It's Friday so takeaway night. I'll be having tarka dhal and vegetable bhaji with poppadums. I shall freeze half and have the rest in the week. This will be washed down with a nice dry rose and followed by a slice of my chocolate and courgette/summer fruit flan and cream. Yum.
 
Tonight's dinner was decided whilst in Tesco, made up of all reduced to clear items. It will be pork stir fry with tomato infused cous cous, followed by a very naughty raspberry eclair (30g carb!😱). I really need to start behaving myself.:confused:
 
Change of plan tonight. Haven't eaten yet & had too much Pimms. Bacon sarnie it is.:D

The chicken, mushroom & barley risotto. It was delicious.[/QUOTE

Feel inspired by this image, so might try that recipe tonight. Just wondering if a small chunk of dark chocolate every day is acceptable, in addition? Can anyone advise me on this? Supposed to be very nutritious and good for the brain..

I eat such basic foods; I must start trying recipes. I thought risotto was rice? Is this allowed? :D

If your levels can handle it then anything is allowed x
 
I find with rice I can handle small portions ok, but an extra spoonful & my BG goes haywire. I find i'm ok with Bulgar Wheat, Quinoa can be ok, but have to watch portions. I have recently been mixing cauli rice & Bulgar Wheat which works really well. Will have to try making a risotto with it.
 
Just checked out bulgar wheat and cauli rice online and, surprisingly, they have very little carbs to them, especially the cauli rice. So have ordered some and will try out some recipes including this ingredient to see just how tasty they are. Could really make a difference to my daily carb take. Shall be checking on here for other food suggestions etc..
 
Well tonight was supposed to be lovely ovencooked hake but Tesco fish counter didn't have any 😱 so instead its smoked basa 🙂 x

Cauli rice is just cauliflower so it isn't carby at all, but Bulgur is wheat so is quite a bit more carby. Personally I find it stodgy and no better than rice but we are all different so good luck with it!
 
Tonight we've got friends coming for dinner so ...
Starter: Charcuterie, olives & chorizo
Main: Maple & mustard pulled pork, various wraps, flat bread & pitta & salad.
Dessert: Cheese board
There will be kir royale & gin involved too :D
 
I will be having what I was suppose to be having last night.🙂
 
Lentil soup
