Can anyone advise as to the carb value of croutons please?
I love Caesar Salad and you really need just a few to give a bit of crunch.

According to Carbs & Cals 15g of croutons is 10 carbs :) That's 12 croutons according to the photo in the book.
 
Oh good - I had 4 so only only 3 or 4g of carbs.
Well worth it.

Thank you - do you have Carbs and Cals as an app or hard copy?

Recipes vary, but it's basically a nice strong quality black coffee with a couple of tablespoons each of butter and coconut oil whipped into it.

I've only come across it recently myself. Tastier than it sounds.

Thank you. ..but no thank you! There's no way I could even think of drinking that without vomiting...
Why would you?

How do you make the spinach and cheese pancake?

I skipped the basil and added some grated cheddar as well, plus fried as pancakes rather than waffles. I did half and it did 2 medium frying pan sized pancakes.

I just had a go at these with what I had lying around. So, cream cheese instead of cottage cheese, kale instead of spinach, no extra cheddar. They came out looking very much like real pancakes - didn't taste of much though. Maybe some mustard or stronger cheeses next time.

But thanks very much for the idea. It's great!
 
Today I have eaten:

B: Fried egg, 2 rashers and 2 chipolatas, grilled mushroom and tomato

L: Smoked Mackeral, Mozzarella balls, sundried tomato and marinated artichokes.

D: a boneless leg of lamb that was 1/2 price at the butchers cooked on the BBQ with pea purée (just peas, mint and garlic) and a few veg cooked then sautéed in butter.

Had a Mojito earlier ( not sweet as we don't like them sweet made with agave nectar)


Drinking a bottle of Malbec/Shiraz currently.


This Low Carb eating is sooooo tough

I can't disagree.

I drink my coffee black mostly, and tea very strong with the tiniest splash of skimmed milk.

I idea of having either drink with even full fat milk makes me shudder, so the thought of cream or anything else makes my stomach do awkward things !!!!
