Monday
Brunch: Leftovers from Sun night. 1 small slice Chicken, 2 roasties and 3 spears asparagus with gravy.
Dinner: 2 x chipolatas (0.5g carb each) with more leftover chicken gravy and "squashed" new potatoes (cooked new potatoes on a baking sheet, crush them, brush them with oil and pop them in the oven for 15 mins until they have crispy edges), sprouting broccoli and peas. Plum and apple pie with creme fraiche.
Tuesday
Brunch: Corned beef hash using the other half of the tin of corned beef from the other day and a fried egg. I can tolerate potatoes at most times of the day.
Dinner: "Gnocchi bake". Lidl Gnocchi off the chilled counter filled with pesto. Chicken, onions and mushrooms fried with garlic and thyme sprigs, stir in 2 tbs plain flour and then 150ml full cream milk and 150ml double cream, stir until thickened. Add in any old diced bits of cheese that need using up. I used a heel of Stilton, a lump of Gorgonzola, over-ripe Brie and some rather stinky camembert. Boil Gnocchi in water and drain before putting into a baking dish. Add a bag of spinach that's been wilted to the creamy sauce and then tip everything into a baking dish and I topped it with more bits of cheese and some grated cheddar. Bake until golden. Very yummy, serves 4 and around 35g carb.. For a T1 you need to remember it creates the "pizza effect" i.e. all that cheese slows absorption a lot! Can't comment on how T2s would react though the "pizza effect" may help!
Wednesday:
Brunch: Tuna sandwich on 2 slices Scandalously seeded bread with chopped spring onions, mayo and cucumber.
Dinner: Remains of the Gnocchi bake. @rebrascora, I take your point as mentioned in the waking thread. I will not avoid this bake, I will experiment further with dosing!
Today: Breakfast: 1 slice SS toast.
Lunch at a friend's house: Small bowl spinach soup with large slice garlic bread, smoked trout with a lovely creme fraiche and dill dip. 2 x mini blinis. Lettuce salad. Cheese platter with various cheeses, chutneys and some sourdough bread. Lidl Tiramisu. Small glass of white wine + coffee. Forgot to take phone out with me and was totally lost without checking, but when I got home I had apparently hit 17mmol+ about 4pm!!! Eeeek.
Dinner will be sirloin steak and a jacket potato (Hubby didn't come for lunch as it was a girl's do, so he needs feeding) I probably shan't eat much and I shall have to sort out some veg to go with this.
