I liked the look of the wraps, but they are pretty expensive. I have a recipe for wraps made with coconut flour which I intend to try but the recipe does seem to be very eggy, so I may not like the finished product:
Basic Coconut Flour Tortilla Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
- 6 large Eggs (up to 7-8, see notes)
- 1 1/4 cups Milk of choice (up to 1 1/2 cups, see notes; I recommend either almond milk or coconut milk beverage here)
- 3/4 tsp Sea salt
All this talk of coconut flour - ugh! A small amount (i.e. so you can barely taste it) in sweet items is ok, but in savoury food - no thanks!
Two meals today and so stuffed I doubt there’ll be anything else.
First thing was 2 poached eggs and some air fried Halloumi - almost as good as Nando’s @DJC3
Lunch was at Five Guys. Bunless bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions.

Fill an empty bottle (any plastic water bottle or glass booze bottle will do) with hot water and put it in your shirt!I just haven’t been able to get warm in spite of wearing several layers plus a hat and scarf indoors.

KP Nut Tastic multipack. x4..... Just looked and they also do big packs!!!!! (100g) I get them from Ocado.That’s what I should do. I buy in bulk to save costs but then I eat them in bulk too! Where do you get your 4x1oz bags from?
Yup.Good idea thanks. (Sounds like the voice of experience?)
The above was on thursday and I bought everything my friend said to put on my list except the ready chopped onions.Called my best friend and told her to tell me what groceries to buy, considering my sore arm, lack of inspiration and indicisiveness, and she promptly replied with "Shawarma meat, ready chopped onions, low carb wraps, something green and a jar of chopped garlic for garlic sauce. Big package of shawarma to last you for at least 3 days. And a tub of tuna-mayo or egg-mayo or such. And tell your cleaner to grate lots of the good hard cheese when she comes next monday."
It's so wonderful to have a friend like this!
What a special treat.No breakfast as Saturday is yoga day.
Hall was cold so when I stopped at the supermarket on the way home I did have a coffee - with milk as they can't serve cream, even though there's shelves of it only meters away
Did get a bargain of 15 hard boiled eggs for just a £1, and sliced mushrooms and sliced peppers for just pence.
Lunch was 4 eggs, with mayo.
Rest have been mixed with mayo and may get as far as the freezer, or may just end up being meals tomorrow as neither of my boys like them cold, lucky me!
Dinner was a couple of hm lc kofta balls (lamb) on a little lettuce with fried peppers and mushrooms and a yoghurt and cucumber dressing.
Then, one of the neighbours we'd hosted last week, dropped in 16 proper French macarons she'd had her family who live in France buy especially for us as a thank you! I have had one bite of a few, just for the taste. I could eat the whole box! Came beautifully wrapped and in a posh carrier bag.
Interesting that there's no ingredients or nutritional label. Apparently all the French know what's in a macaron. Like their style
You need one of these @DJC3 - just think how many layers you could get underneath, and the ridiculously large kangaroo pocket lends itself to a hot water bottle!It’s been really cold here. The boiler’s conked out ( again) and our old stone cottage, having been empty for a week, is graveyard cold. I just haven’t been able to get warm in spite of wearing several layers plus a hat and scarf indoors. That’s my excuse for eating such a lot today - trying to warm up.
Breakfast started with schneiderbrot and cream cheese while ignoring my boiled eggs a la @AndBreathe ‘s method ( worked well) then nuts, then the eggs.
I can’t remember when breakfast morphed into lunch but there were more nuts, snacking salami, more eggs and I think more schneiderbrot.
Dinner will be beef shawarma from the freezer with cabbage noodles. It’s quite spicy so hopefully will warm me up at last.
Yesterday (for me, here anyway), we had quite a lazy day. I watched clouds in the morning - there were none, and in the afternoon, we went to the Thai equivalent of B&Q for, of all things, additional "bits" for our plumbed in garden irrigation system at home. Apparently, it's having a bit of a remodel this year, even though past year was supposed to be "it".
We also picked up a set of bathroom scales as I felt I've been losing weight, and MrB likes to keep a close eye on his too.
The on for Linner (we had our usual respective breakfasts).
MrB had a grilled prok salad with line and chilli. It seemed rather more insipid than promised, until he dabbled in the dressing. Boy! That'd clear your sinuses. He had a portion of fine rice noodles, and I had a few of those.
My linner was stir fried chicken, with chilli and garlic - very nice. A few of MrB's rice noodles to enjoy some of the sauce.
I'm generally impressed by the amount of meats we are finding in each portion when we go to eat. If we are promised pork, chicken, beef or whatever, there's a lot of it.
This morning the bathroom scales show me at 46.2kg, which is a couple down on my usual fighting weight. MrB thought he'd been putting weight on, but these new scales show him to have lost a couple of kilos too. Could be the scales, or could be more gluttony is required.
We'll see what the next few days brings.
None needed for that, but my crackling dealer on the local market seems to have gone AWOL.Sounds like a decent excuse for more of that crackling!
