Not seen one of these on here so, just for fun What did you last make. This was tonight's, inspired by Rick stein [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/Z9G1RgW.jpeg] [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/gcthImI.jpeg]

We’re both vegan but managed to find some fantastic cook books: Griddled asparagus with garlic white bean purée on sourdough Then Roast celeriac and walnut pesto with porcini red wine lentils and spring greens. Delicious! [URL=https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SGzKx0o.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg][IMG]https://i.imgur.com/lguibe1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

We are fans of Ottolenghi. Made Noodle Salad with vegetables and Peanuts last night. https://imgur.com/a/hi5Pv81 **Organic Greek Soy Joghurt** https://i.imgur.com/O90xLoQ.jpg

Sundays offering, paella Valencian [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/kXZLLBI.jpeg]

Todays offering Catalan hooked beans with spiced cod. (substituted borlotti beans) [upl-image-preview url=https://i.imgur.com/5e2AuMI.jpeg]

Chicken satay with home-made marinade and sauce, grilled on coals. Disappeared very quickly.

Peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies…No picture as they're all gone😋 As I'm retired but my other half is not, I'm the designated head chef and bottle washer so I do virtually all the cooking. Last night was home-made steak pie, carrots, green beans and skin on buttery mash with lashings of gravy. Tonight as her in doors is having fish and even though I come from Portsmouth I hate the taste of anything that doesn't breath fresh air and lives in water except cress, I'll be tucking into my normal fall back position of beans (flavoured with a dash of chipotle paste) on toast with a sprinkle of good strong cheddar cheese on the top. Hmm… thinking about it, I just might pimp it up with a couple of strips of smoked bacon too.

Not convinced it counts as being made, but the last thing I cooked was pizza. The last thing I made was Tuesday evening when I made a "clear the odd bits" special so there was pasta and pan fried spinach gnocchi, homemade egg fried rice with spinach, peas, onion, garlic, baby corn and a few other bits along with a tomato and mozzarella sauce and then some bits of crispy bacon, chorizo and pine nuts and some mushrooms baked with a bit of red wine and soy sauce. Incredibly random but cleared bits out of the fridge and store cupboard. It all disappeared quite quickly so that's always a good sign!

What food did you last make

Meldrew

Dusk @Elcarajillo I am growing about 5 different types with some inside a small greenhouse which is very small, and some outside. I tried tomatoes last year and lost them all to blight. @JahLaza I love growing my own stuff, not for any financial reason, even though we save a fair amount on Raspberries alone. The best sweetcorn I have ever had was the first year that I ever grew anything and went mad with anything and everything that I could grow.I picked the sweetcorn and cooked it straight away the sweetest ever. Our veg is picked when we need it and it tastes much better and is always fresh.

Brazilian black beans stew (aka: Feijoada) with pork, quinoa, scrambled eggs, rice and green beans.

JahLaza

MediumRoastSteam looks delish. And a Syrah maybe?

JahLaza And a Syrah

Sadly not. Bordeaux on a deal from Tesco, £7! 🤣

JahLaza

Elcarajillo

JahLaza Needs more cheeeese👍

JahLaza

Elcarajillo it got more, lots more!! I was too hungry to wait and take a presentable plated pic but you might be able to make out the king prawns in there, it was good!!

So I had my over 40 check and my bloods came back saying type 2 diabetes
My hba1c came back at 87 and my cholesterol at 6.5, which is up from 5.3 a few yrs ago

In light of this a diet modification has been implemented and I’ve removed carbs

So here’s my new food

Jony

Cuprajake

I’m. Now on a high fat diet, no carbs, sugar or processed food, food industry is bad, drinking raw milk.

MediumRoastSteam

dfk41 Cuprajake No carbs as in dietary or health reasons? I eat a similar breakfast most days of sausage or bacon with eggs of some sort, but I also eat porridge on a sunday. If you eat a biscuit with 10 carbs in, it dumps it into your body in one go causing a spike in your bloods

Looks delicious, but careful with the salt + fat in the meats and the olives, also the fat in the cheeeese.
A friend of mine has the same problem and finds it very restricting on his diet. Good luck with with the changes🤙

Cuprajake

Yeah I’m being very careful with it.

Elcarajillo

A PS on the above note, keep up regular eye tests. These can pick up important changes at an early stage.

Cuprajake

Yeah that’s kinda what I’m doing.

Limiting carbs to 20g a day, high protein and fat.

DavecUK

Cuprajake Or less than 20 if you can

LMSC

@DavecUK @Cuprajake

Carbs : 20g or less a day. Is it even possible if some one is a vegetarian or a vegan. I would be interested, tbh. :-)

Cuprajake

It is possible, but you have to really watch what goes in, I’ve been vegan originally, then veggie with fish,

I’ve now had to add meat back in, but the carbs are everywhere,
Since Friday I’ve not had a day over 19g of carbs, but half an avacado is 6g of carbs.

LMSC

Cuprajake but half an avacado is 6g of carbs.

Exactly! This is pretty challenging on its own, but more if one will have to deal with triple enemies - carbs, sugar and bad fat. 😂

Cuprajake

still working on the fats lol
