Not quite yesterday yet but today I had...

L. Out walking and unfortunately hadn't adjusted my basal this morning so rather a lot of fizzy worms to deal with hypos.
Banana when I got back to deal with continued dropping levels.... It was such a treat. Glass of water with a splash of flavoured water in it and a cup of tea with milk

D. Cooked ham with piccalilli, 3 pieces of sweet potato, broccoli, kale and leeks done in cream cheese. Approx 25g carbs

I have always liked Red Salmon and king prawns but they are quite expensive.

Today was supposed to be a prawn salad for lunch.

I discovered that my prawns had gone off. Never happened before. No salmon in the cupboard too. Sigh.

But there was a tin of Tuna steaks in water in the cupboard.

I have never liked tuna but with no other choice I decided to give it another try. I ate it with a dash of salad cream and tomato ketchup and it was really really good. Way better than the salmon. On a par with prawns. I guess I may switch over to it rather than the salmon or prawns.

And its cheaper too.

It's only taken me 68 years to discover that I can enjoy tuna. Doh!

Tonight its a home made pizza. Well, 1/8 of one.
 
Yesterday
B: Poached egg on toast
L: HM Quiche and salad
D: Pork and apple burger, cauliflower, carrot & swede puree, Peas & broad beans

20211021_172040.jpgThis Mackerel salad is one of my favourite meals at the moment. I might even keep doing it over winter. It's lovely and colourful, very filling and really tasty.

Per portion:
1/3rd bag baby leaf salad
1 tin mackerel in sunflower oil (lightly drain the majority of the oil, I like to keep a tiny bit of oil for the salad)
1 hard boiled egg, chopped
1/2 sweet pepper
30g grated cheese
1 salad tomato diced
3 silverskin pickled onions

Mix well, serve and enjoy.

If I've worked it out correctly I think it's about 444 Cal's (most of that is from the fish) and about 11g carbs.

It would have been the cucumber my ex cat would have been after, she loved melon, broccoli, mushrooms and sprouts.
A very odd cat, lived until nearly 20 years old.
 
Breakfast - almond butter and no added sugar strawberry jam on one slice nimble toast.
Lunch - poached egg on nimble toast,
Dinner - savoury minced steak stuffed marrow (3 chunks/slices) with a sprinkle of grated mature cheese on top, baked in oven, with 2 baby potatoes and 9 brussel sprouts.

2 of our cats made it to around 20 while one passed at only 4 (cancer) and the other was 16, Bubbles is scared of sprouts, should have seen the hissy fit he threw last year when one rolled across the kitchen floor towards him haha, one of our ex male cats loved sweet potato for some reason xx
