What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Brunneria]

B: bacon and 2 eggs, 2x coffee substitutes with cream
L: not needed
D: will be slow cooked lamb, tom, aubergine, etc (can no longer remember what I put in it. ) Will have a coyo later.

Edited: impulse change of plan! Avocado, salsa and baked eggs with cheese on top - instead of lamb, which will be tomorrow instead. Delish!

Tonight I tried LCHF Toad in the hole - this recipe:

http://christinebailey.co.uk/recipe/paleo-toad-in-the-hole/

I had to buy Tapioca starch via Amazon - and Almond Flour from Holland & Barrett, neither cheap!

For the two of us I did 2/3 recipes, calculated it to be around 13g per serving.

The finished dish:

Taste results: actually pretty good. I'm probably super critical, my partner said he loved it! A little coconut'y so I would fry sausages in olive oil - still try it with the coconut milk next time, but maybe then with almond milk if still coconut'y.

Also, needed a little longer than 20 minutes, I had oven at 180 fan, maybe 200 fab for 22 minutes or so would be good. A little soggy - but a good crust on it.

So, maybe not a Michelin Star dinner but would definitely make it again - with a slight refinement.

Your meals sound good - I want chocolate now though!

Thanks for comment on pic, I think the batter recipe I made could be a winner if I tweak it

Oh love, haven't you come across the magic of the Low Carb Mug Cake yet?
They are a darn sight quicker and easier to make than steamed puddings...

Sausage rolls, chips, beans, fried egg and bread and butter..

Steam Pud was done in Microwave, by Mrs Walnut Face, but thanks @Brunneria will give it a go
@PenfoldAPD steam pud is nothing as to a Creme Brulee

Went on a midday 3hr course in Indian cookery today to see how I could adapt basic recipes. I found I'm already doing it thanks to tips I picked up on this forum I sampled the sauces a lot as they were being made and the only off-limits thing I ate was a small pakora (deep fried veg and gram flower). So today ...
B Usual fry-up thingy
L Pakora & several tsps curry sauce
D1 Chicken curry (meat only)
D2 2-egg frittata with bacon, tomato, mushroom & cheese
S Slice warmed stracciatella cake with double cream
