What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

An oddly busy day yesterday.

12.30pm a portion of cheesy mince (think cottage pie with cheese instead of potato on top) 175g mince and about 50g cheese. Approx.
6pm a few salami crisps with a dab of egg mayo
8pm pork ribs. YUM!

Today we are thinking of eating out, with family. Should be interesting.
 
Your day out sounds amazing @Goonergal and great that you can see your fitness transformation I saw your body transformation photos this morning they came up on my phone when I was scrolling - all I can say is wow you look amazing - hard to believe it’s same person side by side like that I must do one. Well done you you really are a superstar
 

Would love the cheesy mice recipe...sounds Delish!
 
Hi folks. Facebook kindly reminded my wife it is 2 years today that we eventually discovered a cake I felt tasted like cake. I have posted the recipe but thought I would share images

Latest adaptation to lemon drizzle see original recipe above.
This time I made in 2 smaller tins - cooked for 45 mins - mixed a few spoons of inulin into lemon juice poured some on top back in for 5mins then took out of oven and added another generous amount added back in at 130 fan for 15 mins. Makes it stickier and browner on top.
Kept the successful earlier adaptations:
@maglil55 s egg separation method whisking egg whites and folding in at end makes it very light.
Adding a few drops of stevia to sweeten it up a bit more and balance the lemon a bit
 

Looks like its got a proper lemon drizzle crispy topping too.
 
I’m still clearing/ cleaning and decluttering and have realised that with my new way of eating, there are 2 things on my kitchen counter, taking up space, which I’ll never use again.....my spaghetti jar and my banana tree thing ( for hanging a bunch of bananas).

My eldest daughter has bagsied them so happiness all round.

@shelley262 that looks really good. I am getting the impression that there may be some hope for LC sweet food after all. Before this thread I had found most recipes turned out pants and felt the whole baked sweet area was probably a no go. New hope has been given.
Edit: As I type my baker is making the keto rolls and lemon drizzle cake so we shall see and taste the results.

@shelley262 . @ziggy_w and @Goonergal (who alerted me to the bakers) and anyone I missed. My baker has produced the rolls. With butter they work for me, getting the hint of my former favourites rye and dark sourdough. Great progress so thanks. Has anyone tried to make a loaf with this mix or bigger rolls as these seem a bit dinky for me? Lemon drizzle cake nearing completion and looks like a cake so I am hopeful there. Did a pretest for rolls so I will see what the rise is.
Once again. thanks folks bread type food may be on again
 
Noticed on @ziggy_w s thread that she has experimented with other low carb flours and wonder how much these change texture and make a loaf possible? I fancy trying with some lupin flour thought I’d buy some to add to mix after get back from hols....
 

I’ve seen mention of lupin flour, is it actually made from lupins or am I being a complete idiot?
 
Good ideas shelley we have an all purpose mix with vital wheat gluten taken from here https://donnareish.com/low-carb-flour-mix/ we made a loaf from this alone which was ok. Thinking of trying this mix, psyllium husk and yeast so will let you know how that goes.

Earlier in this thread but here is the link https://alldayidreamaboutfood.com/c...sour-cream-frosting-low-carb-and-gluten-free/ Our tweaks are due to my hatred of icing and frosting (surely the work of the devil?.) We make ganache with 100% chocolate, double cream and sweetner and use that for the layering. You could use it for the topping but methinks that would be exceptionally rich. We have also made a coffee and walnut version and a version with Lidl's sour cherries in Kirsch. Hope this helps

I went to an Ethiopian restaurant recently and all food is served with injera which is a bit like a pancake and used to scoop up the food instead of cutlery. I looked up what it is made from and it is teff flour. Has anyone come across this before and used it in anything else?
 
Hi @shelley262 Lemon drizzle made using tweaks, definitely sticky on top so I like that. Image here


Just testing 1 hr after rolls then trying this! At 1 hr went from 4.6 down to 4.1 with 1 roll so a miracle food
Cake looks like a cake and tastes "lemony" so a successful afternoon Thank you so much ladies this may appear at evenings, with LC vanilla custard or lots of cream as a dessert, on the very odd occasions I want a dessert.
Update: RIP Lemon drizzle cake. My wife forgot to hide it so her red setter pulled it down, ate most of it and my Lab may have cleared it up after we had a slice each - we may have consequences especially the poor old lab with those ingredients and dogs tummies
