2 boiled eggs for breakfast then off in a foraging course which was brilliant. She’d made us a picnic lunch, the wild garlic whipped feta was heavenly, and the frittata made with herbs and oxeye daisies looked wonderful - I had a tiny slice and discretely left potatoes.
Dinner was steak and salad.

Breakfast 2 boiled eggs then off to work.
Took a packed lunch of low carb roll filled with a slice of beef and cheddar. A Lille bit of Montezuma’s AB and 4 walnuts.
Forgot to get anything out of the freezer for dinner so popped into the Coop on my way home and made a meal from some yellow sticker bargains: chicken thighs ( airfried, rubbed with olive oil and spices) aubergine and courgettes, also airfried, and a salad of avocado and cherry toms drizzled with posh olive oil. H/m mayo. 2 glasses Malbec as it’s Friday.

Hypocrisy, mornings
Nothing yet

Going to see if extending my overnight fast produces lower BG readings as it unexpectedly did yesterday when I didn't eat due to stress and a kitchen in chaos!

Eventually planning to have

A scotch egg

Greek salad

Gammon shank with mushrooms and savoy cabbage (currently in slow cooker)

Lunch my new LC rolls arrived so had one filled with a tin of mackerel fillets in olive oil, some horseradish and kimchi followed by a couple of strawberries with yoghurt
Had fun this afternoon using low carb panda flour to make some LC mini naans - used my new cast iron tortilla press and made 10 so extras for freezer as well as for tonight's curry

Breakfast kefir then scrambled eggs on LC toast

Dinner don't have steak as often these days because of cost of the good quality grass fed stuff and especially fillet steak, our favourite, so this was a special treat.

Served with mushrooms, onion and a few small tomatoes and a glass of red wine. Followed by hm LC chocolate brownie.

Had an experiment making LC pitta breads using Panda flour

Worked well but unfortunately I had to deal with something else just as timer went off and although they came out of oven all puffy by time I could snap them they had flattened and also hard to split to make a pocket in the pitta. So ended up serving the tandoori chicken on top of the pitta. I'd marinated the chicken breast chunks in yoghurt and spices and cooked with some onion.

Dinner had one LC pitta halved with some tandoori chicken served with raita, salads and hummus

Also had glass of white wine - as it's a bank holiday - followed by hm LC ginger and rhubarb cake.
Remaining pittas have been frozen to reheat at a later date.

I'm trying to add more fiber to my diet. I fried Brussels sprouts today and they taste disgusting! How do you cook it? frying with spices is clearly not an option. I like the fried green peas and green beans, but the Brussels sprouts are disgusting. How else can I increase the amount of fiber?

I like them shaved very thinly and tossed with a Caesar dressing

Shred and fry with a bit of diced onion & diced bacon - I love Brussels - especially cold with a mayo dip
