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)

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

L: linseed loaf sandwich, Greek yoghurt with blueberry
D: bangers and Swede mash with veg and gravy

Hi Sam!

Have you tried celeriac as chips if you're not keen on it mashed etc? I've been doing them in the deep fat fryer the old fashioned way(I've filled mine with olive oil) and they're quite nice and even my wife says she likes them despite not normally liking celeriac.

I'm T2, but seem to be on the way to T1.5. Main issue is overnight levels. During the day I seem to be ok. At the moment not going full blown LCHF, aiming for sub 150g and see how I go. At the moment I'm eliminating all starchy carbs from evening meal. I get much better BG levels, but still get that overnight spike. The crackers are 3g each.

Nice with some sour cream to dip them in or with some melted cheese on top for cheesy chips.

Breakfast: bacon, mushrooms fried in coconut oil plus a poached egg. Followed by half a pear, (an experiment which failed!) BG 9.6 two hours later, so no more pears
Lunch: slice of ham wrapped around some cream cheese. Decaf coffee with cream.
Dinner: roast chicken, cauliflower cheese, asparagus spears. Berry jelly and double cream.

Could you let me have your recipe for this please - I love walnut bread! (Drool drool )

Today I had Greek yoghurt with blueberries, a few walnuts, and pinch of cinnamon for breakfast, followed by a very late lunch of a slice of ham, goats cheese, 2 cherry tomatoes, and a piece of Finn Crisp rye crispbread slathered with butter. Dinner was salmon with asparagus and a side salad of (more!) tomatoes, and tiny bits of raw broccoli, celery, cucumber and avocado, with a dot of Hellmans mayonnaise; followed by two pieces of Lindt 85% dark choccie. Drinks all day were herbal tea and water.

Yesterday we had power cuts most of the day, which started on Saturday evening. Breakfast was yoghurt with a bit stewed summer fruits and flax seed, lunch was smoked salmon and goats cheese, with some rather elderly raw spinach, followed by a small handful of raspberries; dinner was beefburger and broccoli sprinkled with grated parmesan. Supper was a microwave "muffin in a mug": ground almonds, flaxseed, baking powder, whisked egg and double cream, dolloped with a bit of almond butter, and a few more raspberries. Snacks were a few too many pieces of my Lindt chocolate, mainly because I was really cold and ****** off! Drinks herbal tea, 1 decaf coffee with almond milk, and water.

Robbity.
