Breakfast kefir with no grains LC granola
Lunch out at Cote for lunch but definitely didn't read the menu description properly I spotted the bun and the frites and asked for them to be left off my burger meal they offered extra salad as a swap which was good. He asked did I want the cheese topping which I did but he didn't mention the huge spoon of sugary chutney that came between the burger and the cheese! So I had to scrape off the generous chutney which in my view tasted like jam!
Dinner made a frittata with ham, cheese and mushrooms made a large one for sharing with six eggs but lots left for leftovers tomorrows lunch. Served my share with coleslaw and salad.

The frittata looks lovely @shelley262 I sympathise about the lunch though, I’ve often had annoying surprises when I haven’t noticed ‘extras’.
Today I had h/m yoghurt with raspberries and M&S grain free granola.
Lunch was egg mayo and lettuce on l/c bread. A small amount of organic toasted coconut chips to follow, which quickly turned into a large amount. I can’t be trusted around them - way too moreish.
Dinner was DD keto Chinese pork stew with cabbage. It’s a very simple dish which tastes sublime. 1 glass dry white wine.

Just goes to show, eating out can be a minefield @shelley262 even after years of practice.
Nope, they were the same spareribs we always have, and the exercise should have easily dealt with it. Just one of those days I guess.
Today was another day of andijviestamppot with cheese cubes and bacon rashers.

It's a mystery @Antje77. I've sometimes experienced something similar following brisk exercise.

Did you have the butter mayo while it was still warm? I bet that would be gorgeous with the salmon, like a hollandaise sauce.
B- 2 eggs fried in butter and topped with grated Gruyère while still in the pan so it melted.
The day ran away with me, got home at 4:30 thinking it was lunchtime and made a toasted cheese sandwich using 90 second mug bread recipe and Gruyère, and fried in butter. Couple of cherry toms.
D- blackberries and yoghurt to keep Paul company while he ate his dinner at the normal time ( I wasn’t hungry having had lunch only an hour earlier)

Looks absolutely amazing!
