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

I think there are just 2 branches, both in Cornwall - certainly worth hunting out if you are visiting Truro or Falmouth. They’re called Bodega 18

Breakfast of Greek yoghurt and M&S granola.
Lunch was crispy air fried chicken wings followed by a handful of nuts and toasted coconut flakes.
Dinner a DietDoctor recipe taco stuffed portabella mushrooms with salad. Quite a lot of tea with milk drunk today.

Exactly the same food as yesterday, just a new pizza pic to show you all!

Finally found the time to make a peanut sauce again, should do it more often!
Green beans, onion, bell pepper, and garlic, spiced with a spoon of black beans in chilli oil.
Spicy peanut sauce.
Oven baked pork belly pieces rubbed in black bean and garlic paste.
Fried egg.

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

For lunch today I had a (very holey) sourdough bacon sandwich. For a late dinner I defrosted a chicken Jalfrezi and had it with a small portion of Basmati rice. I'm not sure what I'm having tomorrow, but it won't be curry!
