Food ideas with photos

[rebrascora]

Really sorry to hear you had a disappointing diabetic review @Felinia but good for you in using it to motivate you to do better. Those meals look tasty and filling.

a variety of recent meals, some more indulgent than others but my BG has played reasonably nicely with all (definitely helped by fat for some 😉)

Haven't got a photo but having salt and chilli pork ribs from Lidl at 5 carbs per half the pack with mixed salad with celery, carrot, cucumber, red pepper, lettuce, olives and mayo.
A welcome rest from 4 days of turkey.

Morning all. A 2 day blitz to start the New Year with a sparkling house (and get rid of all the glitter etc from the decorations!). After my Sainsbury's delivery I'll be making yellow vegetable soup, and minestrone soup both without potato or pasta.
No pictures today as it's a duplication of previous posts. I'm hoping daily posting will keep me motivated.

Looks tasty I bought 3 packs of fish from Icelands on Sunday I'm going to try and have something similar at least twice a week

Back to the pool at last! Had more substantial meals and carbs today as I had such a bad tummy upset yesterday, but not sure if it was the new medication, or reduced carbs. I'll see how I go this evening.

We are going for a Chinese tomorrow and I've been wrestling with my carbs. Settled on chicken chop suey and stir fry veggies in black bean sauce. My app indicates a half portion will be about 470 cals and 13gm carbs, so I can go out and enjoy myself!!!

Not quite the shake today.

Breakfast/lunch. 4 digestive biscuits and two coffees.

Still the 200 calories though!


Shake later!
Salad tonight.

The January edition of the free ASDA magazine has some good recipes including vegan ones. I am going to try the 'not meat' balls tonight to go with some Jackfruit concoction from Tesco. I have not had it before so thought I would try something already made before making something from scratch.

Jackfruit is very good alternative to meat.
I've used it in burgers and chillies.

I make meatless balls with aubergine and feta plus some other ingredients. My non-veggie partner really enjoys them.
I serve them with a tomato sauce and zoodles.
