    Some great stuff here!

    My Christmas dinner - I'm practising already - a pheasant roasted wrapped in bacon, half an armful of sprouts and a handful of chestnuts and a giant mushroom lightly fried in EVOO. Plus a couple of glasses of Chilean Carmenere or similar inexpensive but good red wine.

    Not many carbs in that so later I shall have some Christmas pud covered in clotted cream, ground flaxseed and brandy. And a square or two of 85% chocolate.

    Absolutely no humbugs though.

    A Colourful Christmas Salad

    Low carb Christmas food ideas - Page 3 Compressed_Colourful-Christmas-salad-

    Ingredients:
    Serves 10
    6 clementines, peeled
    3 avocados, halved and de-stoned
    112.5g watercress, washed
    120g smoked salmon, torn into pieces
    juice of 1 lemon
    1 tbsp olive oil, for drizzling

    Method:
    1. Slice each clementine horizontally into thirds. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh from each avocado half and slice evenly.
    2. Toss the clementines and avocado with the watercress and scatter on a plate.
    3. Top with the salmon.
    4. Drizzle with freshly squeezed lemon juice and olive oil, and sprinkle on freshly ground black pepper.

    Low carb Christmas food ideas - Page 3 Choc-log

    This is a very nice low carb chocolate log, with added blueberries. Could be perfect for Christmas / New Year dessert.

    Ingredients:
    1 cup Almond flour
    3 Eggs
    50g Butter
    ¼ cup Psyllium husk
    ½ cup Coconut cream
    ¼ cup Cocoa
    1 tbsp Natvia (or sweetener of your choice)
    1 tbsp Vanilla essence

    Filling:
    250g cream cheese
    50g Butter - melted
    1 tbsp Natvia
    1 tbsp Vanilla essence
    ½ cup blueberries or sliced strawberries

    Instructions:
    Combine almond flour, psyllium husks, cocoa, and natvia. Add melted butter, beaten eggs and coconut cream. Mix well. Lay a lamington (baking) tray (30x20cm) with oiled/ greased greaseproof paper. Press mixture onto paper and bake at 180 c for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool slightly. While still warm lift paper/cake out of tray and lay on a clean tea towel, paper side on the tea towel.

    Roll gently and leave to cool completely. Mix filling ingredients. When the roll is cool, very gently unroll. Spread filling on cake and spread with blueberries/strawberries. Gently roll again pressing the paper as you do.

    Serves 10.
    Carbs per serving 2.9

    No I don’t drink 'Carlsberg' but I guess the play on words is quite similar ? However, I do think that for YOU out there who are following a low carb high fat lifestyle this Christmas Pudding recipe is one to be recommended. Of course each to our own, but isn’t choice an amazing thing !

    The slightly worrying aspect of posting this is -  I’ve just realised that Christmas Day is just under six weeks away - I don’t know where the year has gone, but it‘s certainly flown by.

    I pity Father Christmas and his Elves who are so busy getting everything ready …….. well so my grandchildren tell me.

    Hope you all enjoy the Christmas Pudding.

    Low carb Christmas food ideas - Page 3 Xmas+pud

    100 grams ground almond flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    2 large eggs
    1 tablespoon of melted butter
    2 tablespoons of double cream
    100 grams of lowcarb thawed frozen fruits. Blueberries, blackcurrants and strawberries.
    60 grams of 90-95% cocoa dark chocolate
    Two tea spoons of cocoa powder
    One large shot of brandy
    A handful of almond flakes and broken walnuts Extra thick cream

    Method:

    Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
    Melt the butter, use a Pyrex jug, add the eggs, cream, and fruit. Add the dry ingredients and mix. Pour into a medium size Pyrex mixing bowl. Microwave in a 700watt for 5 minutes. Turn out upside-down onto five layers of kitchen paper on a flat plate. Zap in micro-wave for a further two minutes. Melt the chocolate in a heat proof bowl standing in a saucepan of boiling water. Pour over pudding and serve with a scoop of extra thick cream. Serves four

    Hope you all enjoy the Christmas Pudding more ideas coming soon.

    Christmas comes but once a year

    and so do I

    (old person lament)

    I don't worry too much about blowing my BG with a bought Christmas pud, preferably diluted with some blueberries, ground flaxseed, clotted cream and brandy, and a walk afterwards. The alternative involves buying a load of stuff I will then have to find ways of using up. Likewise I often drop into friend's shop for a mince pie, it's the only one I will eat all year. I do notice though how cloyingly sweet such indulgencies are compared to when I used to eat them regularly.
