That lamb shank looks gorgeous! I plan on having one this weekend. I hope mine is as good as yours looks.

Breakfast kefir then mushrooms and poached egg
Lunch hummus, nuts and celery followed by a few berries and yoghurt. (I made a large amount of hummus using expensive, good quality extra virgin olive oil for our 50th Golden Wedding party last Saturday and very little was eaten on the day so it's been a daily lunch feature this week - I hate wasting good quality food. Think it will be okay for a week in fridge though - it's just rinsed and drained, cooked organic chick peas whizzed with six cloves of garlic, lemon juice, spoon of tahini, sprinkle of cummin, and lots of olive oil. Thankfully my bgs seem to tolerate the chick peas in a spoon of hummus. Out tomorrow for the day and made a low carb cheese roll to take so will be having a hummus break - you can have too much of even the good stuff! Back to it on Friday!)I
Dinner Sea bream with peas followed by hm LC lemon cake.

You hummus sounds lovely @shelley[emoji6] I’ve only dared have the smallest spoonful since going low carb but I might experiment, I love it.
Today I had scrambled eggs on L/c toast for breakfast.
Took a packed lunch to work - a sort of Greek salad and a DGF cake.
Dinner roast pork tenderloin with mushroom sauce, tenderstem broccoli and green beans. Four squares Montezuma’s AB

Hummus is an odd one for me, I can eat a lot more of it without insulin than you'd think according to the carb content, even with store bought hummus.
Worth experimenting with!

Try freezing the hummus in small pots or ice cube trays.

This is going to sound really stupid - but how do you cook chicken like that? I've never done chicken in a stew, only roast. Hubby needs to cut back down again as his readings are creeping up and I'm on a mission here

Sorry I don’t know, it was cooked by my brother!

Breakfast kefir then two poached eggs
Out for treat day in nearby Malvern for a hike and shopping.
Packed lunch on hike of low carb cheese roll.
Picked up an Easy Cook reduced sticker chicken meal from Waitrose I spotted - I tend not to buy packaged stuff but this wasn't bad with mainly ok ingredients and at 1.7 g of carbs for half a pack. Served with a few, cooked from frozen, green beans.



Afterwards had hm LC chocolate brownie.
