Thank you, @Shelly276 and @Rachox
It is the bread, specifically toast that I crave. I have tried making with almond flour and flaxseed, but it gives a rather heavy texture.
Will try your suggestions.

I prefer the slc for toast but lowcarbfoodco for a sandwich (it is the nearest to real bread that I have tried but there seems to be a smell from it when toasting) imo that is but I am a fussy person with food
 
Cauliflower purée with boeuf bourguignon. Although I seemed to have scooped mostly vegetables in this particular freezer container. Still tasted lovely though!

I have a little left over still, about half a portion of purée and haf a portion of sauce. So what to add to that tomorrow to make a full meal?
A salad makes most sense, but it's very cold in my kitchen so I don't want salad.
Ideas for a quick addition to my meal anyone?

 
Missed a day or whatever, here's yesterdays.

Couple of hard boiled eggs, two slices of vegimite on low carb toast for breakfast.
Cold pork chops, lemon cordial osmolax mix for smoko.
Red Rooster chicken and veggies and gravy for lunch.
Sardines in tomato sauce on toast for supper at six.
 

I would add a portion of fried mushrooms, as I love them and can’t see any in your picture!

Edit for typo
 
I'd blitz it altogether, add more liquid (stock, milk, water anything really) heat it and call it soup. Rachox idea of mushrooms would be good too. I use tinned ones in soups
 
That is calling out for some grated cheese, or / and the mushrooms, perhaps with a low carb pie crust added.
 
All your suggestions make me hungry again!
Good thing there's more of the boeuf in the freezer so I can try them all next time I thaw some!

No open jar of almond butter since yesterday, so far so good. After breakfast I was smitten by a strong longing for "just a tiny teaspoonful" but it was balanced by an even stronger reluctance to make the effort required. Had the jar been open and the almond butter ready churned, I would have succumbed.
 
breakfast; l/c cereal, almond milk, hi lo toast with butter
snack; mocha
lunch; tuna, tomatoes, cucumber and olives, adonis protein bar
dinner; chicken stirfry with no carb shirataki rice. Raspberries and home made posset (made with sweetner)
a bag of propercorn salted pop corn, montezuma buttons

oo, its cold! Forcast minus 6 by us tomorrow night....
 
Didn’t have time for breakfast today so first meal was
L- cobb salad
D- DD quick Keto curry bowl.
The DietDoctor Reset meal plan is going well, I’m enjoying the food and I finally saw BG back in 4s and 5s today. Of course that may have been due to the 5 miles of walking I did this morning delivering leaflets.
 
 
Hi I’ve just got some weight watchers bars the carbs are 8.6 and sugars 2.3 per bar. I know I’ve got to test first but can you tell me if 2.3 sugars are to high for a bar please. I don’t know if dare try them just in case
 
Tried out a new product today - I miss pasta even after four and a half years of not eating it so when saw Swedish high protein low carb pasta at Ocado I decided to buy and do a trial of a small amount. Reviews suggested it tastes more like pasta and took advice of doubling cooking time suggested as reviews said could be more chewy if cook for suggested time.
Like traditional pasta it swells a lot during cooking so managed to only add 40g in total to dish and I ate about 10g of it which I believe is 1.4g of carbs.worked for me taste and bg - just tested 2 hours after and my bg is 0.5 lower than before the meal.

Lunch hm soup and hm lc bread followed by a few raspberries and yoghurt plus one 85%chocolate baton and a few nuts

Dinner venison meatballs in hm lc passata with previously cooked and cooked lc pasta - added to casserole for last 40mins so pasta took on passata flavours. Pudding low carb blondie with cream. Also had soda water with splash of dry white wine.

Hiya you need to count all the impact carbs not just the sugars. You could always test your bgs before eating and them after to check. If a U.K. product it’s likely that all the carbs will impact ie 8.6g unless there are sweetners eg polyols which may not count. What does the ingredients list say? Maybe post a photo of nutrition panel on the bar so we can see to advise you? There are many bars out there with few impact carbs not sure if this is one of them.

It’s better to look at total carbs, not just sugars - it all raises your BG. There are definitely lower carb bars out there, but as you said, you’ll only know how it affects you personally by testing.
 
Advice please. I want to get some high meat/low carb sausages for our ‘second Christmas’ buffet party on Sunday. Fat head sausage rolls have been requested but I’ll only be able to get to one of the following supermarkets, which one is likely to be my best bet for the best sausages?
Aldi, Lidl, Tesco or Asda?
