I'll be eating more than this today! Just thought I'd post a pic! In one bar ( 5 bars in the pack) a mere 4.2 carbs! Hits the spot!

News just in on lentil Dahl, reading before was 6.2( cos I couldn't resist half a packet of crisps mid morning), reading 2hours after 7, quite pleased with that will have to have another test run to convince myself though.

I have just had a fried egg sandwich in a muffin made with coconut flour and flax seed. It was so nice and the muffin only took a minute to make in the microwave:)

Being that it's my birthday today & how I'm managing an average reading of 6.5 I thought stuff it I'm gonna have a treat today & if it takes me up to 13 or so I can live with that! So off I've been for fillet steak with chips & red wine, mushroom & onion sauce! Reading after 10.8 very happy! Although I wAs lucky that I started with a nice low reading of 4.8 beforehand!

Yesterday's low carb goodies were...

Brunch: almond pancakes with blueberries and cream (even my fussy son ate one and said they tasted like "regular" pancakes. Result!)

Dinner: mushroom stroganoff with shredded lettuce (looks like cat food, but is very tasty)

Pudding: chocolate and pecan mug cake with vanilla cream and raspberry sauce (oh my!) Cake recipe from http://www.ibreatheimhungry.com/2013/05/chocolate-brownie-mug-cake-low-carb-gluten-free.html

Cheers. There is a weird malware warning on the cake site today so I have posted the recipe on the low carb recipe thread if anyone is interested.

(whenever I see aqualung I start singing that Jethro Tull song lol)

thanks for posting the recipe, I am off to have a look.

my husband is a big Jethro Tull fan and that is the username he uses, I thought it was more appropriate than my usual one (bunbun)

Boullabaise today, with mussels, king prawns and cod steaks. Low carb and lowish calories too. That should make up for the (low carb) haggis and eggs I had for breakfast!
