What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

@DJC3 thank you for the crimbo crumble heads up. I've mainly converted completely to making my own low carb cakes and puds, using Panda flour, but did love those Deliciously Guilt Free ones - so must buy a pack later at restock. I've also just ordered a Panda Pantry Christmas Cake Mix - it uses cranberries that have been dehydrated, as the dried fruit, no sugars added unlike commercially dried ones. Not made a Christmas Cake for about 10 years! I know it won't be the same but looking forward to baking it.
Breakfast kefir then scrambled eggs
Lunch cheese, walnuts and LC seeded crackers followed by buttered slice of hm LC barberry tea loaf
Dinner salmon and peas followed by hm LC chocolate brownie.

I love making Christmas cake, even though I have to severely ration how much of it I get to eat. It smells so “ festive” cooking. Have always enjoyed moms tradition of monday spoon of Sherry, or brandy, for the cake, spoon for the cook.
Oops, not the parallel chat…apologies mods
 
Made a low carb loaf today - which uses lots of egg whites so decided to make some low carb egg custards to use up the egg yolks. I put a few frozen raspberries in the bottom of each individual ramekin and grated nutmeg on top before baking them. They turned out well. Popped in fridge, when cooled, for later.

Coffee and unsweetened almond milk x 3
Beef and tomato
Cheese
Smoked salmon
Milk Lolly
 
Black coffee x2
Lunch-Lactofree yoghurt ( half the carbs of other yoghurt at 1.8/100g but not as nice as Greek yoghurt) topped with M&S grain free granola. Handful of walnuts
Dinner- pheasant breast wrapped in bacon. ( our neighbour is a beater for local shoot and she often drops us off a brace at this time of year) cauli cheese and sauteed mix of onion, mushrooms and cavolo nero.
Crimbo crumble ( agree @shelley262 these are super. I’m also thinking of getting the Panda Christmas cake, the ingredients sound deliciously Christmassy)

Today's lunch was a lamb shank in red wine gravy, with Brussels sprouts, carrots and a couple of sautéed potatoes. I was quite hungry so I had it fairly early, and it was all lovely. I doubt I'll eat for the rest of the day, though.

I often need easy hacks to have a meal, like today when my meal will be a fish fillet a la bordelaise from Aldis freezer section.
So how do you make your microwaved cauliflower cheese?

Pic of yesterdays meal for tax: A perfectly cooked pepper steak (lucky me, I never cook steak), a cob of corn with butter and salt, and a side salad of lots of onion, tomato, cottage cheese, balsamic vinegar, some leftover lemon mayo found in the fridge and salt and pepper. Salad not in the picture.
