What did you eat yesterday?

[Toucan]

Hello @Ditto - not surprised that you felt miserable with all that going on.
Diabetes doesn't need to stop you taking paracetamol - I've been told to take them by both GP and dentist previously, and you will certainly need it if you have tooth ache.
Can you put helping yourself to the top of the list and try to get to a dentist, and maybe some GP help as well to sort out that hand.
Very difficult to stick to routine with all this going on, but if you can it will be a big help in making you feel a bit better, and you know that you can do it - you already have!

So - here's what I ate yesterday.
Breakfast: Egg on Livilife toast
Lunch: Large salad with mayo and slice of corned beef, strawberries and yoghurt
Supper: Turkey escallops with vegetable stir fry and cauli-rice.

@Ditto I'd suggest you at least call your pharmacist to enquire about the use of paracetamol in your case with your fatty liver as paracetamol too can cause liver issues xx

@Ditto why don't you try making it with unsweetened almond milk to eliminate the extra carbs from the whole milk? xx

@freesia I've never tried celeriac chips but would be willing to give them a go, everything else on the menu apart from the olives I'd munch fine 🙂 xx

@Kaylz, celeriac is really low carb, only 2g per 100. I use it loads, for topping on cottage pie (mixed with cheese, butter and pepper) and instead of chips (i cut them into chip shapes and put them in the oven. The only thing i find is that you need to add flavour to it so i use some spray oil and sprinkle on herbs or spices. I only have takeaway chips now as a big treat.
Tonight i'm attempting to cook my first fresh tuna steak!

I'll have to see if I can get hold of one and give it a try, good luck! I've never had fresh tuna myself xx

No I haven't, I have 3 jars of Lidl smooth stuff to use first as they were bought first, the amount I'm getting through it won't be long before I get to the crunchy stuff though! xx

Mines is made at like 8:30am the previous morning and kept in the fridge but being up at 5:45am its a tad chilly so I throw it in the microwave and add the peanut butter when its hot so it goes gooey lol xx

 

[NotWorriedAtAll]

@NotWorriedAtAll I was a bit sneaky lol after seeing your recipe for Keto Bread. Made some on Saturday and came out fantastic and very tasty, so tasty in fact that having to make some more today (Not me being greedy , OH just been diagnosed and non diabetic household member enjoyed it too). So thanks very much.
Couple of questions: Which do you think is the best artificial sweetener to use in baking?
I really miss afternoon teas with the family, so you have given me hope that this can again be an occasional treat. Have you got a recipe for scones?
Thank you again for the inspiration and hope

That makes me so happy
I made a loaf using a different recipe yesterday which isn't so great and it came out looking like a certain US president!!! Which was startling to say the least!


I have made scones. I will have to look for my recipe. They were using the cheese and almond flour and psyllium husk type recipe but I will have to see if I can do a better version using vital wheat gluten as baking seems to be so much better using that ingredient.

I prefer erythritol as a sweetener for everything but it usually comes quite granular so for some recipes I use a pestle and mortar to grind it into powder - I think you could use a blender to get the same result the same way as you'd turn granulated sugar into caster and then icing sugar. Sometimes I use xylitol but it has an effect on my blood sugars when erythritol doesn't and xylitol is poisonous to dogs (not that I have a dog) so dog owners need to be careful if it is in the house or if their dogs sneak food.

@Kaylz, the tuna was lovely. Firm texture, fishy taste. Very nice. Had it with hasselback potatoes and veg. X

 

[Kaylz]

@freesia thats good, glad you enjoyed it! Sounds lovely, don't forget to send my invite next time! 😉

Feel sorry for poor Bruce, he didn't want to risk anything this morning so didn't eat until 12:30 and had forgotten his surroundings etc 3 times before then cause he couldn't take his epilepsy meds!
