What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[RosemaryJackson]

Yesterday'slunch at club.....Soup; cottage pie with cauli and carrots; sf jelly with yoghurt. Today it's my friends 80th birthday and we are eating out. For me it's an omelette with salad. No birthday cake.

Breakfast kefir as usual then fried some tomatoes in olive oil and served on LC toast
Lunch left over frittata followed by the peel from a local apple and a couple of squares of 90% chocolate
Dinner hm pork shoulder casserole served with cauliflower cheese. ( cauliflower is such a wonderful low carb food and probably one of the cheaper ones - I choose mine carefully and use everything including the outer leaves and end of stalks which get put in stock or soup) I've got plenty left for meals over next few days.

Today I fancied some pasta, so I cooked some wholewheat Penne and mixed it with mushrooms, minced beef and pasta sauce (~50 g carbs). I'd forgotten that I don't like wholewheat pasta (my CGM doesn't seem to like it either).

@DJC3 That steak looks amazing!

It was gorgeous, melt in the mouth tender and I ate far too much of it!

B- as usual these days was Greek yog with m&S granola.
L- smoked salmon, avocado and scrambled egg. 1 sq Lindt 90% chocolate.
D- Take away curry I had a tandoori mixed grill ( huge, could only eat half of it) mushroom bahjee and saag paneer which I couldn’t eat because it was sweet. The others here liked it though. It’s always a bit of a gamble trying a new curry house but this was local to where we’re staying on hols.

And to think I bought it as I (wrongly) thought it was good for diabetics! It wasn't too bad (glucose-wise) - up to 8.2, then back to baseline about two hours later. I won't eat it again mind.

Looks yummy

Didn't get my omelette and salad, believe it or not, it wasn't on the menu so I had fish and chips with garden peas. Took the batter off the fish (regretfully, I love the batter) and ate half the chips and all the peas. Felt very virtuous!

I had a fishy day today. For lunch I had Greek yoghurt followed by some sardines and olives in EVOO. For tea I had king prawns in a Marie Rose sauce on a bed of salad. As it turned out blurry, there's no picture of that, but it turned out very much like this.

@LivingLightly I saw some cavolo nero earlier. I didn't buy any, but should I?

Yes, you should!

Yes, absolutely. Another vote for Cavolo Nero! @IanBish.

Cavolo Nero is particularly low in carbohydrates so it's perfect for diabetics. It's a good source of important vitamins and minerals too.

You forgot about the delicious part!
I wish it was available here more than once in a blue moon.
