Tonight I settled on an old favourite. Sirloin steak, fried mushrooms, and buttered, starch-resistant sprouts (well, frozen). The steak was lovely, and it made a change from curry!

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.

One avocado.

Dinner will be preceded by my usual small quantity of nuts - brazils, walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds - then grilled pork chop with broccoli, cabbage, a few runner beans (they are almost over now) and cauliflower. Butter on the veg.
Our runner beans seem to start and finish earlier now @Outlier; perhaps the result of climate change.

"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!"
Good evening @celeste123. Welcome to our forum and this thread for diabetic foodies.
We/re pleased you could join us.

Away from home and ate out with friends this evening. So just post pics of my meal out!
The pics are posted in the wrong order but you can imagine which order they should be!

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.

Hope you enjoyed it - that’s exactly the reason I did it too - I had all the ingredients in.

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

Morning all. Yesterdays food in no particular order. Ham with 2 fried in butter eggs; prawn cocktail; scrambled eggs with cheese. Today I have a chicken leg to airfry and a piece of salmon for tea. Have a nice day all
The delicate flavour of fresh salmon makes a lovely change from tinned fish @RosemaryJackson.
I hope you're recovering well.

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!
