Oh and I meant to post this grain free low carb granola I noticed in a very large M&S Food Store on my travels. Yet to check in my small M&S Simply Food to see if they stock it.

Thai looks great. I've been making my own for 6 years now but it would be great to be able to buy some occasionally. I've looked on the M and S website but it doesn't come up . I tried using the bar code as well as the name but still nothing. Where were you when you saw it please?

That trout looks gorgeous. In fact, the whole meal looks incredibly healthy and tasty!

Hi Clase, I’ve seen it in two different M&S Simply food shops.
 
Yesterday in fact. I have been strict keto for a month under 3 years. Yesterday was my birthday. Hubby had fish & chips and I had fish and 3 of his chips. I ate the batter under my fish but not the rest. Didn't test bloods as I was going to eat it anyway, and then had a glass and a half!!!! of red wine, so why ruin the evening?

Tested this morning, though. 5.9 which is more than I've been but less than would be worrying. No plans to do anything except keto for the foreseeable, but I really did enjoy that.

It was really tasty and really big, surprised myself by eating the lot! If you are near a Waitrose it’s worth going in for fish on a Friday. They’ll put it in a sealed ‘cook in’ bag with a choice of flavoured butters (I had lemon and pepper) then you just bung it in the oven. No mess no smell
 
Breakfast was H/m yoghurt with a spoonful of the M&S granola.
Lunch - handful of pork scratchings while waiting for it: 2 sausages ( high meat content) split lengthways and stuffed with cheese, then wrapped in bacon and airfried.
D- 2 lamb chops, cavolo nero cooked in garlic butter with a squeeze of lemon. Cauli coated in olive oil cumin and turmeric. IMG_1723919106.460319.jpg
 
For today's evening meal I made corned beef hash, with corned beef (obviously), red onions, cauliflower rice, black and white pepper, plus a tomato, with a few splashes of Worcestershire sauce, and served it with garden peas. It was surprisingly nice.

Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and another carb killa bar.
Dinner: egg mayo on a LC roll with coleslaw.

Good evening @Clase and welcome back to this thread for diabetic foodies.
It's good to see you here again.

We're almost always out all day on Fridays @DJC3 so not able to take advantage of Fish Friday at Waitrose but that dinner looks tantalisingly tasty.

Yes, paper bag cookery is a great way to bake fish @DJC3. Hmmm .... perhaps we could aim to get home a little earlier every now and then.
