Still only in week two of my food re-introduction phase after the initial 12 week T2D pathway to remission diet.
Trying out lots of new or altered recipes to eat, really trying to significantly reduce the amount of carbs I eat.

Tonight I cooked salmon steaks with 4 veg (savoy cabbage, carrots, peas and broccoli).
3/4 of the plate was veg with one salmon steak/fillet each.

For yesterdays main meal, we I had a vegetable kebab, char grilled skewers of mushroom, onion, red and green pepper and lots of salad on the side, no pita.

This morning I had two eggs, one slice bacon (back), mushrooms, one small slice granary toast, one slice black pudding, a small portion of baked beans (low sugar).

Yesterday for breakfast had my first overnight oats, and I have just made one up (for tomorrow), Greek yoghurt, almond milk, rolled oats, chia seeds, frozen raspberries and a dollop of peanut butter.

And I'm experimenting with egg bites/muffins, got loads of recipes to try, so lots of new combos/tastes to try out.

Quite enjoying this new phase actually, as long as I don't put weight back on!
 
That all sounds delicious and similar to my lifestyle these days - plenty of veg + fish/meat.
And eggs.
 
"What we have here, is a failure to communicate"..... Sorry, could not resist classic quote from that Great Movie (as per your picture in previous post), Cool Hand Luke. 😎 and yes, I do love eggs, lots of eggs.
 
I think "Mediterranean Cooking for Diabetics" by Robin Ellis is an excellent recipe book. If you are carb counting like me (Type I Diamond Diabetic) you have to work out the carbs as they are not included. He has done a few on that theme, including a vegetarian one, as he is Type II

Note: Older members will remember Robin was the original Ross Poldark in (1970's) Poldark. I enjoyed it much more than the recent remake maybe because I fancied Angharad Rees (Demelza) even though she was somewhat older than me. I would have had her on pillion any day bar the Triton as it had a racing seat, clip-ons and rear-sets as it was built for speed alone! 🙂

Yes, fantastic quote - and such a menacing, sarcastic delivery of the line by Strother Martin <3
