lol are you a hobbit??
 
B: Porridge (I always measure this out properly so I don't end up with more carbs than I think) - I have this with a splash of cream now and no sweetener of any kind! Can't believe I can thoroughly enjoy porridge without all the sugar or golden syrup I used to have.
L: None
D: I made a seafood pasta for the family. I sploshed a portion of the sauce over french beans and runner beans before adding the rest to their pasta. It was blummin lovely.
S: Cup of coffee with a splash of cream
 
B - greek yogurt & blueberries. Sugars a little higher than I'd like after 2 hours but I'll give it another try.
L - spicy chicken & salad
D - home made burger with a cheesy mustard sauce.

My burger is made with fresh mince, an egg, some phyllium husk & chia seeds for texture, an oxo cube and some "herbs de provence" (basically romsemary, thyme & oergano). Yum
 
B - rapberries, greek yoghurt, pecans, truvia, double cream
L - cauliflower chesse
D - chicken and bacon lardons in cream sauce over courgette pasta
 
B - 2 soft-boiled eggs
L - Ratatouille
Snack - raw carrot sticks with organic cream cheese
Snack - mug of bouillon with nutritional yeast flakes
D - was going to make myself a smoked salmon omelet with salad but the salmon hasn't defrosted yet :( My fridge must be colder than I think !

Evian 500ml x 2, Throat Coat tea x 1, Earl Grey w/soya x 2
 
B: coffeencream
L: eggnbacon
S: half a toasted lidl roll with butter and marmite followed by 2 squares good choc

L: hard boiled egg, Laughing Cow cheese, salad, tomato, celery, chick peas
D: cold roast pork, salad with a little Mayo, pickle, yoghurt
 
B: Both my mum and I had appts at a local hospital today (my first retinopathy scan) and I didn't get time for brekky. At hospital was really hungry so bought a flapjack - ate a quarter of it and gave the rest to my brother (designated driver as no driving allowed after scan!) and must have been my worst possible choice. BG was ok at first but went up to 9 this evening. Strange that it spiked after such a long time though - anyone else had this effect? It can only really be that - I know I had porridge at lunch but that's something I have regularly with no problem.
L: porridge with cream
D: stir fried veg and prawns, sugar free jelly and cream
 
Sunday:
Breakfast: Chia seeds in unsweetened coconut milk with almond essence/extract and a little splenda
Lunch (work): Lidl HP roll with cream cheese
Dinner (home): Lamb chops, roasted cauliflower, broccoli and fennel and spinach with a little gravy
Supper: Some brie and a few brazil nuts

Monday (First day off)
Breakfast: Coffee with double cream, One and a half stuffed mushrooms with cheddar and bacon. Not nice - which is why I only ate one and a half. They had breadcrumbs as part of the stuffing (not many but for what I ate the carbs were 9.6g which is high for me) so I was really pleased that after 2 hours my bg was only 6.1.
Lunch (while out shopping): Small bag of pork scratchings.
Dnner: Large skinless chicken breast pounded flat(ish) then coated with a mix of mustard, beaten egg and cinnamon, then rolled in ground almonds mixed with smoked paprika. This was adapted from a Nigella recipe but I subbed the ground almonds for the cornflakes that she used. I also baked it in the oven whereas she fried hers. It was lovely. We had it with a salad that Nigella recommended go with it: baby spinach, watercress, finely sliced fennel and finely sliced radish salad dressed with fresh lemon juice and evoo. Salad was a bit weird but quite nice really. Never had raw fennel before even though I grow loads of it.

Today: (Second day off) I've planned for:
Breakfast: Coffee with double cream, 2 rashers bacon and 1 fried egg
Lunch: If I feel hungry it will be just a bit of leftover salad from last night with some cheese or ham (or both)
Dinner: Ribeye steak with stilton crumbled on top, steamed baby pak choi, roasted mixture of cauli, broccoli, baby fennel and baby courgettes and - probaby - some steamed chard if there is still some young enough leaves of it growing in the garden.

Awesome menus!
(I use parmesan as a breadcrumb replacement, on chicken. Lovely with garlic and herbs mixed in...)

I never thought about using parmesan - excellent idea! I'll try that next time. The strange thing about using the ground almonds is that it didn't taste at all almondy or nutty.
 
B - 2 soft-boiled eggs - reached for salt mill blearily-eyed as didn't sleep well and yep, black pepper. Actually it wasn't bad, I quite liked it.
L - Something involving smoked salmon, as yet undecided.
D- MrCeleriac will be on kitchen duty, phew.

B: Yoghurt with blueberries, raisins and peanuts
L: Philly whipped cheese pot with cucumber and celery
S: half a pack smoked almonds (I nibble them at work - helps me steer clear of the chocolate, biscuits and cake - its hard being a nurse sometimes with such generous patients lol)
D: will be bolognaise sauce with pasta for kids and for me a weird cauliflower I bought on Sunday - its green and pointy with lots of pretty swirls on it.
Forgot to take my Metformin this morning - BG when I got home was 5.7 - so not entirely sure they're doing much for my levels.

That weird cauliflower is called romanesco and is my most favourite veg. Sort of cross between cauliflower, broccoli with a hint of turnip. Sadly it's one veg I can't grow. :(
