Tamzy's food diary

[coffeelover]

Hi Tamzy. It's the low carb megastore. They have the wraps, tortillas and almond flour ect and lots of legal and illegal foods. They can make you stall if you have to many, but better than full carb ones I guess. I've never seen the wraps in the stores before.

lol i'm back in bed and loving it. Ems i think i'm going to find it hard cutting out the cream and cheese but your right using strong cheese will work because we would be using less, such a clever idea. i had a baked Camembert cheese yesterday and its heaven with toasties. and thanks! brekkie was delicious

cl - thank you so much for that, its a great site, think i'm going to order a few things to try in moderation, its such idea to have a wrap for lunch. x

good good!!! make sure you keep you bottom firmly there until at least lunch time lol!!! i will find it harder though with the cream! as i make sauces from it to disquise the taste of cabbage haha!! o well im just going to make it thinner with water or maybe soya milk and cream and add a touch of butter and then let it bubble away and reduce down a bit! will try it tonight and report back xxxx

 

[Tamzy1989]

lol.... oh trust me i wont be moving till its food time lol haha. i find that butter and a bit of boiling water makes the cabbage creamy enough, ive never tried it with soya milk but then again soya milk is creamy so it should work. your so creative!!

Morning Tamzy!

You should definitely try soya beans; they're lovely! I tend to treat them in the same way as baby broad beans, so I steam them, crush them lightly on the plate with a fork and then put a pat of garlic butter on the middle. I always have a roll of herb or garlic butter in the fridge because it brightens so many things up! I tend to take a whole pat of butter, mush it in a bowl when it's soft, mix in a handful of chopped fresh herbs, then spoon it out on to a piece of clingfilm and roll it into a long sausage. Then, when I want a pat of herb butter I can just cut straight through the chilled clingfilm 'sausage'.

Sorry to hear that you didn't sleep well. It's really annoying when that happens!

Good Morning T,

uh oh, naughty body waking you up! how very rude!! hope your ok though.

Menu sounds lush! especially your brekkie!!! im defo laying off the cream and cheese from now on, had too much of it yesterday!! had an omlette this morning without cheese and without cream and it was yummy! i had a turkey breast leftover from dinner for lunch and dont really fancy a salad for some reason so might cook some cabbage and another omlette.

omlettes soundin good! well done to you for cutting out cream and cheese, ive defo been missing them but ive cut right down on them... i used less than a tbs with my brekkie where as before i would have used 3. i'm hoping my effort will show on the scales.

dizzydelly - thanks hun, it was gorgeous how are u?

jim - morning hun. i do try to get in my greens everyday but i find it hard eating them at breakfast times

Thanks for the reminder I love salmon but for some reason haven't thought to buy some. Especially like it with salad. Its going to be an interesting week as I too have cut right down on my cheese and cream. I still use a little cheese each day but not as much as I used to and this week have had no cream at all. Hopefully our efforts will be repaid at weigh in this week.

 

[emmaedes]

it's hard isn't it Linda cutting out the cream! i usually make lots of sauces to go with dinner from cream non for now though!! just need to cut right down on it we can do it!!! xxx

 

[Tamzy1989]
