Hello again Old friends - well Adele is a Spurs gel. I'm here for a possible favour but I'll stay on topic.
Keto Hana's raspberry granola (30 gms) soaked overnight in almond milk with 48 gms ground flaxseed then added 108 mls Biotiful original Kefir (overestimated) 3x 750/800 mls Assam with almond milk over a 4 -4.5 hr period
Keto chef multi seed roll, president soft butter, Cornish cruncher cheese. (prompted google search for ketoish sweet pickle* - may try this if and when available) JKP forgot to order the Jarslberg
CWC and 2 x h/m blueberry muffins - 100 gms in all (Sugar free Londoner recipe) while waiting to collect grandchildren
Large salad with 3 extra large free range eggs from M and S via Ocado
The favour? Does anyone still have the recipe or link to the infamous CCBs - yes I know I created the recipe (sorry about those burnt suacepans ) but that was about 6 Prime ministers and 1 monarch ago. Thanks in anticipation.
*cheese roll sans pickle after 8 years is just " not giving" or as my neighbors (I know, I know) would say. I've tried the SRSLY one and have limited tolerance for the taste of most LC/Keto swaps - see below

Greetings @ianpspurs and welcome to this thread for diabetic foodies.

Likewise, I've sometimes enjoyed Keto Hana's cinnamon granola with ground flaxseed (it tastes too sweet by itself), organic, unsweetened almond milk and double cream as an easy lunch time pud.

"Today’s meals have been delicious and low-carb! For breakfast, I had a veggie omelet with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese, which kept me full and satisfied. Lunch was a grilled chicken salad with mixed greens, avocado, and a light vinaigrette. For dinner, I made a zesty cauliflower rice stir-fry with shrimp and bell peppers. I also enjoyed a handful of almonds as a snack. Keeping it low-carb and tasty!"

B- H/m yoghurt with blueberries and M&S grain free granola.
We had our main meal at lunchtime today - it was another DietDoctor recipe involving pork fillet, mushrooms and green beans in a creamy rosemary infused sauce.
D- After Aquafit class was cheese, nuts and a couple of the Olina’s pumpkin crackers. I finally bought them from Amazon but have since found them in a deli nearby.
Forgot photos today.

Having googled that pork recipe I think that’s now the plan for tomorrow’s dinner. Love it when you have all ingredients ready to go, especially garden fresh beans. Thank you for the suggestion.
 
Breakfast was buttered zucchini bread eaten “on the hoof” as I rode my bike to the courts. Thought I saw a bear, was quite worried until I realized it was log.
Lunch was planned over lamb kofta, lettuce and garden grown cucumber with lovely hm blue cheese dressing
Dinner will be store bought chicken sausage on lc hot dog roll. I made proper rolls for my husband which look much more appealing. I think pickled red cabbage on the side. This has been my best year ever for growing red cabbages.
 
Been busy and then away.
Monday was breakfast of M and S no grains granola with kefir and a few garden berries
No lunch
Dinner salads and last of roast chicken
Tuesday the m and s granola and kefir
Lunch two boiled eggs I'd packed for journey
Mid afternoon a taste of a few wonderful keto kitchen cakes - a kind gift from a friend
Dinner steak out ( first was a rib eye which was inedible so they replaced with a fillet and as an apology took steak off bill and gave me a free glass of red wine)

The scrambled eggs did indeed look a bit pale. But your omelette looks stunning.

Before diagnosis, I used to scramble my eggs with a touch of evaporated milk @Rachox. That's off the menu now of course, but I find a dollop of double cream stirred in improves the colour and goes down a treat!
