Veggie stew with gluten free dumplings.

Hi everyone,

Here’s what I had for dinner tonight, it’s a simple stew with dumplings, I used a large red onion green beans with some frozen veg and the last of a batch of some frozen dumplings.

Here’s the dumpling recipe:

All I did was make a stock with low salt bouillon with a little rice flour yeast extract and a little cold water mixed to a paste then enough water to almost cover the veg then put the dumplings on top and left to cook in my slow cooker. The potatoes are ones I’ve frozen myself as I like potatoes in their skin.

It’s definitely stew and dumpling weather. 😊 ☔️

Today here for lunch we had chicken and veg soup and sandwiches and for dinner rice with chicken in white sauce and cheese and biscuits which we enjoyed.

Tomorrow's dinner will be jacket potato and tuna

Oh it really is Kerry, cannot beat a good pot of stew. In fact I think I'll make a stew once I've been shopping this week.

Hope you've had a good day.🌈😊🥘🍲

Good morning Jerry looks very appetising even at 8 on a morning I have just had wholemeal toast with avacado I found out I don't need Marge I do eat the benacol thou to help lower cholesterol I havnt had my banana yet, sometimes have marnelede but I'm worried about my sugar intake, It was the last avacado but I'm hoping we will be able to go in Morrisons if it's quite were right next to it today as mam's having flu jab, what's a salt boulion I read 24oo milligrams in a tap salt, mam gets the sea salt in a grinder I never bothered much with salt until I moved in with mam. People with heart failure are only allowed 2ooo milligrams we don't have heart failure mam has narrow veins from smoking when younger and eating too much chicken skin and lamb I think chocolate and alcohol also contributed. I just worry about my health with my dad having stroke at 81 and mam's heart block at 74 but dad wasn't on statins and he became house bound, I have been a flexetarian most of my life as I have eat chicken whilst eating with mam and a bit of meat in pies pixie gets most of it though 😺do you get your cholesterol checked as I have a friend who is vegan and his cholestrol was high I looked it up and read that if people aren't getting enough the body goes in to overdrive and starts making it, what do you do about omega 3 do you eat avacados🥑 and cold pressed rapeseed oil has omega 3, it's my mam's 81 at birthday today, enjoy your day blue sky and cloud here I'm still optimistic we will get lots of sunny days October my favourite month 🌄

Good morning Hidden and thank you. Now low salt bouillon is an instant stock powder using dried veg and I use a little of the low salt one.

I have had my cholesterol checked twice and my Dr said he hadn't seen any one with such low levels I had it tested again and it was slightly lower. HDL is considered good cholesterol and LDL bad as thats the one that clogs our arteries and the last cholesterol test showed my HDL was 2.9 and my LDL 1.4 so my overall cholesterol was well within guidelines.

My body doesn't absorb fat well and I guess I get omega 3 from pulses mostly.

I hope that you get what you want while your mum has her flu jab.

I also love October with the changing colours of the trees so probably my favourite month, so enjoy your day now its the same here sunny with clouds. 🌤 😊

Good morning thank you, good advice I will cut back on sugar well it's the biscuits and sweets I am getting a brisk walk every day and will exercise as long as I burn the sugar off I don't have it in tea and I don't drink alcohol now except alcohol free but hardly my next alcoholic drinks will probably be Xmas I think if it wasn't for modern meds it be like the past were we died at about 4o hormones contribute and I am back on h r t which will help my chestrol and heart it was beating a bit funny sometimes but it's fine again now and I only have low caffeine tea now enjoy your day 🌄

Thank you very enlightening I will think twice about the biscuits it's just comfort eating I never used to eat many mam's said she will make some sugar free ginger biscuits I think genetics play a big part and as most my life I been a very healthy eater I'm only 8 half stone too my cholestrol has gone down to 4.3 I don't drink alcohol now so that must be helping I had about 6 fruit pastels last night I rubbed the sugar off but I had 3 liquish toffees and 4 chewy Trevor mints too much I know ☹️

The thing is I never had a sweet tooth them sweets and biscuits were never on my shopping list I'd buy biscuits and they'd go damp it's since I stopped drinking as I was drinking about 3 or 4 nights like 2 or 3 cans cider or half bottle or a full bottle wine, as sometimes I'd binge I decided to stop and that's when I started wanting the sweet stuff it has got less my mas same since she quit alcohol after her heart attack 6 years ago all the people that I know that don't or rearely drink eat lots of sweets and chocolate cakes etc I cannot bare them cup cakes all that sickly cream makes me shudder, I think I will drink more chamomile tea on a night and sleep earlier then I'm not eating ☹️🛌
