Moonlights' (temporary) Maintenance

[moonlights]

Food today:

The other two OSPancakes, butter, davinci

Egg mayo with Parma ham

Sesame 5 spice chicken and asparagus





P.s. French vanilla davinci in a cup of tea - YUM

 

[Scrumbles]

Okay, looks like we can't share tips on the syrups - I hate the caramel and like the praline (perhaps I'd better order some English toffee, lol!)

I'm totally with you on the Walden Farms stuff, though - I had the caramel and that was foul. I think I only used it once and threw the rest down the sink. Put me right off trying any more of their products, I have to say!

Looks like you had another belter of a day foodwise yesterday - hope today is just as good!

the blueberry is vile too, i have a huge bottle and i cant imagine it tasting anything other than chemical in anything i cook. wish i had not wasted my money none of the nice flavours were available when i put in my order. the pancakes look so good, will love to try them but i am struggling with things that make me crave carbs at the mo, like the low carb ketchup seems to be making me spike

Hello!

The courgetti is going to be a new favourite for me :-D. Today I had it with fresh chilli, a slice of chopped onion and half a tomato - yum yum!

Thanks for sharing all your lovely recipes.

Bleh walden farms bleh

Try the french vanilla davinci if you like a more sort of... idk custardy taste? Tastes like expensive vanilla rather than synthetic. I haven't tried their plain vanilla though so wouldn't know to compare.

Tbh most of the flavours they have can be done at home using flavouring essence and a dash of sweetener, though.

Yes I'd stay away from using syrups etc and sweet things if you're craving carbs - it's unlikely to be the actual contents that are a problem in Splenda sweetened stuff, but a sweet taste can trigger that response. Cold turkey is the best way (says she who can't live without sweet tea).

Haha whacked on a plate actually! It's easy to make 2 ingredients look ok

It's good with pesto too and low carb tomato sauce with cheese. Would be a fab base for spag Bol I'm sure. It was one of my favorite low carb discoveries - id eat it low carb or not!

 

[ladyfelsham]

And don't forget courgette carbonara! Mmmm

 

[shrinki]

Oh yes! Can imagine it would be lovely with pesto. I must try that.

Boo to Walden Farms being crapola... I haven't even received it yet. Is the sf maple syrup also awful?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Actually I don't mind the maple syrup, although I only use it sparingly over cream cheese every now and again.

 

[moonlights]

I haven't tried walden farms maple syrup. I got a SF one a few years ago that was nice but laden with maltitol so not only did it stall me it meant I lived in the loo if I had a decent serving!

Hi ML,

It's the weather as well, makes you wanna get cosy and just eat. Menu sounds very nice as always x.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Sounds yummy to me. I am absolutely convinced I do need an airfryer for the perfect celeriac chips

 

[stubbsey]

mmm i have not had celeriac chips for ages, i love my air fryer

 

[paigesmum30]

Whats this air fryer you talk about? x

 

[ladyfelsham]

One of these - Philips Viva Collection HD9220 AirFryer - Deep fryer - 1425 W - black / silver - with

 

[paigesmum30]

Oooh very nice but a bit our of my price range lol. Surely we could use a normal fat fryer though to keep fats up?

 

[ladyfelsham]

Of course, if you already have one

Afternoon, menu looks good, as always. The hungry hippies paid me a visit earlier in the day....but now I am not hungry and may even skip my dinner.
