And tomatoes, in salads, as snacks and on granary toast. There isn’t a day goes by without tomatoes.
My favorite type of tomato is cherry tomatoes. 
I have copious amounts of cherry, mid size and large tomatoes. This year has been particularly good for tasty tomatoes. I order two boxed of each type every week. Soon I will look in the mirror and see “Tomato Girl” staring back at me, 🤣🤣
And beans, pulses, & nuts
What's your favorite type of nut? I love peanuts and cashews for my top choices.
Pecans, (live in pecan country), almonds, walnuts, Brazil, cashews
Do you get them mixed together or separately?
Brazil nut and walnuts. I eat all kinds of nuts though and I bake cakes with ground almonds in place of flour and replace sugar in cake baking with Erythritol, a natural sweetener which can be bought in a container from Amazon.
This sounds good! It helps the numbers for your blood sugar?😀👍🌈
I have never been a lover of artificial sweeteners but Eryrithitol is one of the best and one would need to use a lot to get any of the side effects. I only use it for baking because I do enjoy a piece of cake a couple of times a week. Otherwise, I satisfy my liking for sweetness with berries or eating an apple, an orange or a pear.
I eat apples a lot with some of my meals. I also sometimes add them to a fruit salad.
Cheese seeds, nuts, tomatoes
Those sound good! Do you add them to a salad?
I do
Fantastic!😀👍🌈
Sorry for the delay. Just got done with a dentist appointment this afternoon.
I also add the seeds to jelly and cream and berries and yogurt
Sounds good!😀👍🌈
I eat a variety of nuts and seeds live, Greek yoghurt, tomatoes, celery, celeriac as well as those on the list. The only bread I eat is Rankin's Irish soda bread; one slice per day.
Is the Irish bread gluten free? That sounds good. I have 2-3 Greek yogurts a day depending on what the meals are being planned for everyone. I usually have a Greek yogurt every morning with 2 hard boiled eggs for breakfast for the extra protein and low carb..
The Irish Soda Bread isn't gluten free, I am afraid but I did come across a home made version that is gluten free while browsing last week and thought I might give it a go but I haven't saved the link so will need to seek it out agin via Google.
Take your time! Can't wait to hear how it turns out when you get the chance to bake it.

Thank you! I will have a look at this very soon.
Have you ever tried eating celeriac instead of potato. It is a lovely little know veg and very filling, very low carb. I buy a big one, peel it, chop it in chunks and cook with a very small amount of water in the microwave for 20 minutes until it is soft and able to be mashed. Once cold, I make it into portions for the freezer and defrost as required. It is unpopular because people find it difficult to peel but if one uses the Zena Swiss Star Peeler or a similar type they will make very easy work of peeling anything in no time. How to cook celeriac can be found on Google and youtube.
Also nuts and tomatoes.
What's your favorite type of nut and tomato?
Brazil nuts and small vine tomatoes
Those are good! I hope to get some soon. May be able to use them for a big salad.😀👍🌈
I eat, what I consider, healthily all the time. If I want more carbs I give myself slightly more insulin. I exercise a lot and have a good weight so I think I'm doing ok.
That's good! I usually have to do slightly extra insulin when we have special occasions and celebrations since the numbers tend to go a little higher if I don't and the people we have celebrations get upset if I don't join in on the cake (they special order gluten free for me if my mom doesn't bake something for me to have for the celebration ).
love the crunchiness of white cabbage and cucumber in my salad
Sounds good to me! Never had white cabbage in a salad. Will have to try it sometime soon.
White Cabbages is also very nutritious and low carb to boot
Thank you for letting me know. Will have to see if I can find the cabbage near my house.
This all sounds good. I usually do a smoothie with Greek yogurt mixed in. Haven’t done one for a while, but I’m thinking about it for a few more weeks from now. I love nuts, cucumbers, eggs, etc..😀👍🌈
I eat these separately as snacks as well as in other dishes and collectively in salads and stir frys with a bit of olive oil and no salt seasonings
To anyone who would like this recipe to eat as a treat.

Smooth down, using a second sheet of parchment if needed. Bake 20 minutes on the centre rack, then let cool completely and they will continue to firm up. They also firm up even more if you refrigerate very loosely covered overnight. The brownies are delicious with or without frosting
Thank you for letting us know about this recipe. It sounds really good.😀👍🌈 We can add it under the Recipe Topic.😀
If all you have is ground almonds in a recipe that uses almong flour just whizz the ground almonds around in the food mixer until a they have a finer grain.
Great suggestion! Thank you!😀👍🌈
