And only 8g carbs! Mixing the hollandaise with some 0% yoghurt keeps the calorie count around 240. It is gorgeous by the way. I love breakfast - best meal of the day for a diabetic

Dinner: Chicken wings done in a spicy rub, salad and sour cream dip
 
Yesterday:

Mrs DeeJay is off to her kayak club dinner of steak and chips, families not invited.
 
B&L - Boiled egg and about 6 squid rings out of an M&S pack while on the move.
(Go swimming early morning with grandson No 1 so no time to cook but that was followed today by a hunt for a new Christmas tree and shopping so was out until 5.30pm)
D. M&S Chicken and red wine casserole with cauliflower mash and spinach.
This is a new addition to the gastropub range and is really tasty at 210 calories and 10 g carbs. I needed something quick after the shopping exertions.
