Oh blimey! I’ve just spent nearly £50 on Adonis bars. I Couldn’t decide which to get. It’s always a mistake to browse Amazon at this time of night. (Haven’t even had a drink).
Brownies, Blondies, Pecan bars and Vanilla bars!Did you go for the brownies and greenies this time too?![]()
Brownies, Blondies, Pecan bars and Vanilla bars!
Managed to check out before I ordered Greenies too. I thought they would probably need refrigeration like the Blondies and Brownies and my fridge is already full of salami, cheese, cream, avocados, bacon etc.
I've been eyeing up the vanilla bars, do report back what they're like!![]()
@DJC3 You obviously need another fridge in the new house. I looked at Adonis bars but couldn't find any love for them. Tastes vary, I can't stand using the ipads my wife and grandson love.Will do, they had 5 star reviews so must be pretty good.

I really liked some chocolate bars from a place called Musclefood which worked perfectly for me at about 4 grms carb. Used them as lunch when travelling just in case. Scratched my head and decided to make my own. Bought some silicone trays with bar moulds so will make some (first lot were split so waiting for replacements). Hope to cover flaxseed, psyllium husk powder. caramalised inulin and maybe some raspberries with some of the 2.5 kgs 100% chocolate we have - there was a plan. Did do a prototype earlier in the year so mark 2 should be even better.
What ipmums controlPs what are lpdads?
I use a method that is based on "Better than potatoes Cheesy cauliflower mash". I just don't mash it.Funny we both missed out on our bacon!
Good luck with estate agent and viewings.
I do cauliflower cheese using @Goonergal s easy method. I briefly par boil, put in oven proof dish add a bit of cream, salt and pepper, grate cheese on the top and cook in oven till brown about 40mins at about 180 fan whilst rest of family’s roast potatoes are cooking! @maglil55 suggested a dd recipe which looks lovely too and uses broccoli for the sauce which presumably thickens it but as this easy method works for me I’ve stuck with it.
I use olive oil and butter mix to stop it burning so I agree with @Brunneria.You can try mixing 50:50 with another fat that is less likely to burn. I have seen olive oil suggested by tv chefs, but nowadays I would probably go for lard or mild coconut oil.![]()
Sainsbury's do little sealed bags of chopped fresh parsley. I always keep about half a dozen of them in the fridge. Great little things. They do coriander too.Evening all
@ianpspurs hope dogs’ tummies remain calm. Can’t believe it was the Setter who stole the cake not the Lab though! What a relief you didn’t have inulin. I agree about icing on cakes, hate it but your ganache sounds lovely.
@Goonergal have you tried ghee for frying? You can use it at a higher temperature than butter without it burning.
@shelley262 hope you get a chance to relax on your hols. Do you know definitely if your A1c needs repeating?
Nice day foodwise:
B: poached eggs, avocado and halloumi. Coffee with cream
L: Hot smoked salmon fillet with leafy salad and olive oil/ apple cider vinegar dressing. Adonis blondie bar ( my last one, do I order more? ) another coffee with cream.
D: Tried @maglil55 s chicken Cordon Bleu. It was lovely and a great hit with everyone here ( although having walked to Tesco just to get parsley for the coating, I forgot to get it, I did get a bottle of champagne though and we drank it in the garden before eating).Had it with a mixed salad and more of the same dressing. Then strawberries and cream. Lovely.
I use a method that is based on "Better than potatoes Cheesy cauliflower mash". I just don't mash it.
Basically, prep the cauliflower into florets, put in a microwave safe bowl, season add some cut up cubes of butter and some double cream. Turn the florets over to coat a little. Cover with cling film and pierce it a few times. Pop in the microwave for 6 or 7 mins.
Remove from microwave and add a good handful of grated cheese ( I've used various cheeses). Mix through again. Discard the cling film and pop back in the microwave for another 6 or 7 mins (depends how powerful your microwave is) and that's it!
The best ever mash really is best ever. There's a few versions but they are really good if you crave mash.

This one I use a German smoked cheese as I've never found smoked gouda.

The above is the original and what I use for my cauliflower cheese - just don't mash it but I do use more cream and cheese than the recipe.
I think there is a garlic version as well.
Another good one is on low carb maven. She's not wrong that the trick to really good cauli mash is keep the moisture out which is why the microwave versions are so good. Steaming still gets moisture in. Anyway, use the microwave method but the additions from the loaded recipe - it's yummy

Just had Eaton mess with LC meringues - like meeting a best friend from childhood after years apart. Can't say I don't care what the reading is after 2 hours but not too bothered.
@DJC3 Egg whites, triple zero stevia - about 1/2 as much in weight as sugar in normal recipe. Put half of that in at first as normal. The other half you make like icing sugar using herb/coffee grinder and fold it in at the end before placing in the oven. We had a trial and decided this method was best. Erythritol weights will need trial. After a 1 hr dog walk bg @ 2 hrs was 4.8 as opposed to 4.9 after lunch - just before eating EM, so Eaton mess stays!Is it just egg whites and erythitol?
