Your timing for the sausage boats make sense, I think I'll give that a try.
The meatzas are a bit ouch, Goonergal used to make them, here's her recipe:

But using the search bar shows other members using different recipes as well. :joyful:

And I found some more by simply putting meatza in the search bar and ticking the box for searching this thread.

Meatza will always make me think of Goonergal, I often go to tag her on here, and look for her responses to posts that would have entertained her.
As for my ‘ recipe’ you quoted, I’d forgotten I used to roll out a good quality burger as a base, I must do it again. However I can’t imagine why I wrote that goat cheese was a favourite topping, I’ve always hated it

Been to London for the day, helping my daughter move house. She treated me to dinner as a thank you, even better she’d found a low carb pasta takeaway called Nudi, strange name but my choice was lovely. For 3.7g carbs I had low carb pasta with chicken in a cream and spring onion sauce.

Wow! What a find. Whereabouts is it in London? I go up every year and although Nando’s is always my first port of call ( to Paul’s disgust: ‘it’s just chicken!’) it’d be good to have another option.

I think there are two branches, one in Fulham and another in Vauxhall. Not sure where ours came from as my daughter ordered it through Deliveroo or Ubereats:

Hello all. Not been too bad with m diet today. Dinner will be this evening and is braised beef with leek,broccoli stem, sprouts, mushroom, onion and carrot, just a little of each. at noon had a roll with butter, cheese and tomato and a creamy coffee. Tomorrow is Pensioners lunch but I'm taking my 2 lc crackers with cheese and missing out the pud.

That cauliflower looks a lot like a kind of piccalilli, except the florets are larger and the "sauce" a lot less. I assumed it was just spiced and not pickled, and decided to have a go at that myself. Not today though - not a day for standing, I think. That's why:

Breakfast: 3 strawberries, 5 raspberries with double cream poured over them.
2nd meal: the minced beef and pea mixture from a couple of days ago. Enough for a meal today and another later - maybe tomorrow.

Taking me all my time to clear the backlog of washing up, drying and putting away from my guests' visit on Friday. I didn't make things any better by deciding to clear out a wardrobe of all my size 18 dresses to pass on to DIL. She has just started her new job and has found that none of her old dresses or skirts fit her. She needs something a bit subdued from her normal brightly coloured and decidedly unusual taste. My too small dresses fit the bill and will tide her over for now. I thought I might find 2 or 3 size 18, but in fact found about 10. I was aching badly by the time I finished.

They are pickled. I checked the ingredients. There is some sugar (horrors!) in it, too, but it's well down the ingredients list. I also spotted mango and cornflower, but again, well down the list.

The main items are the pickling mix, tumeric, chilli, and garam masala.
 
Nothing until lunchtime then fried a large mushroom and two eggs in a mix of olive oil and butter with one slice of LC toast followed by a few nuts and a LC cake
Dinner roast beef with local asparagus and tenderstem broccoli plus glass of red wine followed by small amount of kefir and last of rhubarb now having decaffeinated coffee and a few squares of 100% chocolate with orange oil. Busy week ahead think I will be boiling half a dozen eggs in the morning to have in fridge to grab and take out with me over next few days!.

And a screenshot of the relevant part for the ones without Facebook. :)
He topped those sausage boats with cream cheese, some seasonings, jalapeno and grated cheese but I'm sure you can use any filling you like, looks quick and easy.
He also threw some mixed veggies (guessing mainly onions and bell pepper) on the tray next to the sausage boats to bake together and make a full meal.

I had a go at this today with a beef sausage.
I used mozzarella, a little of sundried tomato, some jalapeno, onion and grated cheese to stuff it. I baked the rest of the onion next to it.

This may well become a new favourite to liven up an otherwise slightly boring meal of veggies and protein.
Or I might even use it on its own on days I don't want to cook, I can simply have two of them and call it a meal.
I guess a pack of sausages will have to be added to my freezer for emergency meals! :joyful:

There were 4 sausages in a pack so I'll do some more experiments with different toppings in the next few days. :hungry:

11 a.m yohurt, seeds and 10 berries. Followed half an hour later with more yoghurt, more seeds and a small pear.
Mid afternoon 2 nut bars. Seem to be having a hungry day today
6pm out at an event in local curry House. Starter chicken tikka, just 3 small pieces. Main, lamb kebab with a spinach and paneer side. Had 2 mouthfuls of a very tasty mushroom rice then gave the rest away. Drank only water

But here I am some 6 hours later feeling over full , yet this only came on an hour or so ago. I wish I could understand why I only get these full feelings so much later
 
Today was a nightmare. I put on a new dexcom sensor but forgot to use alcohol swabs and the old site is infected. Oh well.

B: All-bran with blueberries (probably not low carb but lots of fibre)
L: Eggs with baby spinach leaves, tomato and onion
D: Lamb shank

Those infections can be nasty and deeper than you think.
Don't hesitate to get medical attention for it if you in any way suspect it isn't completely right.
You don't need the high BG going with an infection and it may need antibiotics.
 
I had edamame & mung bean fettuccine, with a chopped frankfurter, cream cheese, gruyere and cheddar cheese. I haven't had it before: the texture was good, I guess I'll get used to the taste.

Does anyone have any good alternatives? I've got wholewheat pasta, which is better than white, but still not low carb. Although it should have a low GI.
 
Yesterday I had:
L: 4 scrambled eggs in butter, 2 veggie sausage, avocado and then after plain greek yogurt, pecans, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, sugar free maple syrup.
D: Stir fried cabbage in olive oil, green beans, cauliflower cheese, salmon fillet, chopped tomatoes
After Dinner: 100% black chocolate (1/5 bar) with peanut butter on top

Welcome to the thread I find that it makes no difference Brown or white pasta both put up my blood glucose and are ruled out for me. I also have to check the bean pastas some are much higher carbs than others but I find the pasta I can eat - but only a small amount is the carbzone low carb pasta it's high protein and 14g of carbs and 60g of protein per 100g but I only eat around 15 to 20 grams of it -not only because of carbs but also price! I buy from Ocado but did a search online and looks like Morrisons sell carbzone as do Amazon. I also find it tastes just like pasta did when put in a sauce.
Many on this thread use veggies as a base instead of pasta for sauces I love shredded cabbage.

Hi Shelley,

That mung bean "pasta" has 3g carbs per 100g. I can put up with it I guess. I've already put in an order with SRSLY, so I'll probably try an order from CarbZone later on. I love cabbage, so may try that too.

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Ian, I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve brought some 100% green pea pasta from Sainsbury. I’m hoping it’s good and I’m hoping it won’t raise my BG. I’m very much at the experimental stage at the moment…..
