Low-carb diets support thread

Whoever mentioned Langley farm cottage cheese :T ooh it's nice! Just used some of it as a dip with onion, garlic, watercress, bit of milk to bring it down a bit, it's in the fridge infusing. Hoping it will be good with a wedge of belly pork later.

Thought I'd try something different last night and had a baked aubergine stuffed with the flesh, onion, garlic, ham, grated cheese, chilli, a couple of spoons of flax seed, all mixed and piled back in, then more grated cheese over the top. It was really nice, but full of fibre, and with the flax it certainly got things moving....if you know what I mean!! Didn't realise how carby they were, full of vits and mins though.

I've just had steak and chips (celeriac) with crispy fried onion rings - Large sliced onion,dipped in beaten egg and grated parmesan, shallow fried in EV olive oil. Lush. I could have eaten just a plateful of the onion rings!

Edwardia

Gray Malkin I'm gonna do those onion rings tomorrow if I still have some Parmesan mmmm

(((Mercy))) it's very nearly the weekend and you can lounge in bed in slinky pyjamas..

murphydog999 I found the cottage cheese in ASDA then andrewsmum's OH found it even cheaper in a farm shop so we both mentioned it

sistercas courgette lasagne sounds good.. OH just did me veal bolognaise with sliced runner beans instead of spaghetti

confused76 :T on weight loss

OH looked aghast at the £11 Hersheys cocoa when he came home tonight tho he'd spent £13.20 on 250ml hazelnut oil but he was surprisingly OK about the seven 500g tins of ghee arriving tomorrow. (next day delivery for 95p as over £35 order). Ghee doesn't go off so it can sit in cupboard.

thank you

got a bit of a thing for blueberries at the moment, and strawberries. Nice to sit down and have a bowl in the evening

going out for lunch tomorrow, hope i can make wise choices!! i've been 5 weeks without diet coke so i'm going to allow myself one tomorrow as a treat

Oh gosh it's been some week!

Curtains are made (but still need to be hung), fab roller blind is up (big grins from DS2), ship's wheel chandelier is hung, presents are opened, cakes are made... and I have no choice but to stop LOL

Have had fun with food this week, tried using courgette instead of pasta sheets for lasagna. I recommend not bothering to try it with coconut flour, it burnt far to easily. In the end I just coated them in egg and fried them off, really just to stop them falling apart quite so easily. It went down very well with DS1. I used to thicken the mince with oats/lentils but obviously they're a bit on the carby side so this time I used peanut butter which worked well.

Lots of veggie/cheese frittatas this week

and jelly and cake and badness...

Edwardia

daska - it sounds fab :T Jelly :eek: hope it was sugar free

B - Two free range eggs, pile of mushrooms and left over smoked salmon scrambled in lard because I broke a yolk, so not proper scrambled eggs.

This weekend the larder cupboard is getting cleared out to check dates and throw away stuff we don't use. I found a packet of Mr Porky's pork scratchings in it and ate them despite the additives I'm on the hunt for additive free pork scratchings now. If anyone knows of any that I can buy online please post xx

Apologies to William Shakepeare ..Wondering whether I am the only non-veggie on this thread to use lard ???

The first one I tried was Morrisons Savers lard which IIRC was 29p. Doesn't taste of anything really but lard adds fat to my diet so that's good.

Opened a new one today, Kerrymaid lard (50p, Iceland) and it's harder than the Morrisons Savers lard, but again no problems using it.

Low carbing does mean eradicating lots of things eg pasta, rice and bread but also gives me the chance to discover new things I hadn't ever tried before like dripping, lard and ghee. :cool:

What have you discovered ?

Unfortunately not Edwardia, very definitely the sugar laden variety, made in a mould of the Queen's Head.
