What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[IanBish]

Dinner tonight was a lovely, tender sirloin steak, with peas, carrots and half a tomato. Basic, but lovely.

I used to cook it on a high heat in a steel pan, but despite opening the windows, the smoke used to get a bit overpowering. I now use an air fryer: 230‭⁰C for 6 minutes and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Very well done to you. I would be starving on what you eat but it clearly works for you. X

Great news on your HbA1c @Rachox well done!
Today I had Greek yoghurt with walnuts and pumpkin seeds for breakfast.
Lunch was 2 h/m scotch eggs and 2 cornichons.
Dinner: chilli using Edemame beans instead of kidney beans. Holland &Barrett zero carb rice ( made of organic konjac flour and organic oat fibre). 1 DGF peanut butter mini egg to follow.

Forgot to mention the avocado too.

@DJC3 I'm curious what does the H and B konjac rice taste like?
@Rachox congratulations on your HbA1c very impressive - well done
Breakfast kefir then two poached eggs on low carb toast
Lunch left over frittata
Dinner left over roast chicken with a large salad. Then had a low carb home made chocolate brownie.
My rhubarb crop is good this year so I have plans to make the upside down rhubarb and ginger cake using Panda flour. All my low carb baking to date using Panda flour and their recipes have worked well for me so I'm crossing fingers - if it works will post photo.

We had a meeting in the office today, and they passed around some small millionaire shortbread type things. And I had one, automatically and without thinking.

Anyway, for tea tonight I defrosted a home made chicken & mushroom jalfrezi and had it with cauliflower rice with finely-chopped mushrooms and onions fried in butter. The cauliflower rice was lovely.

The H&B rice was interesting! It doesn’t really taste of anything. It had that offputting fishy smell when the packet is first opened but that is soon rinsed away. When I tried the first forkful on its own I wasn’t keen on the texture but when I ate it with the chilli it was fine and I think I’ll probably buy it again. (It was half price when I bought this which helped)

Coffee and cream
Coffee and unsweetened almond milk
Tomato and cheese omlette
Chicken mushroom and brocholi

I poached some of my rhubarb in my slow cooker yesterday evening with lemon and ginger and let it cool and infuse overnight. The low carb upside down rhubarb and ginger cake panda flour recipe cooks the rhubarb in the oven but I decided to use this softened rhubarb instead. It worked well - first photo is the cake side and second photo the upside down rhubarb side cut into portions ready for freezing - just a few pieces kept in fridge.

Breakfast kefir then mushrooms and poached eggs
Lunch last piece of left over frittata with celery and small tomato followed by a couple of strawberries with yoghurt.
Dinner
Sea bream with local asparagus - only found the standard green variety this week

Pudding was a piece of the low carb rhubarb and ginger cake with cream - it's delicious, I love rhubarb and ginger together.

The rhubarb upside down cake looks great @shelley262 I love ginger with rhubarb too. I’m hoping my neighbour will give me some of hers again this year.
No breakfast ( except kefir) as Wednesday is Aquafit morning.
Lunch of cheese omelette with turmeric and ginger sauerkraut, followed by DGF raspberry Bakewell and clotted cream.
Dinner was chicken thighs I’d marinated in yoghurt and spices, then roast with harissa coated veg and served with a DGF garlic and herb wrap.
Small glass dry white wine while sitting in the evening sun.

Dinner this evening was a couple of minted lamb burgers, with a side salad (badly) dressed with home made mint yoghurt. Not very photogenic, but I enjoyed it.
