pinkprincess - smoked sausage curry sounds interesting

I had a bad day yesterday and ate too much 70% chocolate

Today I will have

breakfast - scrambled egg
lunch - half an avocado, cheese and salad
dinner - something with leftover chicken and veg

snacks - yogurt with flax / seed mixture 1 tbsp, almond pancake with berries and cream and try to stay away from the chocolate

Have a good Sunday everyone

Sheila my OH is a choccy fan, he likes two squares of the 85% Lindt chocci melted over berries and cream and sprinkled with low carb sweetener.

Today we have had sausage and egg for breakfast.
Lunch was chicken and bacon in a lettuce leaf wrap.
Dinner was another curry as I have a cold, spicy chicken and cauli.

Snack will be celery with almond butter or a handful of brazils or pecans.

Yes, but I have to admit that I had 6 squares of 70% chocolate :eek:

I made soup for lunch instead with chicken stock, onion, garlic, celery,spinach and some cheese - not bad

Tonight I had sausages,cauliflower, broccoli with yogurt, low sugar jelly and flax/ seeds

There is so much chocolate, mince pies, biscuits etc around due to my daughter, son in law and grandchildren living here that I admit to finding it quite hard. They had steak pie with veg for dinner with pudding and I did resist but it wasn't easy.

Nite

Broccoli with yoghurt :eek: Interesting :rotfl:
Well done for staying away from the pie. :T

Breakfast is a bacon sandwich made with 1.9g carb bread.
Lunch will be salmon and coleslaw.
Dinner will be turkey breast wrapped in bacon and cheese with stir fried veg.

Sheila, thank you so much for listing your menu. It reminded me that sugar free jelly is allowed. I have been looking for something new to add to my menu as I'm getting a bit bored. I think I will make a 'milk' jelly but substitute some of the milk for lactofree cream.

Don't forget sugar-free jelly has sweetener in instead, and we all know what that stuff can do! I would advise not making it a regular feature.

Taking about desserts, did anyone try the chocolate cherry i.e. black forest gateau, cake? After I found a miniature creme de cassis in my local farm shop, I did the muffins as usual, soaked some frozen cherries in the cassis and added them into the mix. I think they are the best I've ever made, completely delicious. Just before serving, I warmed the remaining juice poured it over and added cream

Had terrible day yesterday. Ate pastries, pies, & cakes after the funeral. Then there was so much left we all brought a little home and I had the same again for tea because I was too tired to make anything else. I thought it would be a real treat but after eating one or two items off my plate I realised I wasn't enjoying it at all and much prefered my low carb food. As always when I eat things containing lactose I ended up with a sore mouth but at least I haven't had the stomach cramps too. So glad to get back to normality today.
