Yes but you can use bananas i was just worried they might be a bit high carb for some.
Its one of those "play about with " deserts

Lol, it sounds delicious, I was just intrigued about the surprise. Thanks for the recipe.

Hope everyone has had a good weekend,I've eaten too much chocolate today, I blame the rain!!!:rotfl:

Hiya

Back from my sisters, on Friday she made me a pizza with a low carb base using almond flour. It was nice but at £5 for enough for 2 pizzas I wont be getting any. And you couldnt eat it like pizza as it was quite crumbly. But I did enjoy it. Except for the 1 tiny peice of scotch bonnet on it :eek: Wont be having that again.

Then on Saturday we went to party in the park and took loads of cheese and meat and salad. They all had bread, cakes and crackers as well. But plenty for me to have. I did have 3 beers and wine though, hopefully it wont have set me back too much. Back to no booze now though.

Oh. Sheila! Tell me about it. I don't know what it is, but when its raining like this, I can't get enough food. I crave donuts, fish pie, you name it.

Just about to have our chicken now. The stuffing looks wonderful! xx

I've been watching x-factor and despairing at the number of singers who seem to be incapable of hitting a note correctly and, even worse, the one who uses an excess of vibrato to disguise their inability. Is this really the best they could find?!
Will you still love me tomorrow? Only if you shut up dear.
With or without you? Preferably with earplugs mate.

Well, the combination of festival yesterday, weather today and ongoing coeliac test lark is ******* with my eating. Have got a severe case of the munchies. It's easier when DS2 is at school and there's no-one else around though, so I'll try to get it under control tomorrow.

Sounds like we have a munchie attack. I have eaten too many nuts and several squares of 70% chocolate

Have a goodnight everyone

De - lurking to say, fear not - for I have just had a slice of white bread, and I am putting it down to being very tired after last night's youngest DS birthday party, 17 yay!!!.............because I had a slice of his birthday cake last night I'm sure that's what's caused me to want the bread so much, I'm now fed up with myself lol!!

Yup, you eat bread/cake...you want more bread/cake/carbs etc, that's my experience too. I used to be fine with bread/pasta/rice, but now..UGH!!!

LOL, did we all have the munchies yesterday, the weather has a lot to answer for!

just made an omellete for brunch and automatically splodged a dollop of ketchup on it. Hope I haven't ruined my day because of it. Are there any 'good' sauces to buy or make please?

Afternoon all, yes def. agree with the cold weather/eating more consensus, seem to be picking more.

If anyone else is in soup mode, a quick list of favourites (all per 100g)
Leeks 2.9g - boiled 2.6g
Carrots 7.9g - boiled 4.9g
Peas 11g - boiled 10.3g - petit pois (frozen) boiled 5.5g
Cabbage 4.1g - boiled 2.2g
Squash/Pumpkin 2.1g cooked
Broccoli 1.8g - boiled 1.1g
Swede 5g - boiled 2.3g
Onion 7.9g - fried 14.1g!
B. Sprouts 4.1g - boiled 3.5g
Asparagus 2g - boiled 1.4g
Celery 1g
Tomatoes 3g

All in their raw state and with the fibre content taken out, so net carbs.

Sheila, sorry I've just noticed you asked me about hemp seeds. They are quite nice actually, sort of nutty in taste and texture.

On the coconut milk theme again, still had a bit left after making the pancakes, so grated a small apple (between me and hubbie), added some cinnamon, greek yogurt and the c.milk, hemp seeds (opt) and mixed together. Lovely and refreshing; in the 13-16g carb bracket I would think.

Need to go shopping now and it's not very nice outside!!
