Two egg omlette with courgette, pepper and cheese. Two sausages and mushrooms fried in butter.
A few cheese strings and some pork cracklings.
Parmesan chicken thighs and a salad.(dressed in the butter I cooked the chicken thighs in) :-D
Never been over keen on olive oil dressings but rapidly loving using melted butter to dress salads. Not too hot mind as don't want to wilt it all!
Plenty of carb leeway today so thought I'd try some turnip and sweet potato fries, topped with cheese as a side to leftover roast pork. Can't say I was a huge fan, which in a way is a good thing I guess.0 -

Just had loaded cauliflower cheese, which is becoming one of my fave dishes.
I boil some cauliflower and halved green beans until tender.
I add these in a dish with some pan fried chopped bacon and diced chicken breast.
Cheese sauce I make using cream, mustard powder, cheddar, blue cheese and some flax to help thicken.
Pour the cheese sauce over the dish and mix to make sure everything's coated.
Top with some more grated cheddar and place under grill until cheese melts and starts to brown.
Absolutely gorgeous!!0 -

Hi, I don't eat breakfasts usually. For lunch I had Ardennes pate on 2 slices Ryvita Crackerbread. I usually have protein like smoked salmon, ham, egg mayo, chicken, beef with 1/2 cup mixed peppers and red onions, with a few baby tomatoes.
For dinner this evening I made a flax meal pizza base and as toppings had mozarella, streaky bacon chopped, mushrooms fried in garlic infused oil and butter, Gia tomato and garlic puree, Gia sundried tomato puree, Gia garlic puree, cheddar cheese, caramelised red onion and peppers. For dessert I rinsed, drained, chopped and mixed shirataki noodles with some unsweetened soya milk and 1 sweetener tablet . . mmmm!
Oh btw, lunch was 10g nett carbs and dinner, 11g. I also had 2 celery sticks with some no added sugar peanut butter as a snack and coffees with unsweetened soya milk.0 -
Welsh Rarebit topped pork chops!
If you havent heard about welsh rarebit (you guys over the pond!) it's basically grated cheddar cheese, mixed with wholegrain mustard and seasonings (worcestershire sauce, pepper) and smeared and melted on toast. YUM!!
I'm doing this for dinner tonight..... but instead of smearing it on bread it's going on pork chops!0 -

I've been recently exploring non-bacon options and was surprised to find that there are other foods out there. None of which taste as nice but the variety is welcome.
Tuna, salad (I've turned into a spinach fiend), eggs, various varieties of mince, steak, sweet potatoes, heavy cream (in coffee) ... That's pretty much my lot (when I'm not eating bacon).
And ice cream daily.
Improved finances mean that red wine is back on the menu too, woo hoo!
I'm trying to limit the cheese, I swear it doesn't help progress over and above the calories/fat/whatever content.0 -

Today I made flax crackers for the first time. OMG they smelled so yummy while they were baking. Then, I saw a link on FB to a recipe from Hellman's Mayonnaise for Jalapeno Guacamole Dip. I can't stand anything spicy, so I left out the jalapenos, and GOODNESS it was good. I'm sharing the links below to the recipes--I'll be definately be keeping these recipes.

I made a delcious shepherds pie the other day using cheesy mashed cauliflower as the topping. Comfort food to the max!
-1 pack lean lamb mince/ground lamb (Approx 450g/1 lb)
- 1 cup lamb stock (I made mine using 2 lamb stock cubes dissolved in boiling water)
- 1 small red onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tin chopped tomatoes
- Few dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
- 2 Bay leaves
- Sliced mushrooms
- S&P.
p.s a dash of red wine into the sauce would be v.nice!
Topping:
- 1 Head of cauliflower (Large one)
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 knob butter
- Pinch nutmeg
- S & P
- Grated mature cheddar to sprinkle on top.
Method:
Make the braised mince by sautéing the onion & garlic then add the mince and oxo and brown. Add a little water & tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, seasoning, bay leaves and simmer for about 30 mins until reduced.
Meanwhile chop the cauli head into florets and boil until squishy and a bit overcooked (about 25 mins) and drain well. Return to the pan and add the cream cheese, butter & seasoning and mash thoroughly.
Pour the mince into an ovenproof lasagne-type dish and carefully spoon over the cauli mix. Top with the grated cheddar and bake at 200 degrees celcius (390 F) for about 20 mins.
** If you do not like lamb, sub it for Beef (Mince/ground) and beef stock.0 -
