As you know, I tend not to measure anything when I invent a recipe, so roughly, I grab a big handful of frozen mixed berries & add some sweetener. Blitz in the microwave for a minute at a time, take out and stir after each minute & keep going until it thickens up. It will thicken up even more once cooled.

Sorry Carol...that did make me laugh
 
Sorry, I haven’t posted in a about a week! My BS was rising, my sleep erratic due to not being able to sleep at night & now my BS is dropping! :(

Just saw my hospital dietician again this morning! The iron tablets seems to have kick started my cycle again! 🙄 So, every month I’ll have about a week of rising BS followed by about a week of dropping BS! She was still very pleased with my BS readings from the 3 weeks or so since I last saw her, dietician. She asked me if I needed grief counselling but, I don’t think I need it! Although it’s still tough to sleep at night, when grief hits hardest, I’m managing NOT to eat through the night!

I’m more or less eating the same stuff & know how it affects my BS so, I won’t be seeing the dietician anymore & continue to phone-in my readings to the DSN regularly. Also, see the doctor periodically for HbA1c tests etc. 🙂

Thanks to everybody on this thread! I learnt a LOT while I was posting & reading posts! 🙂 😎

@Ljc, been catching up & your posts really make me laugh, YOU can be naughty at times! 😛 :D Sneaking in the tiny print too! :D But, I’m onto you now! 😛
 
B - jumbo oats, almond milk, raspberries, knob of butter and a coffee
coffee
S - 2 boiled egg whites (mum was making her sandwich filling for her dinner but she only eats the yolks and I hate seeing the whites go to waste lol)
D - Wholemeal sandwich with a chicken breast and garlic and herb Philadelphia and a peanut & choc protein bar
coffee
T - chicken breast marinated in chilli oil, charlotte potatoes, large flat mushroom and sprouts roasted and a square Lindt 90%
coffee
3 pints water throughout the day x
 
Hi all. Ran out of time last night so didn't post and was out just after 6 today as Alan had a super car driving day at Brands Hatch and we had to be there before 8am. Not the best day food wise today but I'll fess all.

Tea
B: Bacon, egg & mayo butty in the car at Brands Hatch (home made, took them with us).
Tea
L: Scampi, sweet potato chips & salad with a G&T (pub lunch)
Latte & an apple & almond tart in Patisserie Valerie 🙄
Just had sardines on toast.
Lots of water during the afternoon.
 
Today:

B- 1x weetabix with semi skimmed (had run out of Greek yoghurt)
S- Cheddar cheese & pepperami with some mayo.
L- mozerella, avocado and cherry tomatoes with olive oil and a balsamic glaze
D- Chicken ceasar salad, no croutons but breaded chicken (hot).

Have just made these: https://twosleevers.com/no-bake-keto-peanut-butter-chocolate-bars-keto/ so will try them later and let you know what they are like.

Really interesting to see how I needed a snack today whereas when I have Greek yoghurt I don’t think about food again until lunchtime.
 
B. 2 slices of wholemeal bread and peanut butter no lemon curd today as I thought I’d better beh@ve myself lol and a large Nescafé.
L. Can’t remember 😱 but I did eat something and had some sparkling water.
D. 4 small new potatoes, peas , a small bit of steak pudding and a Coke Zero
S. about 1/4 pack of Macadamia nuts and another Coke Zero.
Water through the day.

Mashed avacado with plenty of lemon. Yes, it tastes mostly of lemon. Great on the side of meat, fish or cheese.
