Dinner was a disaster, so you probably wouldn't. How did you make your spicy cauliflower? I didn't eat it yesterday in the end so was going to have it today but it was horrible. I think a homemade version would be better. I ended up just making a mackerel pate, and took most of it over to my dad. I love things one day then my taste buds must be doing silly things coz the next day I've gone right off it.
 
The cauliflower was yummy - I boiled it for just a few minutes, so that it still retained a bit of a 'bite', and then I mixed it up with mayonnaise (Hellmann's on this occasion, although I do make my own too), cumin, freshly-ground black pepper and lime juice. Delicious! I'm definitely going to do that again - thanks for the idea! x
 
Ooh that sounds nice, I will definitely give that ago.
 
B: coffee n cream

L: ham, chicken, peri peri mayo, coffee n cream

D: chicken thigh, creamy broccoli and cauliflour, pepsi max

S: coffee n cream, pepsi max
 
Sounds really tasty. It's refreshing to hear there is some balance of carbs in there too. This no carbs philosophy does my head in- unachievable in my book, over the long term. Balance is good. X

Usual breakfast, full fat Greek yogurt, large tablespoon flaxseed, half a dozen raspberries, cup of tea.
Lunch about to be eaten. 2 poached eggs on 1 slice Hovis Seed Sensations toasted with loads of butter, few strawberries and cream.
Tea will be our usual Monday fry up, 3 rashers of bacon, fried egg, grilled tomato, loads of mushrooms, 97% sausage, maybe 6 stolen chips.

It was a very long time ago when I said that. I'm cringing seeing what I used to eat. My diet has changed a lot since then, and so have my blood sugars - much lower and flatter.. Eggs only for breakfast now, no carbs. No more Hovis bread - just the Lidle HP rolls, half of one at a time. I still have the yogurt and berries, but much later in the day, and still have the fry ups..

Sorry!
