Just woken up and thanks Vince ~ yes it was delicious ~ didn't mention I had tablespoon of white basmati rice too! Was surprised at my numbers particularly as I'm having hot honey drinks, honey not good for my bgls! One can assume that a helping of my main will be on its way to you🙄 along with the chicken casserole!!! I might even deliver them to you in person. Any room at the Inn?:D🙂:D
One portion = 1 small chicken breast: 1sausage: a few small slices each of green, red & yellow peppers: 1 slice red onion: 1 large spring onion halved: 2 whole medium mushrooms: 2 thick slices of leek + Dolmio chicken tray bake sauce and Tblspn basmati rice. It sounds a lot but on the dinner plate it looked miserly!!
Having the same tomorrow.🙂

Before diagnosis I had porridge with brown sugar, golden syrup & raisins, made with 4% milk. I now use almond milk (unsweetened) and just add fresh fruit. I'm happy to eat it without the fruit as my taste buds have changed and I really find most things sweet enough (e.g. 100% chocolate).
Also, I only have porridge when I am about to exercise, if I am too busy it is bacon & eggs for me.

Found it in Aldi. Unfortunately it was a 'special' & they haven't got anymore, but I believe other supermarkets sell it. It looks like dried noodles & are boiled in the same way as spaghetti and very low carb at around 6.7g per 50g serving which is a bigger portion than it sounds as it doesn't weigh much. Some people don't like it, but I find it really nice.
