Breakfast kefir then fried some tomatoes in olive oil served on low carb toast and one fried egg
Lunch some goats cheese mixed with sauerkraut followed by peel of local apple
Dinner wild salmon with cauliflower cheese ( it's a big cauliflower - veggies for at least five meals!) Cauliflower cheese is delicious I think but very beige and not very photogenic but excellent low carb veggie! Pudding DGF low carb chrimbo crumble - added a few drops of brandy before warming and serving with spoon of double cream.

Agree about cauli cheese not being photogenic - such a shame as it’s so good!
I’m not sure whether to thank you or not for your tip of adding a tot of brandy to the Crimbo Crumble. I might remember that for Christmas Day, I daren’t do it now, I can imagine how deliciously moreish it would be.
 
Breakfast of a cheese and mushroom omelette with a spoonful of h/m sauerkraut.
Out all day at graduation ceremony for a family member so no lunch. Did have a complementary glass of Prosecco afterwards though.
Dinner out at a tapas restaurant. Harissa chicken on bed of garlic aubergine puree, king prawns, meatballs in a fiery tomato sauce and fried aubergines with something hot sprinkled on them. Photo is the harissa chicken, all the dishes were fab though and BG only rose 1 mmol.

Was that restaurant part of a chain? Always looking for recommendations
 
Finally found the time to make a peanut sauce again, should do it more often!

Spicy peanut sauce.

I expect the same meal tomorrow, maybe the day after as well, and then I'll likely turn the leftovers into peanut soup.
