Here’s a typical breakfast I eat these days
today breakfast was brunch as had a Sunday lay in - In stark contrast a photo of the kind of breakfast I was eating 6 years ago OMG 😱 (I saw that in my Google drive recently and made me horrified)

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!!!!!!!
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.
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
B: Boiled eggs and soldiers (17.8gm carbs)
L: Grilled premium sausage, mushrooms and tomatoes (9.0gm carbs)
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.
