What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

[Jo123]

It is this one - and yes, it IS odd, but it does work.

I used almond flour, which she tells you not to do - but it works fine.
And next time I will cook it a little longer than she suggests, but that may be my oven, rather than her recipe...

OMG that recipe sounds fab, thank you for posting.
I dislike coconut and loads of recipes include coconut in some form and this doesn't!!

Next time I am going to try it with one of either tinned pumpkin (which is often actually butternut squash) or grated aubergine, just to see what happens... I think the textures might be absolutely succulent.

 

[Jo123]

Oh yes I think aubergine would work really well, please report back

Obviously I'm going to use vegetable oil rather than coconut oil, but I'm still a little nervous of overdoing saturated fats so I might try cold passed rapeseed oil instead of the butter.

Have you tested yourself with proper batter? I find I can tolerate flour (white or wholemeal) better than a lot of other carbs.

What have I eaten today far too much and all the wrong things. Found myself in a Tesco cafe at lunch time need I say more.

Sadly the milk and the flour in proper batter are out for me.
Yet i am fine with butter and cheese. Go figure, eh?

I would LOVE to find a decent LC batter recipe for Toad in the Hole, but am obviously still searching...

When you find one can you let me know. We've had some weird and wonderful yorkshires since starting this way of eating - none of them nice at all.

How about raw beetroot? I used make a chocolate cake which had beetroot in it (from some random Aussie website) - it was absolutely gorgeous.

Today:

Brekkie: Half a red grapefruit
Lunch: 50g raspberries and one single really lush medjool date (I couldn't resist)
Dinner: DH is making a chicken and veg curry (aubergine, cauli, green bean) with a side spinach curry and jazzed up cauliflower rice

Haha! Now that would be a PROPER Red Velvet cake, wouldn't it?

Yesterday:

Breakfast - Bulletproof coffee

Lunch - Beef Jalfrezi with a mountain of green veg

Afternoon snack - 10 almonds

Evening meal - bag of M&S pork scratchings on the way to choir practice. These pork scratchings are great as they're not as overwhelmingly salty as other brands.

Bloods were still a little on the high side yesterday (another very stressful day) but my last reading before bed last night was a respectable 5.6.
