What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[shelley262]

@MrsA2 winner for your home grown figs my raspberries are still doing well I love eating home grown fruit and vegetables my tomatoes and green beans are all still I think about two weeks away from harvest. Lots of tomatoes to come but need some good ripening sunshine. Out in local forest today and blackberries not ripe yet - found and picked and ate a couple- but most unripe still.
Out first thing picking up our granddog miniature poodle Cooper - see avatar. Our youngest son and wife away at a wedding with best man duties but it's a short doggie sleepover they are picking him up on way back on my birthday on Saturday.
When back about 2 ish first meal was some garden raspberries and yoghurt
then long forest walk with Cooper, forest very quiet and saw a huge buzzard perching in forest and looking for prey.
5ish slow cooked pork shoulder with salads and kimchi with LC wrap and glass of red wine followed by LC cake and decaffeinated coffee - off out for another longish list dinner doggie walk in a few mins.

Two coffee with cream mid morningish. Chicken breast stuffed with cream cheese and mushroom and kale stir fried in butter for lunch followed by Greek yogurt. This evening I had two poached eggs with smashed avocado and SLC toast. I made a low carb rhubarb cake this afternoon so had a slice of that with a dollop of clotted cream as well. It was really yummy.

Your rhubarb cake looks fantastic. Can I ask how you make it? Looks suspiciously like almond to me. If it is, could it be made with a different nut?

I’ve had my granddaughters and their ancient incontinent Great Dane staying with me this week so I’ve not had much time to post meals.
The girls have done a lot of baking and although I haven’t eaten any of the sweet stuff my BGs have been high. Maybe because of the sugar laden air or maybe because of the stress of cooking with a large incontinent dog on the premises.
Todays breakfast was eggs and cheese on a DGF roti.
L-tinned tuna salad. DGF cookie
D- Monkfish in a Thermidor style sauce with cauli rice and spinach. White wine to drink.
Starter was felafel and tzatziki that I made with the girls for their tea. Very nice, I only allowed myself one but it did cause a little spike (7,4 at 1 hr)

@Grace04 I’d love the recipe for your rhubarb cake too. It looks delicious.

Sure. I‘ve been using rhubarb from the garden. I’ve stew a fair bit for the freezer and made a couple of LC crumbles but fancied making something different so I had a look online and found this recipe. I used ground almonds as I didn’t have almond flour. I also didn’t have the amount of cream cheese it asked for but just went with what I’d got and I used soya milk rather than almond as I didn’t have that either. It turned out okay though. I also added a few flaked almonds and a little keto granola to the topping.

Thanks for that. I'll try to make it with hazelnuts - I have a problem with almonds.

Morning all. Pensioners lunch was fish, chips and mushy peas! Then trifle. Wish I could say it was too sweet and I didn't eat, it but I can't. Today I have bacon and egg with grilled tomatoes. No idea what's for tea. Have a good day folks

I can’t see your type of diabetes but that’s not a diet for low carb group! You don’t need a tea - already had plenty to eat. Unless still under 25 I suppose!

People fall by the wayside from time to time - I know I do, but the next day is a new start. Rosemary actually does amazingly well most of the time and makes her own decisions about what to do or eat. I would avoid making judgements about anyone's choices even if I knew the circumstances.

I think hazelnut would be a good flavour with rhubarb.

Just back from getting my legs rebandaged so now I can think about food. Since it's so late (12.20) I think I'll just go ahead with the main meal for today, which is more of the chicken tagine. I will add some tomato puree to it. I didn't realise when I made it that I had run out but Neil bought some for me today so it will be better with a little bit of extra tomato flavour. I have to use it up because the freezer needs to be defrosted so I can't put anything extra into it. It'll do this meal and one other. It should still be OK tomorrow.

This might just be an OMAD day.

Something went wrong with changing my livery from Mod to Retired Moderator (and oracle no less! ) and I lost access to the forum for a bit. Glad to be back but lots of catching up to do!

I forgot who shared the recipe for cauliflower with feta, olives and cherry tomatoes but I made it yesterday and can recommend, tasty and very easy to make, and I didn't need insulin for it.
I didn't follow the recipe exactly as couldn't be bothered to look up all the conversions for cups, oz, and oven temperature to units I actually understand but the result proves it worked out well.
Oh, and I also used Gouda on top instead of grated mozzarella, I have no idea how one could grate mozzarella, it's a soft wet ball. They must have a different kind of mozzarella in other parts of the world.

a tuna melt/bread thingy made by mixing a tin of tuna with 3 tablespoons ground almonds and seeds, a bit of baking powder and 2 eggs all blitzed together. Made 2 good filling slices.

That just made it to my CMT account as the most minimalistic recipe so far.
I definitely want to try this.
I'm guessing a couple of minutes in the microwave?

Looks great. Try wholemeal bread instead. Stearing away from what flour Product.

No worries, no wheat flour in her toast!
Many of us have found that wholemeal raises us just as much as white bread, although perhaps a tad slower.

Glad to see you back Antje. I wondered where you were. Thought maybe you were just taking a much deserved break away from us.

I thought the tagine earlier would be enough for one day, but I ended up with a few chunks of gouda and a RyVita. Still feeling a bit peckish so may have something a bit later.

 

[MrsA2]

Thanks for that. I'll try to make it with hazelnuts -

I think its a recipe that would halve easily, hazelnuts are sooo expensive. And an 8" tin is quite big. I'd try half in a 6" round or 7" square and cut it into squares or bar shapes

Wondered where you'd gone! Assumed it was another sailing adventure or epic party with the neighbours!

90 seconds for me, sometimes need an extra blast if still soggy in the middle. It's very adaptable, 1 egg or 2, seeds or nuts, differnt size tin tuna etc. Texture may vary but always tastes OK.

Yes, you're right - 250 grams of hazelnuts could be quite expensive but once in a while it might be worth it. My big problem just now is getting the rhubarb - mine was a total failure and it doesn't often appear in the shops here. Wondering if hazelnuts and apple could be substituted, or maybe hazelnuts and blackberries.

Coffee and cream x 2

[shelley262]

Out long forest dog walk all morning
1ish smoked trout with beetroot and ginger root kimchi and one Swedish crispbread followed by a few garden berries and yoghurt


3 ish a quarter of a LC Adonis bar OH had one and I got tempted to taste a bit. They are good as not too sweet.
5ish I had slow cooked three chicken breasts in some water earlier so that Cooper doggy had some plain chicken breast for a treat but then to make ours less bland I flash fried some bacon and then the 2 remaining two breasts in the bacon fat and then kept warm and served with cauliflower cheese and mushrooms cooked in butter and double cream with lots of pepper. Also glass of red wine. Pudding low carb cake and decaffeinated coffee
