Breakfast- Greek yoghurt and M&S granola.
L- salad with the usual suspects and a tin of crab meat I found in the cupboard but can’t remember buying. Made a pudding with 100% chocolate buttons melted with coconut oil and then cream stirred through.
D- frying steak cooked with onions, mushrooms and peppers and the leftover Cajun marinade from yesterday.

Pensioner's Lunch. It was actually our Easter treat as we don't have lunch at Easter itself. Starter.. prawns in Marie Rose sauce with some salad. Main, 2 small roasties, pork steak, broccoli and carrot with apple sauce. My own pudding. We were all given a small Cadbury's Easter Egg which unfortunately I couldn't resist! I was given another one but I managed to give it away before I started on it! I haven't had ordinary milk chocolate for such a long time, I feel almost guilty of committing a crime!!

It’s been years since I had milk chocolate too. I fear I’d never stop if I allowed myself a little Cadburys egg now. I think you did extremely well to quickly give the second one away.

Breakfast was a cheese omelette.
Lunch was a salad with feta, egg and avocado. Topped with sunflower seeds and walnuts.
Dinner mince and cabbage curry done in my instant pot ( pressure cooks in 2 minutes!). Forgot a photo so here’s the salad before I put the seedy nutty toppings on.

Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

Greek yogurt too much
Hotel Chocolate chocolates.... too much

Yesterday: brunch of Greek yoghurt followed by a piece of Stoney Cross cheese (do try it if you come across it - it's made in the New Forest and is delicious) then pre-dinner small quantity of assorted nuts followed by fry-up of 2 eggs, 2 rashers bason, one high meat content sausage and a pile of chestnut mushrooms. Afterwards 1 oz of 100% cocoa chocolate. Not a wine week.

Greek yoghurt with M&S granola for breakfast.
Lunch was a rose veal steak with a fried egg.
Dinner out at local pub was chilli topped with cheese, with salad in place of rice, guacamole and sour cream. BG peaked at 7.4 which was better than I expected. (I didn’t eat the nachos)

Morning all. Yesterday's food.. 2 high protein sausages and 2 fried eggs (in avocado oil_). Tea was ham sandwich and a yoghurt. I know the bread has put me up but I bought it in a 'fed-up' mood and wish I hadn't. I have lamb roast today with broccoli. Have a lovely Easter Sunday. :happy:

I had an unintentional fairly high carb day yesterday, so I know what you mean. Like you I had lamb today. Well it was a lamb shank in red wine and mint gravy, with hispi cabbage, peas, carrots and a few sautéed potatoes. Blood sugar was +1.8 after two hours, so not too bad.
