sure if I like to see that many sprouts in one spot though.

I just eat once a day. I had the last of a pork stew I made in the slowpot about 4 days ago with pork , mushrooms and an onion in it, 100g broccoli, 4 rye thins and an ounce of nuts. I am keeping my carbs below 20g as I wasn't losing weight when they were higher. All in All its going well, I have lost 45lb in 6 months - I was diagnosed type 2 in July.

Welcome and well done on the weight loss, that’s a cracking result. Have you had your HbA1c checked recently? I bet it’s come down a lot.

Did the cat pass ?

I used to hate sprouts! I would have a single token sprout on Xmas day only. It’s one of the foods that I now enjoy as my tastes have changed since going low carb.

 

[Riva_Roxaban]

Two hard boiled eggs, two slices of low carb toast and vegimite for breakfast.
Nothing to eat, just my lemon cordial / osmolax mix drink for smoko.
Toasted cheese and tomato sandwich for lunch, as not hungry.
Tub of low sugar pineapple jelly, with lemon / lime sorbet on it for supper at six.

To make sure, I've taken it to the parallel thread: https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/th...ten-parallel-chat.177870/page-73#post-2463867
I've also eaten a spoonful of clotted cream since my last post, just to stay on topic of course.

 

[MrsA2]

so I just chucked in what I thought would work!

Sounds like my sort of cooking

 

[MrsA2]

The car did. The cat, being very old, probably wouldn't have passed and would have cost us an awful lot more money!

Not sure what food to have today. It's 11.20 am and so far I've had a boiled sweet and a packet of crisps to treat a hypo plus several cups of tea to try to get warm. The hypo was due to my taking a correction dose (fairly high, but what I would normally take to get down to something like required range from 15+). That was before I went back to bed last night. Middle of the night I woke to a soaking wet bed with sweat pouring off me and BG down to 3.5, That's when I had the sweet. BG currently 8.9. But I'm incredibly cold.

I'm not feeling hungry, but I am thinking about food, which is probably a good sign after the last few days. Probably, eventually, it will be bacon and egg but at present I'm trying to get the shower room heated up so I can have my shower. The temperature here is very low and the house is cold, so I am too.

Later on, I have one of those ready meals to have - chicken jalfrezi. Probably has too much carb with it, so I'll eat the bits that I can.

Black coffee and PT session in the park this morning.
L- leftover chicken and coconut curry followed by DGF vegan fudge brownie.
D- https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-chorizo-crumb-topped-cod-with-padron-peppers (without the pardon peppers) green beans, broccoli and a mushroom filled with blue cheese. 2 HC dark choc batons ( 85%)

 

[Mrs T 123]

Brunch - 2 slices slc bread toasted & filled with egg mayo. Mug of earl grey tea

Dinner - prawn cocktail & salmon with a large salad.

Peterborough at it again - I received e-mail last night from Royal Mail advising my DGF would be delivered today - never arrived - still STUCK at Peterborough AGAIN and it's not even December yet! - it's bad enough just now I don't want to think about what it will be like in the coming weeks ... just as well I had some supplies left in the freezer so I had 1 dgf white chocolate raspberry blondie with a little cream after my dinner - I so needed it after my ****** day yesterday

Took the pack of Chicken Jalfrezi out of the fridge. Calories in it are 636, carbs are 58.3. Not sure what will be left in what I can eat of it. Instructions are, in my current state of mind, too complicated - Remove onion bhaji from the pack; pierce film lid on the other 3 compartments; heat on full power for 4 minutes 30 seconds; peel back the cover on the chicken compartment, stir and recover; heat on full power for another 1 minute 30 seconds; put the bhaji back in and cook for another minutes; stir before serving. And the only bit I can eat is the chicken! I think I'll just take it out of the packaging and microwave it on its own until it seems hot enough.

Feeling relieved having successfully managed to take oldest autistic adult son for his cv19 booster. Caring events like this needs a lot of planning and care - so I’m thrilled that it’s done.
Lunch two eggs scrambled in butter followed by spoonful of yoghurt and two squares of 90% chocolate
Mid pm my first ever DGF LC lemon cookie - lovely reward for me. Tasted not at all low carb even though it was!
Dinner game casserole - left in slow cooker all day while out - with some roasted butternut squash and glass of soda water with dash of dry white followed by lc blondie warmed and served with extra thick cream.
Exciting day tomorrow as get to start the advent calendar and lc choc. It’s a DGF lc milk chocolate - a first for them and will be interesting to see what they taste like.
