Lunch was Greek yoghurt, a Braeburn apple and a few Brazil nuts. Dinner was a home made beef Madras (ish) with a small portion of basmati rice.

Homemade ketchup is the absolute best! Passata, tomato puree and apple cider vinegar with a little seasoning of your choice. Simmer for half an hour and it's really delicious with no carbs

Welcome to our forum and this thread for diabetic foodies @JenHarvey.

Completely agree. You can't beat home-made condiments; nothing we can buy tastes half as good as those we make ourselves.

Once again, welcome.

Before diagnosis I used to really enjoy basmati rice @IanBish, sometimes with the addition of wild rice depending on the accompanying dishes.

Unfortunately, it pushed my blood glucose up to unacceptable levels and so it stays firmly off the menu
these days.

Today:

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 tablet.
Espresso.

L: Baked halloumi and sweet peppers
Hummus and salad using cucumber, salad burnet, rocket, Halkidiki and Kalamata olives. raspberries, strawberry halves and mint, dressed with olive oil, garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice and topped with toasted sesame seeds.
Skipped pud.
Water to drink.

D: Seafood salad using crab, brown shrimps, lettuce, vine tomatoes, celery and salad onions with home-made aioli for dipping and topped with toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds.
Water to wash down tablets.

It was only half a pouch, @LivingLightly. I froze the other half for next time. I like cauliflower rice, but not with curries, unfortunately.

We're all different @IanBish. If you can get away with it, why not?

Fortunately, if I cook cauliflower rice the same way as Indian fried rice with butter, cinnamon stick(s) and cardamom pods, my family and friends don't seem to notice provided that I don't let on.
