What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Same evening meal as yesterday, without the low carb bread and on a prettier plate: Slow cooked beef and onion stew.

For my tea this evening I kept it simple: just bacon, mushrooms and garden peas.

That mash looks a bit lumpy (I used to love their mashed potato)

Today should have been the 3rd day of beef and onion stew but I didn't feel like it. Froze part of the leftovers, left a portion in the fridge and made myself a toastie of LC bread with 'raclette cheese' (Lidl, melts quickly so much easier to not burn the bread before the cheese has melted) and Schwarzwalder Schinken (also Lidl, German dry cured ham).
Dip of mayo, a drop of water, hot sauce, and a little Branston pickle for some sweet and sour kick.

Evening @DJC3.

I confess I've never actually tried a commercial blend of duqqah, but a jar I happened to come across contained about 50 per cent dried chick peas so not diabetuc friendly and included peanuts, but no actual nuts at all. I expect there are better quality blends available.

My recipe came from well known Eqyptian cookery writer, Claudia Roden, so I'm sure it's authentic. Preparation fills your kitchen with a pleasant aroma, so it's a real pleasure and very easy to make.

Good morning all. Today I'm having scrambled eggs on toast for lunch and ham salad for tea. Hav a nice day.

 

[Outlier]

Nothin' yet. Dinner will be preceded by the usual small but exquisite portion of mixed nuts, followed by the vaguely Mediterranean thingy of chunks of leftover lamb from yesterday, brewed slowly with sliced aubergine, courgette, tomatoes, leeks, olives, chives, rosemary, sage, garlic, olive oil, a vegetable stock cube and a couple of slices of lemon. All but the olives and herbs pre-prepped and frozen. For those who worry that not being able to cook results in boring or limited meals - this is one of many dishes I do that take a few minutes to organise, and cooks itself. One pot.

If I get hungry beforehand, there is some Greek yoghurt to fill the gap, but I probably won't need it.
