What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Bacon, three egg and cheese omelette, tomatoes for breakfast.
Toasted miscellaneous leftovers sandwich from in the fridge, lemon cordial osmolax mix for smoko.
Chicken legs, mixed veggies, gravy for lunch.
Small container of pea an ham soup, couple of slices toast for supper at six.

Had several pieces of naked ginger, and a bit of chocolate ginger watching Prime.

I run out of my single malt whisky last night, so a trip to Dan's this morning to buy a bottle of Laphroaig 10 year old single malt..
 
B: 3 small eggs scrambled
Then a very bitty day while preparing for family event, so a bit of cake, some nuts, tastes of dips, a chicken drumstick etc
D : much later than usual as planned to eat after the football... beef chilli with guacamole, soured cream, salsa etc. Tried wrapping it in lettuce leaves but that was a big messy fail so put it in a bowl instead. The non diabetics had tacos or wraps.
Red wine.

Second day of stew from the freezer with freshly made cauliflower purée. Yum!

Also discovered Dutch Lidl has Spanish pork scratchings, very dangerously moreish, ate way too much of them last night and will likely do again so tonight...

@Antje77 , are they very salty? I love the crunchiness but don't like a lot of salt.

Morning All. Brekkie yesterday was slice toast, thick butter and lots of tea.
Lunch was scrambled eggs followed by a ramekin of strawberries and raspberries.
Supper was Chicken Shashlik from Waitrose with cauli rice and onion bhajee.
Today lunch might be a bit of crustless quiche with spoon coleslaw. Supper will be bbqd chicken and a meaty sausage and griddled asparagus.
When shopping yesterday discovered Higgidy (who does the best bought quiche imo) are now doing packs of 8 mini frittatas in two flavours, spinach or tomato, and they are 4g or 3.8g each.
 
Morning all. Having visitors for midday meal so we are having; jacket potatoes (not for me), green salad, hm Scotch Eggs, Pork Ribs, Chicken strips in breadcrumbs and fried, Cole Slaw and Ham. I asked them all what they would like and that covers them all. I don't often get visitors so am making the most of it! Evening meal will probably be eating leftovers. Have a lovely Sunday everyone.
 
Sorry you have had tummy bleeding this week and hope you are better. You always show such a common sense attitude to your condition and I am glad you continue to enjoy your single malt!
 
Em stayed over last night, so today has been a bit topsy-turvey. Neil got around to replacing the radiator in the shower room with Em to help him uncouple the original radiator from under the floor and put the new one in, then he got her to help him put some anti-corrosive liquid in the boiler. She tried an experiment with some frozen banana smoothie that we made yesterday evening - she wanted to coat it in chocolate - not a success, but she had fun trying. All in all, I got nothing done all morning but actually managed to make a quick pea soup (using frozen peas), which I am about to have for my breakfast (?) and I have put some chicken thighs in the oven with some garlic and lemon juice for later on in the day.

Took my insulin half an hour ago and the timer has just gone off to tell me to have my soup. BG already on its way down at 4.9.

Edited typo.

Ended up with 10 adults and 9 children here to celebrate 8 May birthdays.
So in no particular order and no set meal times I think I ate
Several marmite bread sticks
A quarter of a marmite sandwich
A chicken drumstick or 2
Some cocktail sausages
Some cold salmon
Some ham
Peppers
Olives
Pickled veg
2 pieces homemade, most definitely NOT low carb choclate cake
1 piece homemade, most definitely NOT low carb strawberry cream sponge cake
1 lc mousse
Some strawberries

I have, so far, avoided any alcohol and trying now to fast until tomorrow, but all the leftovers are calling to me...

Hey how do you make your cauliflower puree? - it looks yum!
 
Brunch - 2 slices slc bread with roasted cheese on top. Mug of earl grey tea to set me up for the day

Dinner (out) - steak with peppercorn sauce on top with large salad which included cheese & coleslaw. 1 dgf notella cookie when home with a cuppa.

It tastes yum as well!

I cook cauliflower until soft, drain and leave for a bit without the lid to get rid of some more fluids.
I add a generous knob of butter, an even more generous scoop of cream cheese and a crumbled vegetarian stock cube called 'garden herbs' in Dutch. You can of course use any stock cube or plain salt and some herbs, it's just that I like the flavour of those stock cubes.
This time I also added a scoop of mustard and some grated cheese which needed to be eaten.

Stick blender does the rest, the trick is to keep stick-blendering for a long time, the structure will change to a creamy purée!

@Riva_Roxaban , my husband is currently enjoying a bottle of ten yr old Laphroaig which we found under the stairs at my late Mum and Dad’s house. Dad loved it and the smell makes me think of family christmases at their house.
Anyway food today:
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a phd bar.
Tea at ILs: cold meat, cheese and salad buffet followed by one Jaffa cake!

I know you post this whenever you go to mil's, but I have to post to admire your restraint. I was recently faced with a box of jaffa cakes, had one and then the temptation eat the whole lot was so strong! I think it was wrestled out of my hands after 4, thank heavens.
How do you stop at 1?
