Hi @Amanda61 - I have been making my own bread for several years and now being diagnosed T2 I am on the hunt for a decent bread recipe. Best on that I have found for myself so far is the Wheat and Bran Low-carb bread recipe that I posted here: ://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/bread-and-bread-recipes.77958/
Ingredients are a bit pricey and I get most of mine on Amazon.
 
B: creamy omelette with mushrooms and shallots

L: Le Pain Quotidien smoked chicken salad (with prosciutto, blue cheese, egg and avocado on mixed leaves)

D: lamb hears, leek & mushroom stew, Slim noodles; dessert of choc/banana protein powder (sweetened with sucralose), raw cocoa and a splash of cream (left a too-sweet aftertaste)
 

I don't know how I would be with all that wheat.
The one I've seen is done with flaxseeds.
I'll try it out and let you know
 
I'm under a lot of stress at the moment - my mum is in hospital with MRSA and my brother (who is autistic and lives with her) is struggling with the change in routine. Their house is a half hour walk away from mine so I'm spending a lot of time walking there and back, which is playing havoc with my BG. I was feeling especially low when I got back this afternoon so I thought sod it - let's have an almighty great fry up So I fried some bacon, sausages and onions, made some scramblers and added some sliced mushrooms and chopped tomatoes - it was just what I needed
 
Hope your Mum gets better soon and that things get better for you too. You have so much to cope with right now...and you really deserved that fry up

Thanks Gezzabelle, I thought so too Mum's on antibiotics at the moment so we have to wait and see how long she will be staying in hospital - mind you it won't seem so bad if I can come home to a nosh up like that
 
Mr A is laughing at my breakfast today,but I really enjoyed it!
1 sliced Debbie & Andrew's 97% sausage (left over from dinner last night) with 3 silverskin pickled onions and an ounce of cheddar cut into cubes. Reminded me of party food

Just made some creamed spinach. May have it with roast chicken tomorrow evening or bake an egg in it for my breakfast
Loving fat bombs as evening treat butter, coconut oil,peanut butter, cocoa/coffee and tad xylitol
Ice cube tray. Freeze. Yum

I made some yesterday but didn't add coconut oil or the sweetener so altho palatable, needs ( for me ) a little sweetening!!

Made some egg fried rice for Mr A and little Miss A tonight and it smelt lovely so I had a couple of spoonfuls. My BG has gone from 5.3 to 7.8 in an hour I'll consider that a clear sign that rice really isn't for me

Yesterday:
Breakfast: beef broth with mushrooms
Lunch: Salad of with anchovies, tomatoes, cheese, red pepper and cucumber
Dinner: Eggs in Purgatory (garlic and chilli flavoured tinned tomatoes with 2 eggs poached in it) Half a Lidl roll.

Think I need to cut out tomatoes and red peppers
 
Out to dinner at a brilliant eaterie in a big hut on a caravan site(!)
I award myself points for:
1) Checking menu beforehand & finding they could do variations
2) Ordering salad instead of chips with steak
3) Brushing aside the sticky pudding options and persuading them to do strawberries & cream since they had no cheese plate
4) Drinking fizzy water

I deduct points for:
1) Forgetting to ask them to hold the dressing on the salad
2) Eating 4 grapes found unexpectedly in salad
3) Eating 4 battered onion rings
4) Going to friends for black coffee afterwards and forgetting to test at home

Resolved to do better next time. **** nice fillet steak though.
