Oh I miss those huge Lidl rolls. I remember @ziggy_w coming over from Germany for a DCUK meet up with a suitcase full of them for us as they were still available there!
The NLC pasta is one of the better ones I have to say. I prefer it as a carbonara, and I like that you can get it in 100g bags. I still think the best ever was Oomi noodles as a substitute, but they went capute during lockdown. Lidl did their version of the oomi noodles, but, like their LC rolls (remember the triangular one), they vanished never to be seen again!
Welcome to this friendly thread new ideas and contributors always welcome. As you say it's about ideas and inspiration for others. Look forward to seeing what you are eating to achieve your good numbers you're doing great.Can I join the what you ate team? I read the thread every day and have had lots of inspiration but have never posted because it often (to me) seems a bit "fancy" (pre-diagnosis my family had their main from one drawer in the freezer and their side from another)
This morning I was thinking one, what I'm eating is improving and two, what I'm eating might let another newbie see you can achieve good numbers without being an ace cook. (it also means people can let me know if they spot glaring errors)
So plain fayre and dirty keto soft drinks it is.
Yesterday- breakfast was 2 rashers of streaky bacon and an egg fried in olive oil with a slice of heylo bread. (fried bread yum)
lunch was 4 rollitos, a hard boiled egg and a baby bel.
dinner was some seasoned beef cubes in the air fryer with half a bag of cauliflour rice mixed in mayo followed by a wee chunk of stilton.
must be tough sorting through so much paperwork but how lovely finding some lost vital documentation - makes it worth while. Particularly tough when you're not feeling good.Breakfast: bacon and eggs.
Lunch: Had 2 RyVita and cheese "sandwich" because BG was down a bit, but not too far.
There will be another meal today. It will be a chicken thigh with Brussels sprouts.
Feeling a bit frazzled and headachey today - must be the antibiotics. Very difficult to stay awake but I have yet another pile of paperwork to sort out. Dumped quite a lot but there's lots that should have been filed away from years back. At least I found my lost birth and marriage certificates - in a letter claiming my merchant navy pension as Tom's widow - that was over 6 years ago. That's how long this particular basket of paper has been waiting to get sorted.
I realised I had gradually fallen into the habit of having an alcoholic drink every evening.
Last I had this week was Sunday. Am going to go dry until this Sunday, just to prove I can.
If you see me creeping up towards daily again, please nudge me. It seems too easy a habit to fall into. Thank you!
What a wonderful meet up that was and so kind of @ziggy_w bringing them over from Germany.
Evening @Margarettt. Welcome to this thread for diabetic foodies. It's nice to have another new face on board. We can all learn from each other.Can I join the what you ate team?

They look great on the plate. And in the egg. Lots of butter too.Don't usually put on photos of my breakfast but I'd said to @IanBish that I'd put on photos of my roll from the low carb company. I slice them so can cut them into soilders!

Stroganoff is one of these "even better second day"Couple of black coffees to start the day, goat milk kefir mid morning.
L- cold chicken breast with spinach, red pepper and kimchi. Warm DGF Crimbo Crumble with clotted cream ( heavenly)
D- leftover chicken stroganoff, supposed to be with cauli rice but I’m lazy and just chopped it up a bit rather than ricing it. Sauteed with red onions and some of the outer cauli leaves. Red wine. View attachment 65890
I vary how I do cauliflower rice. Sometimes I start it off in melted butter, always with sliced spring onion, and chopped parsley. From there it depends what I'm having it with. With chicken, I'd add some peas and some chicken stock. A Chinese dish, I add peas and a little tamari soy. I've also added exotic mushrooms, parmesan, cooked in a mushroom or chicken stock, and some mozzarella at the end.Brunch - 3 cheesey scrambled eggs, washed down with a mug of earl grey tea and half of a fudged up grenade bar
Dinner - 2 small avocados (morrisons savers, not very good so I will give a miss next time), chili salmon roasted in the air fryer with brussel sprouts with lots of butter, broccoli and a little carrot. Kefir with chia and flaxseeds mixed thru, topped with raspberries and blueberries. 2 squares of lindtt 90%
How do yous make cauliflower rice tasty?
I've never thickened it. I just let it reduce and thicken naturally.I made a ragu and had it with roast cauliflower this evening. Trouble is it was a bit watery and I obviously can’t thicken it with flour like I used to. I don’t want to use xantham gum as it always turns a bit jelly-fied. Any suggestions please?
Evening @IanBish.I haven't yet reached the heights of @LivingLightly's recipes (I wish I could see the pictures).
