My goodness, I hope I can get to the stage where 85% of my intake is chocolate!!

It's one of the most ugliest veggies to look at, but is surprisingly tasty.
You will have to peel it.

To me celeriac looks a bit like a bumpy turnip, and yes it needs peeling, and chopping. It needs a bit of effort as it's quite solid! I cut a slice off , peel edges, and cut into about 1.5 inch rectangles or cubes, then coat it in melted coconut oil and cook it in my Remoska. It goes slightly soft and a nice goldy brown on the outside, and tastes rather like parsnips.

Double cream

I think I am supporting an entire dairy herd.

And cream cheese.

For years I avoided dairy because it made me feel bleugh.

Turns out that's only if I eat it with carbs. So now I glut on cream, cheese and cream cheese. Astonishing, really.
 
chopped parsley, chopped mint mix together add pine nuts mix with olive oil, i put it in salad
 
I forgot to include golden flaxseed (both whole and miled), and almond and hazelnut milk in my previous post, but the milks and milled flaxseed have become such an integral part of my diet now that I never thought to mention them! I like the milled flaxseed, but the whole seeds look so much like what I feed my canary that I'm not over fond of it, and it does tend to stick in my teeth...

I've got a new type of cheese, Halloumi, to try this week, as I've seen some recipes for frying it which have made my mouth water.
