    What's wrong with plain St Agur? My favourite cheese. Used to love it on French stick with a glass or two of red. Now have it on cucumber with a glass or two of red. :beer: Why isn't there a smiley for clinking wine glasses?

    If you have time/energy/fork/foodprocessor you can blend the blue cheese with philly and/or soft butter. Costs considerably less :D

    Just tried a top I bought a few years ago but was too tight across the shoulders and arms - It now FITS! This is all thanks to Callanetics and wall press ups. I will have to tone up a little bit more if I want to wear a jumper underneath but I am thrilled at the progress made, just the encouragement I need to keep going. I've got another summer top was too tight when I bought it, so my next goal is to get comfortably into that.


    The other day I accidentally cut some of my celeriac chips too thin. They came out like crisps and were delicious. If anyone is hankering after crisps this might be an alternative. I expect it will be much easier with a mandolin slicer. Just slice the celeriac extremely thinly, place on a baking tray, cover in oil (or dot with lard/coconut oil) and bake in a moderate oven for about 10 mins.

    Mercy that hash sounds lovely, I,ll try that.


    Had a busy day today so meals were quick and easy, brekkie was cold bacon and boiled egg.
    Lunch was gg crackers with cream cheese and smoked salmon, dinner is meatballs in spicy tomato sauce with zero noodles.

    I'm also going to make some flax seed and raspberry cookies :j

    Does anybody have any low carb cheesecake recipes? OH loves it but I haven't worked out how to make the base :o

    Try Dan's Awesome Pie Crust :)

    Hey all, long time no see, hope your good, as usual loads of questions but will ask one at a time ( so I don't get confused with the answers) does anyone have a health low carb flapjack type recipe?

    Thanks daska, I'll try that next week.

    The coconut bombs are moreish, two table spoons of coconut oil, one tablespooon of ground almonds, one teaspoon of stevia or sweetner of choice, one teaspoon of coco powder, a few drops of peppermint essence. Mix to a paste then set in small balls, like aniseed ball size.
    Very nice.

    Today I had egg mayo for breakfast on a gg cracker, lunch was a mcdonalds double cheese burger without the bun, dinner is meats with coleslaw.

    I've got a LC bakewell tart recipe - thinking of trying it this weekend - which uses this as the base for an 8" tin.
    150g ground almonds
    35g butter
    1 egg white

    It needs to be prebaked for 10 minutes @ 175 deg c. It can be quite sticky so needs to be pressed into the tin rather than rolled. I spose you could add some sweetener if you're that way inclined.
