I do miss Cox's Orange Pippins @shelley262, an old English apple variety that has a complexity of flavours with a kick!

Our crisp, apple-eating weather has arrived earlier than usual this year. I suppose I shall have to make do with its peel. When fully ripe, it has an attractive orange blush.

Lunch club today so no telling what I will have. Finger's crossed it won't be high carb.

 

[shelley262]

Breakfast no grains granola with kefir and a few garden berries
Lunch hm hummus with nuts, celery and a few garden tomatoes
My garden produce is sadly coming to an end but a fair few tomatoes harvested today so roasted them with some celery, garlic cloves, onion and a few herbs drizzled with cold pressed oil

I then used a blender when veggies cooked and cooled to make a sauce to which I added venison mince and mushrooms. Towards end of cooking took half out of casserole to make a chilli tomorrow and added a small portion of well soaked low carb pasta to the remaining portion so that pasta took on flavour of sauce during rest of cooking time.
Dinner had a portion of the low carb pasta casserole sprinkled with some parmesan shavings.

Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: meatballs in tomato and mascarpone sauce with runner beans and cauliflower.

I had a kidney stone a couple of years ago and it was found to be a calcium oxalate stone. I was advised to eat low oxalate to prevent a recurrence, so along with low carb it gets complicated. Today when I was checking something else I noticed that dark chocolate is high oxalate
I guess I’ll have to stick to DGF white and milk chocolate!

Two suggestions for next week's lunch club @RosemaryJackson.

Are there fellow diners who like potatoes but are not keen on green leafy vegetables? If so, perhaps you could swap your spuds in return for their greens.

If I were you, I'd take my own delicious LC pud rather than risk whatever they serve for afters.

No lunch as out and busy - Just coffee.
Dinner heated hm chilli - a spiced up version of yesterday's hm Bolognese with chilli and a few kidney beans ( I now buy a can of cooked kidney beans, drain and rinse lots and then use a quarter of the tin - with the other three, quarter portions, frozen for future use) an eighth of the can seems to be ok with my bgs - served with small glass of red wine. Just had a low carb brownie with decaffeinated coffee.
