@Billysmum We do extras that are then tub up of a night as C always makes loads and he loves trying new things
So we have stovies (I can't eat as it has potato in it)
Stew
Chicken tikka
The latter two I can eat with my veg of choice. You'll have to be quick though as son likes to come round and take them 🙂 too.
 
@Kaylz i love parsnips but sadly they spike me so I shall be only having them Christmas time roasted in goose fat.
 
I can't say I'm a fan of them to be honest, my favourite veggies are petits pois, asparagus, Brussel sprouts, broccoli or cauliflower haha 🙂 x
 
Like all above bar the asparagus blurgh lol!!!!
 
Oh no it's great 🙂 x

Yes I like all those veggies. Thought peas were a bit of a no no?
Yes Kaylz, I assumed even without being roast ready, that parsnips would be a bit extravagant.

Why do you think peas are a no no, an 80g serving of Tesco petits pois only has 4.3g carbs, mushy peas on the other hand I would avoid 🙂 x

Not sure why I thought peas not great. Heard it somewhere?
But good to know not so esp petit pois I love those.
 
Got so hungry reading this thread that I have just had wholemeal pitta, halloumi with chopped tomato, onions, cucumber, and jalapeños.
I know, pitta not great :(

Wholemeal is better for you though, I eat 2 slices 50/50 bread everyday 🙂, petits pois are lovely aren't they 🙂 x
 
Peas are high carb compared to most veg, but not alarmingly so. Certainly within my limits.
 
I mostly make from scratch too and measure as I go, and do extra then I know what is in it. I freeze the overflow and label with the carbs so have a quick dinner on hand for lazy nights. Soup is always a good standby too and freezes well and can be used as a base for one pot dishes if I don't feel like doing too much.
 
I tried Weight Watchers ready meals but they shot my BG up big time.

my thread got derailed!

:D It happens.
 
No Carb, before I was watching what I ate I really liked 'Bighams - Meatballs Al Forno'. Has lots of flavour but I would imagine it's off the scale with carbs.
 
There's more derailments on this forum then on Virgin east coast it's just bang out of order :D😛:D
 
I eat quite a few ready meals from M&S, I've learned from trial and error which I prefer. I live alone and find this is the best way to get more variety in my diet. I like the fact that they give quite a lot of nutritional info on the packs, such as fat, sugar and fibre. I always add loads of salad or veg.
 
Tesco actually do frozen curry's that come without anything so at a push you could buy those and have it with whatever you want although home made food is always going to taste better and be better for you x
