[QUOTE="Chook, post: 2194916, member: 24561"] So, yesterday I prepped the stir fry I'd planned for dinner and noticed I still had a raw going slightly soft beetroot in the fridge, so rather than waste it all I cut about a quarter of it in to matchstick size and added it to the stir fry. Well.... I won't be doing THAT again. 1) it turned the entire stir fry deep purple red (very off-putting) and 2) my BG went from 6.2 before dinner to 9.7 two hours later!! Ouch! Dry January and no GF has been fine for me (so far). Its more difficult giving up the nightshade vegetables - I keep forgetting what I can and can't eat (peppers are a special problem because they go in to so much of my favourite meals). I'm going to cancel them from this week's Asda order although Mr C is getting worried about how restrictive my diet is becoming but I'm managing so far. [USER=323454]@ziggy_w[/USER] - that sachertorte sounds wonderful - and this is from someone who doesn't like chocolate cake - but how do you make the chocolate mousse? Today's menu is: FBG was 9.1 (a bit of an improvement from yesterday but far from low enough) B: Mozzarella chaffle with a heaped teaspoon of almond butter spread on top. 2 hours later still 9.1 L: Will be some dolce Gorgonzola with a few baby plum tomatoes and cucumber slices - I'm still working my way through the Christmas cheese mountain. The Christmas wine lake now resides in the garage where I can't see it. D: Not sure - I'd originally planned the same stir fry as yesterday but am re-thinking it after that steep BG rise - probably will be a small amount of roasted mushrooms, garlic cloves, fennel and a few tomatoes with the last of the quorn roast diced and all stirred in to some fake noodles. Drinks: 2 x huge mugs of black decaff coffee, diet caffeine free Pepsi with tablets, then water the rest of the day with maybe a glass of carb free lime tonic (from Asda) in the evening. I seem to need that bitter evening drink. Strange. [/QUOTE]
