Hi All I am back after a real food rut and my A1c slipping to 39 after 6+ years at 36. I think it might be self motivating to write down again what I eat.
So yesterday usual brekkie of slice LC toast, copious tea, hardly any milk.
Lunch was small cold plate of a sliced tomato, cucumber, crustless quiche and dessp of coleslaw.
Supper was 8 mini meatballs in a tom & chilli sauce, 2 oz spaghetti.
I have started having a small serving of spag every fortnight or so because its easier when cooking for Mr P and its altogether nicer than any substitute. Tried the green beans, meh and hated courgetti.
Today same usual brekkie.
Lunch will be scrambled eggs, 2 or 3 depending on how I feel.
Supper h/m chicken curry, tin tom base, and cauli rice.

I am not a breakfast cereal fan but I think its wonderful that M&S have provided that granola. I wonder if a small amount mixed with melted high cocoa chocolate would make a good bar. Note to self: stop! No snacking allowed!
My issue is I am a lazy cook and find it easier to stick to adapt the usual meals that Mr P likes.

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. :joyful:
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. :hungry:

That looks very tasty. Over here a pointy cabbage is a romantically named 'sweetheart' cabbage. I'm sure someone will tell us if I'm wrong.
 
Pressies from a friend's garden today some dahlias - see new avatar - and some runner (also called stick) beans see dinner photo.
Breakfast kefir then scrambled eggs on low carb toast
Lunch kimchi, low carb seeded crackers and some cheese followed by a few garden berries and hm yoghurt
Dinner pork steaks (marinated with garlic and lemon) with runner beans and garlic mushrooms and glass of dry white wine

Spot on @RosemaryJackson. Pointed cabbage is otherwise known as sweetheart cabbage because the heart of the cabbage has a sweetish flavour compared with, say, white cabbage. It's delicate leaves require less cooking.

Trust me to simply cut it up, throw everything in the pot, and add some strong flavours, nothing delicate about it. :hilarious:

Today was the third and last day of the same dish, no picture needed.

I decided in my wisdom to buy some 100% Dark Choc. A different brand. That was a bad idea. Had a very small amount and it was horrible. Put the rest of the bar in the fridge. It will probably still be there at Christmas....
 
Breakfast kefir then cooked a few small green tomatoes in olive oil and served on LC bread (liv life) with a fried egg
Lunch kimchi, some cheese ( vintage cheddar and stilton) with LC seeded crackers followed by a few garden berries with hm yoghurt
