Dinner tonight for my wife Sue I made her a salad finely chopped iceberg lettuce all the following were skinned cucumber , tomatoes, peppers and radishes with potato salad, beetroot and olives , boiled egg
Tuna mayonnaise croutons garlic and tomato bread IMG_2676.jpeg
 
Tonight.......a carb free or as low as I can go. First batch of Christmas cakes in the oven, two 7 x 5, one 7 x 7, two small 5" ones and 5 muffin size. Next load of fruit in soaking in brandy............I had forgotten the dangers of licking the spoon and the bowl!!!!!!!
 
2 cups of soup again.
I try to have as many different ones as I can.

Don't worry about my earlier comment about what soup you eat. I'm sure it is fine. I just had a flashback to a horrible practical joke using Big Soup that my husband did years ago when he was serving in the military.
 
Supper will be 2 cups of cottage cheese. Basically can only hold 2 cups of food before bad bloating. Not the gas kind but a painful fullness feeling.
 
It's a couple of weeks since I last posted my menu. We've booked our pre-Christmas lunch at Bickleigh Mill in Devon for December. I'll carb count before hand, so I can have a couple of roasties, but it won't bother me to miss the stuffing and bread sauce. I'm spending Christmas Day with my friend and so far I can't get it into her head that I don't want any of the nibbles she plans on getting - mince pies, cake, chocolate, pudding. First time I've had this problem with her, but I know she just wants to be a good hostess. I think, like many diabetics, I've just lost my taste for sweet things, since I cut them out of my diet, and I don't miss them.

1408 cals, 70.9gm carbs of which 35.5gm sugars

D: Chicken Kyiv, cauliflower cheese, carrots, sprouts (27.4gm carbs).

S: Peppermint tea

Plus: Semi skimmed milk, cholesterol lowering drink and Fybogel (17.0gm carbs)
 
Today a 2 cup size canned chicken rice soup with a little pureed pepperoni I found on a sale added.
 
Sometimes if something seems a bit bland I add some chorizo (fried up so crispy) and smoked paprika.
I do squash and red pepper soup which usually works our OK but needs a squirt of tomato puree.
Today I tackled flavouring up the pumpkin soup with some of the suggestions you all made. A squirt of tomato puree and ketchup, turned bland into tasty. Hint of spice, sharp and sweet - just the thing for a cold wet day.
