Morning all. Monday lunch at the village hall today (comes round quickly!). No idea what it will be, I'll let you know tomorrow. Yesterday I stuck with boiled eggs and a couple of tomatoes. Drank lots of water. Have a good week everyone.

Well, as a rule, you can't go wrong with boiled eggs @RosemaryJackson. Hope today's mystery lunch at the village hall is diabetic-friendly and settles all right.
 
Evening all

Today:

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and three crevettes all seasoned with a good grindings of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablets.
Espresso.

L: Baked halloumi and sweet red peppers.
Hummus with Kalamata olives.
Salad using cucumber, salad burnet, rocket, salad onions, raspberries, strawberry halves and mint, dressed with olive oil, garlic, a touch of lemon juice and topped with toasted sesame seeds.

B poached egg on mashed avocado on a slice of toasted Nordic bread.
L- leftover tuna muffin and a spicy coated chicken strip from yesterday’s picnic. Sort of cheesecake to follow ( strawberries mashed with cream cheese and a bit of sour cream)
D beef curry with cauli rice cooked in coconut oil and cumin seeds. The curry sauce was made using this recipe, it’s delicious and very easy - I try to keep a batch in the freezer so I can just add cooked meat/veg/prawns etc if I need a meal in a hurry https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/search?q=Curry simmer sauce
 
Yesterdays menu at lunch club. Tomato soup to start; Main course; 2 scoops of mashed potato, carrots, cabbage and a pork steak; I took my own sugar-free jelly for afters because they always have sponge and custard or something like that. Today I have a chicken breast which I'm going to stuff with a babybel and airfry, plus salad. Hopefully the sun will stay out so enjoy.
 
Usual visit to M&S this morning after school run, picked up a lot of yellow sticker fish today so freezer is comfortably full and todays meals sorted. I also remembered to get the grain free granola @Rachox mentioned so that was breakfast with a dollop of Greek yoghurt. The granola is excellent.
L- smoked salmon and avocado
D- poached salmon fillet with salad topped with pumpkin seeds. Finished with what the greatly missed Goonergal called Lazy Mousse ( melted 100% chocolate stirred into extra thick cream)

Unfortunately, potatoes contain too much starch for some of us @RosemaryJackson. I cannot handle spuds in any form, so take the easy route and avoid them altogether.
 
@DJC3 I’m glad the M&S granola was good. Does it have a long expiry? I might buy a box for any occasion I won’t have coconut ‘porridge’. Does such an occasion exist?!

Finally a day of cooking again, after 5 days of eating with neighbours. The last 3 of those 5 days were low carb: two days of barbecue and salad, and only a small bite for taste of the more carby dishes like birthday cake, German kartoffelsalat made by the 80 years old mum of our host (not something to refuse), and a very small piece of bread. Last day was a Moroccan tajine dish with meat, veggies, tomatoes and potatoes, but it was very easy to avoid the potatoes and no-one minds, they know my eating habits.
Best not to talk about the first two days in this section of the forum though.

Today was something easy and experimental: An onion, pointed cabbage, garlic, shawarma, cream cheese, and some spices and tomato paste, very tasty.

 
Breakfast kefir then one slice of bacon and one egg on one slice of low carb toast
Lunch some kimchi and spoon of hummus on LC seeded crackers followed by a few garden berries with hm yoghurt
Dinner venison meatballs in hm passata with a small portion of pre soaked low carb pasta mixed in and topped with fresh basil and parmesan shavings. With glass of red wine.

Pudding of a few raspberries with sugar free jelly and dash of cream.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: coffee shop coconut cappuccino and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: cheese and mushroom omelette (a bit scuffy this one!)

 
Sounds delectable. Do you grow basil? @shelley262.
