Morning all. Monday lunch at the village hall today (comes round quickly!). No idea what it will be, I'll let you know tomorrow. Yesterday I stuck with boiled eggs and a couple of tomatoes. Drank lots of water. Have a good week everyone. :)

Well, as a rule, you can't go wrong with boiled eggs @RosemaryJackson. Hope today's mystery lunch at the village hall is diabetic-friendly and settles all right.
 
Evening all

Today:

B: Two poached eggs topped with a knob of butter, avocado and three crevettes all seasoned with a good grindings of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablets.
Espresso.

L: Baked halloumi and sweet red peppers.
Hummus with Kalamata olives.
Salad using cucumber, salad burnet, rocket, salad onions, raspberries, strawberry halves and mint, dressed with olive oil, garlic, a touch of lemon juice and topped with toasted sesame seeds.
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.

D Seafood salad made with brown shrimps and mussels, lettuce, vine tomatoes, celery, salad onions and mustard cress, with a dollop of aioli for dipping, topped with flat-leaf parsley and pistachios.
Water to wash down tablets.
 
B poached egg on mashed avocado on a slice of toasted Nordic bread.
L- leftover tuna muffin and a spicy coated chicken strip from yesterday’s picnic. Sort of cheesecake to follow ( strawberries mashed with cream cheese and a bit of sour cream)
D beef curry with cauli rice cooked in coconut oil and cumin seeds. The curry sauce was made using this recipe, it’s delicious and very easy - I try to keep a batch in the freezer so I can just add cooked meat/veg/prawns etc if I need a meal in a hurry https://ketodietapp.com/Blog/search?q=Curry simmer sauceIMG_1721684979.530552.jpg
 
Yesterdays menu at lunch club. Tomato soup to start; Main course; 2 scoops of mashed potato, carrots, cabbage and a pork steak; I took my own sugar-free jelly for afters because they always have sponge and custard or something like that. Today I have a chicken breast which I'm going to stuff with a babybel and airfry, plus salad. Hopefully the sun will stay out so enjoy. :happy:
 
Usual visit to M&S this morning after school run, picked up a lot of yellow sticker fish today so freezer is comfortably full and todays meals sorted. I also remembered to get the grain free granola @Rachox mentioned so that was breakfast with a dollop of Greek yoghurt. The granola is excellent.
L- smoked salmon and avocado
D- poached salmon fillet with salad topped with pumpkin seeds. Finished with what the greatly missed Goonergal called Lazy Mousse ( melted 100% chocolate stirred into extra thick cream)

Unfortunately, potatoes contain too much starch for some of us @RosemaryJackson. I cannot handle spuds in any form, so take the easy route and avoid them altogether.
 
@DJC3 I’m glad the M&S granola was good. Does it have a long expiry? I might buy a box for any occasion I won’t have coconut ‘porridge’. Does such an occasion exist?! :joyful:
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: creamy garlic prawns with sliced sautéed courgette.

Finally a day of cooking again, after 5 days of eating with neighbours. The last 3 of those 5 days were low carb: two days of barbecue and salad, and only a small bite for taste of the more carby dishes like birthday cake, German kartoffelsalat made by the 80 years old mum of our host (not something to refuse), and a very small piece of bread. Last day was a Moroccan tajine dish with meat, veggies, tomatoes and potatoes, but it was very easy to avoid the potatoes and no-one minds, they know my eating habits. :joyful:
Best not to talk about the first two days in this section of the forum though.

Today was something easy and experimental: An onion, pointed cabbage, garlic, shawarma, cream cheese, and some spices and tomato paste, very tasty. :hungry:

Sounds delectable. Do you grow basil? @shelley262.
