What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

Bed 5.1 FBG 4.6. Had a visit to recycling this morning . Niece had a lot of cardboard having unpacked a lot more plus son decided he wanted shopping. Before I knew it my entire morning had disappeared.
B. Only had time for Tassimo Americano grande with a dash of cream.
L. Another pot of Morrison's goats cheese wrapped in salami. Later ate a slice of haslet.
D. Will be having a Campari and soda. Mongolian beef stir fry with cauliflower fried rice. I've added broccoli and spring onion to the stir fry.

Will also find it necessary to have another of these Keto creme brulee experiment but of to top with monk fruit or inulin?? Trouble is I have chocolate mousse made too with the leftover egg white and whipping cream. Decisions, decisions.

We have a whole week of rain forecast. Not complaining. It is badly needed
 
Look what I found - No Cook strawberry jam

Of course, the recipe states 'sugar' but it would be easy to replace that with a granulated sweetener of your choice, wouldn't it?

Evening everyone- hope all had good day. I spent this rainy day starting to move lc recipes booklet forward but it's very time consuming and will need several more days I think. Those of you who have contributed recipes I will send a word copy to you when first draft done to check that you are happy with recipe and credit. Hope by end of the week - but lots of puppy care duties this week too - will message you directly if included. Thank you all for sharing ideas to help others.
Breakfast one sausage, slice of bacon and egg
Lunch 5 lc seeded crispbreads with pate and handful of nuts
Dinner steak casserole with cauliflower mash followed by raspberry and strawberry clafoutis and cream - what a thing of wonder this is! I adapted the recipe reducing fruit by about a third to reduce carb content thinking others in family could add extra fruit when serving. I also seperated the eggs and beat egg whites - folding in the whites at the end. I made into 10 portions rather than a large one to cut into 6 by baking in small loaf cake silicone moulds which together brought portion size down to 2.5gramme of carb per individual pudding and it tastes delicious mmm def a keeper! Plenty left to warm for rest of week too.
 
Hi all

Writing from train where I’m sitting opposite someone devouring fried chicken/some kind of barbecued mess very noisily.

Today’s menu was:

Breakfast- none

Lunch - Nando’s. 3 plain wings, plain leg and half an avocado

Dinner - planned to cook when got home from footie (the less said about that the better, @ianpspurs ) but was really hungry and realised it would be late so darted into a cafe for bacon and eggs.

Planning dessert at home - long swim this morning has made me hungry.

The the verdict is - definitely inulin for the best creme brulee top. I like the monk fruit, I torched it more tonight but the inulin gives you a much firmer crack and the burnt toffee taste which I prefer.
 
Evening all from a very tired Jayne, 7 hrs standing in a field all day is not recommended :arghh:
I feel a little bit revived following a warm bubble bath
B coffee with cream and a cheese omelette
L the other half of my quiche and a clafoutis
Frothy coffee when I got home to take the damp out of my bones
D lo dough pizza
 
B: scrambled egg with mushrooms and spinach, decaff coffee.
L: decaff with cream.
D: braised lamb shank, cauliflower mash, creamed spinach, shallots, red with jus, shared the wine remaining with Mr Pipp, (a rather nice Shiraz).
Lots of glasses of water, -lost count.

Hope the rain kept away.
Can’t beat a bubble bath for washing the cares of the world away though.
 
It rained so heavily here today that the streets were flooded and our downstairs loo was a bit overwhelmed with water gurgling up. Thankfully it appeared to be clean water. I am feeling like having a soak in bath. If I do I won't be pulling the plug after.

The monk fruit makes better caramel though. Made sticky toffee pudding for Hubby (so he would leave my creme brulees alone) but I made the caramel for the pudding with monk fruit (and didn t tell him) . The inulin wins hands down though for the brulee top. Have to say that IP recipe for the brulee is really good.

Mrs P likes creme brulee but the idea has always appalled me so I will never know but glad it works for you.
 
Another very rainy day in Cornwall. Managed to go blackberrying again with the girls during a brief respite mid morning.
B: just coffee and cream.
L: cheese, olives and walnuts.
D: Roast lamb, roast celeriac, broccoli and cauli cheese, buttered garlic cabbage. Followed by blackberry clafoutis ( of course!) with cream. The girls helped me make it, but wanted crumble too and as we had picked so many blackberries we had plenty for both puds. ( not low carb crumble though, so off limits for me)
Few glasses of red wine.

The rain did stop but as we are so close to the sea we had really thick swirling sea mist to deal with, it’s like smoke billowing around, quite eerie, also drops the temperature so it felt really damp all day, that gets into your bones after a while. The lovely bubbles did the trick though, I think I will sleep really well tonight :hilarious:
 
Evening All,

A Full English (minus the carby and veg bits) out at garden centre, this morning.
A blob of Halo peanut butter icecream this afternoon. A bit disappointing, so added a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter on top. Delicious! Mustn’t get into this as a regular thing.
Then Buzzard Bites this evening.
 
Thunder storm here earlier!
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Lunch: rolled lamb breast roasted with rosemary and garlic, mixed veggies, one tiny roast potato and one small individual yorkie, followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
Dinner: cold meats, cheeses and salad followed by one Jaffa cake.

@Moggely rissoles really takes me back. My grandmother was a devotee of them and the word really reminds me of my childhood. Do you have a low carb version or just go for it as a treat?
