You have got to try this

Afternoon all

Well I tried the new recipe and OMG it is now my favourite lunch.  This is the original recipe http://www.lowcarbzen.com/low-carb-recipes/main-courses/spicy-low-carb-crack-slaw/

I didnt have all the ingredients so I browned some mince and onion, then added 2 tablespoons chopped toms, a squirt of tom puree. Cooked that for a bit in pan then added chilli flakes, bit of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce. Then I added the cabbage and grated carrot and cooked for a bit longer. Done! Cant wait to try it with bacon bits. As you can see I added cheese and had mayo with it. Lovely :D

Need to look up what to do with pumpkin seeds now, kids have got loads for me out of the pumpkins.

Eeeeeek a high low carb day

Evening

I am really enjoying my food at the moment so even though its quite high for a low carb diet, as I am not putting on weight I will continue to eat better carbs rather than the lowest.

B - fruit
l - chicken, sweetcorn, onion, omelette type thing.
t - low carb lasagne with peas and carrots

Look what I bought today. 49p each, I found the biggest :D

Am planning on using half for sunday (hubby will be pleased) and the rest for lunch for me this week. Got a recipe I want to try, will give details when I make it.

who'd have thought

Evening all

well, whilst perusing some low carb blogs the other day I saw mention of something made with protein powder. Now, baring in mind I have some but didnt get on with the shakes, this was quite exciting news. So after a bit of googling I found rolls. Egg and protein powder. Was a bit dry but ok.

Still can't upload photos :(

Today I have had fruit salad for breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and piri piri pulled chicken with lots of veg and a low carb bun for tea. Am totally stuffed

Walked a fair bit today. Would like to lose those pesky pounds soon lol

Have a good one
