What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

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: mushroom and tomato pizza (using a low carb base) with a side salad and mayo.

For lunch today I had four rashers of bacon inside one (quite large) slice of sourdough. It was nice, but my blood sugar was 10.5 two hours afterwards.

For dinner I had a grass-fed sirloin steak, with mushrooms and crunchy sprouts.

I’ve come a cropper with sourdough too. I only had a small bit just to test the result, but sadly it’s a definite no no. Such a shame, but probably for the best, I know I wouldn’t have stopped at one small bit! Your bacon butty looks grand.
 
B- cheese omelette
L- large salad with ACV/evoo dressing, walnuts, seeds and feta. DGF raspberry bakewell to follow.
D- grilled pork chop with airfried veg

Your cauliflower cheese looks so good!
What's your secret recipe?

My evening meal will almost certainly be a LC pan fried toastie: two slices of bread, cheese, ham, maybe a mayo based spicy dipping sauce. I'll have a midnight snack of chicory and hummus which will have to do for veggies today.
Just cauliflower in oven proof dish, a good glug of double cream, salt and pepper, and lots of grated strong cheddar on top cooked in oven for 35 mins at 180 degrees fan oven.
 
For lunch I made a rather sad-looking low-carb pizza, with cheese, pepperoni and mushrooms. I wish it looked more like @Rachox's, but it was my last low-carb pizza base, and I won't be getting any more.
Dang, I want that pizza even though I have just eaten, doesn't look sad at all to me!

This recipe was so simple that even CopyMeThat didn't recognise it as a recipe so I had to do some copy and pasting. For unknown reasons CMT chose to add a picture of @IanBish 's bacon sandwich so now I'm forever stuck with a sandwich picture to go with a cauliflower recipe. Oh well, I'll still know how to make cauliflower cheese.

I'd much prefer an Italian, thin crust pizza. But maybe in the future...

Should I demand royalties from CMT for using my sandwich picture? ;)

Uhm, hmm, oohf, aaargh, I can't really reply, much as my fingers are itching to type. I love our mod team and I hate creating work for them going off topic on this thread.
Maybe if we promise we'll just stop it here they won't have to post a reminder to stay on topic!
