I was ill and took breaks and gained back some of the weight I had lost. I’m 189lbs now, and my goal is 148lbs by July. I can do this!
I also want to start posting more photos of food on here, which I shall do.
Dinner pic - steak, fried cherry tomatoes and orange and honey parsnips. om nom nom
Made an aubergine bake the other day! It’s a recipe that’s in a diabetic cookbook I bought in 2007 but never got around to using.
Ingredients
- 3 aubergines
- 1 ball of mozzarella
- 2 tins of chopped tomatoes
- herbs (oregano, basil, etc)
- chopped garlic
- a bit of oil
Method
- Cut the aubergines into long, thick slices and arrange them on a baking tray. Cook them in an oven (200c) for ~15 mins, until they start browning.
- While they’re cooking, fry off the chopped garlic and add the tomatoes and spices. Cook and stir the mixture until the aubergines are done.
- Layer the aubergines and tomato mix in a casserole dish, ending with a tomato layer. Cut the mozzarella into slices and arrange them on top.
- Bake in the oven for 30 mins or until the cheese is all melted and bubbly.
This made 6 portions!
Tried a Quest Bar for the first time - it was weird!
It was really hard so I microwaved it, and then it looked like this. The bar was peanut butter and jelly flavoured and I felt a little sick eating it. I don’t know if that’s due to the bar itself, or just the flavouring. I’m looking forward to trying the others but I don’t think I’ll be really eager for more after this.
An awesome poster I received in a snack exchange! I shall never forget to keto again!

OMG LOW CARB FUDGE! OMG OMG OMG!
Ahem.
So I found this recipe from carbsovereasy for low carb fudge, and decided I HAD to try it. Well, it turned out kind of crazy intensely flavored. It was good, but I wanted to see if I could adjust it to be better. And I have to say, this is the best fudge ever! It’s actually more the consistency of ganache than fudge (when cold), but I still really really like it. I plan on making it again.
Ok, so here’s how I altered the recipe.
Low Carb Fudge:
1 stick (1/2 cup) softened butter
3 tbsp coconut oil
1/4 cup cream
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 packages stevia
3 tbsp xylitol
Mix the sweeteners and the cream until it’s well desolved. Beat the cream with the remaining ingredients until everything is mixed. If you want easy removal, place wax paper into the bottom of a square pan, then spread the mixture into the pan, place plastic wrap over top, and stick in the fridge. You can eat it within about ten minutes.
You can use any sweetener that you’d like, just make sure to taste it along the way to make sure it’s to your liking. Also, if you don’t like the taste of coconut, you can use refined coconut oil which has no taste. I like to use virgin coconut oil because it imparts a light coconutty flavor, and it kind of reminds me of an almond joy. other alternatives is to use more butter in place of the coconut oil, or try peanut butter!
