What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Fathead crackers? I've just learned Fathead Pizza but not heard of the crackers?
I've not tried them (yet) but they are in my 'must make' folder. I understand it is the same recipe as the pizza just a lot thinner and cut in to cracker size, then baked until brown and crispy. From what I've read they don't go crispy unless very thin.
 
How did the celeriac roasties go??
 
BG has been great today 7.2 before breakfast which was homemade chia and flaxseed porridge.
Wasn't hungry throughout the day, checked BG before dinner and it was 5

For the first time I made cauliflower and cheese sort of pizza base, without eggs and twas divine, only ate 2 small slices as its so filling. I've so much to learn about low carbing the vegetarian way .. todays food was delish
 
I managed to get the pizza crisp but it was indeed seriously thin but more by accident than design.
 
B: Fried Egg, 2 x Bacon & Tea
L: Smooth Pate and a picked egg

S: Pork Scratchings and a Bottle of Stella
D: Venison Steak with a Blackberry sauce, celeriac dauphinois, red cabbage and broccoli.
Blackberries with cream.

Pinot Noir
Sounds good - particularly the venison with blackberries
 

I'm loving the sound of your menu ... especially the cheesecake ... did it need to set in the fridge before serving?
 
Smoked Salmon on platter, made some filled smoked salmon nibbles too . Marie Rose made for prawns. Neeps boiled and mashed, tatties boiled and mashed for everyone else and cauliflower mashed for me. Haggis in the oven. Cream whipped and whisky added, rasps cleaned and a nice toasted oat brittle about to be whizzed and put to one side. Nothing else to do other than have a Drink! Oh and I'm at 5.1 now. It's nudging down.
 
Hello
B. Red berries with yoghurt

L. At cafe, prawn cocktail followed by scrambled eggs and smoked salmon.

D. Leftover bolgnaise . 4 strawberries with yoghurt.
 
@Angelofthemarches - celeriac roastie update!

They didn't go crispy or crunchy like normal roasties, but they were very tasty indeed and were a very enjoyable substitute. Next time I might try to crisp them up in a frying pan before serving.

Just a thought , I used to roll roasties in semolina which gave them crisp coats. No good now at 7g carbs per tblsp but my substitute coating is ground pork scratchings and parmesan mixed together. Might help with the celeriac roasties?
 
An Eating Day

B: bacon and egg
L: lc orange cake and cream
S: pork scratchings
D: Tom Kerridge's slow roasted lamb shoulder with anchovy crust and onion gravy, with mustard spring greens. Also did mashed celeriac.

A very interesting dinner. I have never taken 6 hours to slow roast a lamb shoulder before, but my goodness, it was worth it! Melting. Not 100% sure about the anchovy crust. Didn't rock my world.
The onion gravy was supposed to have sherry vinegar in it, but i only had Mirin. Which was sublime. I will be doing that again.
I boiled the celeriac in lamb stock, then mashed it roughly in butter. Oh yesssssss. Am thinking celeriac is showing promise. Only had it for the first time last weekend, so it is all a new experience.

I'm enjoying cooking at the mo. It usually bores me rigid, and i do the minimum and get out of the kitchen. I'm wondering if it stems from having the new boiler, so the kitchen is no longer The Icebox From Hell...?
 
Breakfast - linseed & oat porridge with chia seeds. Greek yoghurt, strawberries, pear & cinnamon. Coffee

Lunch - poached egg, ham, spinach & pumpkin seeds

Snack - walnuts & dark chocolate squares x2

Dinner - stir fry cauliflower rice with red pepper, peas, roast chicken, Swiss chard. Sauerkraut on the side.

Spinach & Swiss chard both from my garden, so extra satisfaction from that.
 

If you can get hold of them - try beef short ribs slow cooked. Beef cheeks are also amazing.
 
B: Hard Boiled Egg & 1/2 Apple

L: Celery & Cauliflower Soup & Wardorf Salad

D: Atlantic Cod Fillet w/Cauliflower Cheese, Broccolini & Buttered Mushrooms

Probably some Jelly, Strawberries & Cream later.
 
Day 6 of Week 3

Breakfast: Blueberries and raspberries and Asda full fat Greek style yoghurt

Lunch: Nothing
