What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[IanBish]

Didn't feel like cooking tonight. Though I did make a cheese and mushroom omelette for lunch. So this evening I had half a tub of Greek yoghurt, some (bought) chicken breast, and a small packet of pork scratchings. I did spread the chicken out on a plate, and sprinkled it with black pepper, so that's cooking of sorts. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

I've had bought chicken shawarma, and also made it myself. I think I prefer my own, even though it may not be authentic.

Nothing you can buy @IanBish tastes half as good as what you make yourself, IMO.

 

[LivingLightly]

Ah yes I remember talk of them in here a while back. Thanks, a good excuse to go to Waitrose now.

I don't need an excuse @DJC3. I find it very difficult to walk past Waitrose!

Evening all

My kitchen faces north so stays cool most of the Summer. That said, with a scorcher in prospect, it would be too hot to cook this morning, so prepared lunch first thing and refrigerated.

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and four tiger prawns, all seasoned with a good grinding of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablets.
Espresso.

L: Appetiser: gazpacho
Salad using asparagus spears, French beans, mung bean sprouts, cucumber matchsticks, shredded red cabbage, Padron chillies, basil, coriander and mint, dressed with avocado oil, ginger, garlic, lemon zest and a touch of lemon juice, topped with toasted almonds and cashews.
Water to drink.

D: Seafood salad made with king prawns, crab, lettuce, sweet cicely, vine tomatoes, celery and salad onions dressed with home-made aioli for dipping and topped with pecan halves.
Water to wash down tablets.

But sometimes having a not as tasty meal is worth less hassle in the kitchen!

Today was another barbecue with my neighbours.

I do enjoy pork scratchings and was thrilled to discover they are common in grocery stores in south Texas, chicharrones, which sounds so much more fancy than scratching. In a variety of flavours too. A treat when I’m there.

Lovely late birthday surprise arrived in the post this morning from brother in law and partner who live in Wales - a perfect present for a low carber - air dried Welsh bacon and ham. Looking forward to trying a pack of bacon this weekend. All vacuum packed so good dates.

Breakfast low grain granola served with Kefir
Lunch hummus, olives, radishes, celery, kimchi and a few garden tomatoes followed by garden berries with yoghurt
Dinner last day of leftover cooked chicken and sausages with salads and two of mini crustless quiches made yesterday

Just finished meal with decaffeinated coffee and a low carb blondie.

 

[IanBish]

For lunch I finished off the tub of Greek yoghurt (which expired today) mixed with a chopped up Braeburn apple. For dinner I kept it simple: just bacon, mushrooms and mixed veg.

@shelley262 Let us know what the Welsh meats are like. They look delicious, as does your (cold) chicken dinner.

Will do - they eat the bacon regularly I gather and enjoy it.

Late breakfast of ham and eggs
Mid aft- way too many walnuts.
D- Low Carb Food Co pizza base topped with sour cream, chorizo and mozzarella. Blueberries and h/m yoghurt. Quite a lot of tea with lactofree milk.
@MommaE you’re so right, chicharrones sounds so much nicer than scratchings!
What a lovely and thoughtful birthday surprise @shelley262.

Indeed, especially when it's this hot and humid @Antje77. None of us wants to turn on the oven.

Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.

It's too hot for thinking today, let alone doing groceries or cooking.
So another LC toastie to the rescue, too bad the rather dried out end bit of cheese didn't really want to melt, still tasted good though.

Will have some raw chicory and hummus before bed by way of vitamins, will do better once temperatures drop again.

Mine were from Aldi, @Rachox, but that looks lovely. I miss sprouts, but I'd forgotten that I've got some in the freezer. But you can't beat fresh.
