Sounds a bit like my lazy mackerel pate, but better! I am definitely doing this, thanks.
@DJC3 I tend to mix them in at the end and eat asap I also add cheese often and if I do that some small spring onions. I also add cider vinegar sometimes especially if I have this in place of my monster salad. This is a quick meal either after exercise or if we are late back from somewhere. I have always loved bowl food (yes Nigella) and if I could eat all meals from a bowl, with a spoon my life would be perfect!
Hi all.
Such lovely food this evening, its taken me ages to scroll through all the wonderful looking menus.
@vanillapie I’ve only just started drinking wine ( or anything) again and like you I’m treading warily: just seeing what effect it has. I think you can only judge by what it does to you personally. Drink and test. Good luck.
@Goonergal your weekend with your dad sounds great, if a bit scary with the Victoria sponge situation. I’m finding social events more of a worry than I anticipated. You seemed to come back to normal levels in good time though, so presumably IR is improving. Must admit I’d panic a bit at the thought of being offered a normal cake.
@shelley262 your dinner sounds lovely. When is your A1c test? I remember you saying it was soon. Glad your keto rolls worked ok. I keep meaning to try them but haven’t got round to it yet.

Good luck for your blood tests I will be wishing you well from afar, I’m sure your hard work and dedication will be reflected, I look forward to seeing a positive post and hopefully I will hear you whopping with joy while I’m relaxing on my sunbedHi hbaca1 bloods taken this Wednesday and DN review following Wednesday just before go to my mums to help her pack for hols. However I have online access now thankfully so will be checking for my exam results regularly from following day! Not sure how long before on computer...... I feel oddly nervous. Mysugr suggests 31 but I’d be happy with current 33 - as had only come off Metformin 6 weeks before last test. This will be first test with no pills in whole 6 month period so trying to be realistic. I’m more concerned about cholesterol as it was high last time and statins refusal was an issue at least seeing result before review will give me preparation time,
Ok you've got me interested. Creme Brulee was always my go to dessert (Well that and trifle) and I knew it had to be "low-carbable" apart from the crispy, cracking top so anything that resolves that issue has my attention.@shelley262 here is a link https://www.pressreader.com/uk/daily-mail-weekend-magazine/20170121/283888752772622
Hope it is useful although not quite caramel per se I would guess you just adapt as per caramel with sugar.
Do you know what you did differently with this batch?Evening all
Impressive food cooked today by @Goonergal and @ianpspurs - love the sound of your cheesecake Ian I have rubharb growing nicely at the moment had wondered about rhubarb fool, must try it. Hungry day today and made some diet doctor keto rolls they weren’t as risen as last time but at least were not hollow @maglil55 !
Breakfast bacon, egg, sausage and half a large tomato
Lunch dd rolls toasted and served with scr@mbled egg yolks remaining from dd rolls recipe which uses 3 egg whites followed by thin slice of lemon cake.
Dinner slow cooked sirloin beef served with braised celery and cauli cheese followed by low carb lemon and lime mousse
Hope everyone had a good weekend.
@maglil55 On the basis that you need to kiss an awful lot of frogs to find your Prince with diet the book is well worth it. Lots of common sense in there and he is probably the only proper chef to write a book with recipes so at least there is a fighting chance of recipes tasting good. My own preference/aim is still to get as close as poss to the Hemsleys but that is just me!Ok you've got me interested.

It may also be the solution to the crisp exterior of the Russian Tipsy Cake I was talking about.
I'd been swithering about Tom Kerridge's Dopamine book for a while but to be honest I got a bit miffed when he admitted to losing all that weight on low carb but then fronts a low calorie programme. Is the Dopamine book worth it?
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/pork-chops-green-beans-garlic-butterBed 6.1 FBG 6.4. Didn't have the campari yesterday but did have the wee Prosecco. Been dealing this morning with 2 very narked grandsons over the swimming situation. Their instructor has managed to get the new premises 4 weeks early now but that still leaves us with narky children who really don't like change. They were prepped for the move in June but now it's immediate. Anyway
B. 2 scrambled eggs, slice Hovis lower carb seeded with Lurpack and Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream.
L. Nothing
D. Diet Doctor pork chop with beans and garlic butter.
I'm adding avocado and 4 sliced sprouts to the green beans. No swimming tonight thanks to the gym closing.
@maglil55
If you like phaffy cooking, then the Dopamine book has lots of recipes that throw a lower carb spin.
I bought it when it was on offer on Amazon, went through every page and came up with only half a dozen recipes that attracted me - purely and simply because I am a v lazy cook, and the amount of steps, cheffy detail and unnecessary bits of washing up that the man advises is ABSURD.
I have done each of those half dozen recipes, to delicious effect, but in each case I was able to reduce his fuss and fiddle down by several steps, avoiding dirtying every bowl in the kitchen or having to use slave labour to clean up afterwards.
Horses for courses.
The lamb in anchovy remains a favourite.
Don't mind the >6 items issue as long as I can see them growing/breathingI agree about unnecessary steps and washing up! I also get put off if the ingredient list exceeds 6 items!
Glad to say I have a commie/Kitchen porter (otherwise known as husband) who preps as instructed and cleans up behind me.Don't mind the >6 items issue as long as I can see them growing/breathing
And add 10 of these salami crisps. They're brilliant. Haven't eaten them all yet but they won't make it to the end of the day!
