Well I ended up having a pizza express nicoise salad, left the dough sticks but succumbed to the salad dressing, not sure how many carbs but it was delicious! Lots of money spent but had a lovely day shopping , at home again today so thinking what can I cook later?
B mushroom, spinach and cheese omelette with mayo

Sun shining here, chilly but lovely, sort off day to go walking and kick up golden leaves and conkers, sadly I'm stuck on laptop doing a report for Monday

Hi Slaj

Hope you are well.

I am starting atkins today as planned. I know as soon as you get in to ketosis it gets easy - I remember not being hungry at all which was a strange feeling at first!!

Have a great day xx

Morning Sandra, it's sunny here today and like the idea of a walk kicking up the leaves. Salad sound like the best choice and you did well avoiding the dough sticks.

Morning Val and all
Well I was feeling very self righteous this morning, up at 6.30 decided to make batch of broccoli and Stilton soup. Made too much , tried to pour it all into blender, lid wasn't on properly and you've guessed it, green soup all over the kitchen including my dress for work!
Now sitting here eating bowl of soup for breakfast as I can't fit it all in the container that I use! Happy Monday everyone

 

[Supersmileyme]

Oh no! At least it's tasty and you can lick it off the walls!!

 

[slaj]

Quite nice for breakfast actually! Isn't it funny how your taste buds change!

 

[Supersmileyme]

It is, I was talking about that to someone at work the other day.

Green muck, I hope you got it cleaned up easily. Enjoy your day. I am very impressed that you were up at 6.30, great focus.

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh no, that's a classic kitchen event! But sure it was lovely to eat

 

[coffeelover]

Oh no Sandra, at least it taste yummy, I find on Atkins I can eat almost anything for breakfast

 

[shrinki]

Oh no!! Well I have bought broccoli and blue cheese and plan to make soup tomorrow for lunch (not at 6.30 though!). X

 

[slaj]

Hello all
Good day today foodwise
B quorn bacon rasher, scrambled egg and mushrooms
L broccoli and Stilton soup, mama lupa wrap with cream cheese and salad
T mushrooms with blue cheese dressing and mixed , mushrooms were from neris and indias idiot proof diet and absolutely delicious

 

[shrinki]

Wow wow wow! Those mushrooms look amazing :drool:

 

[coffeelover]

Food looks amazing Sandra, I've heard their book is good.

 

[slaj]

Book is great, very funny, with lovely ideas for food, there is an accompanying recipe book but it is out of stock on amazon currently.
Recipe is 4 large mushrooms,
100g gorgonzola or other blue cheese crumbled
4 tbsp sour cream ( I used double cream)
1 tbsp mayo
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Chopped garlic
Olive oil
Salt and pepper

Mash the cheese to paste, stir in cream, Mayo, vinegar and garlic, season to taste, put mixture inside mushrooms, grill until cheese is browned, I then put mushrooms in pan with drop of olive oil to cook bottom of mushrooms- absolutely scrumptious
