A Treat!

I went out for ‘coffee and desert’ last night with hubby and usually would just have a raspberry tea and let him eat the desert and it never bothers me but I just thought oh I’ll have a little bit, and I did pretty well, we had a custard square which is not like your bakery one it’s a homemade one and omg it’s good. I only ate the filling with plenty of cream so no icing and no pastry. The filling is the best part very Moorish but I only had a little bit, then a decaf flat white which I haven’t had for soo long, I’m not a big coffee drinker. It was a nice little treat but also a nice little reminder of why a don’t eat sweet food, the headache and fogginess that followed and even today I’m feeling a little off. I’m pretty sensitive to sweet stuff so I’m paying for it today in how I’m feeling.

Today my eating has been great though which it normally is, Breakfast was an omelette filled with spinach, feta and bacon om nom!! And lunch was frozen raspberries with cream and a scoop of protein powder blended up, tastes like frozen berry yoghurt, it’s soo good, I topped it with slivered almonds and grated 85% choc. I haven’t had the desire to eat anything off plan so that’s great, it obviously hasn’t triggered cravings so far which is what I was worried about so we’ll see. It’s my birthday on Tuesday so I think I will make some of my berry cheesecake for that. Weight is good, down to 82kg so wohoo, but I’m not weighing again for a week!

Berry Cheesecake

So yesterday was my wedding anniversary and instead of going out for dinner (my fav place was closed) I made a beautiful meal of eye fillet with creamy peppered balsamic sauce with zucchini, red peppers and carrots cooked with butter and smoked paprika it was soo good. Then for desert I made a Low Carb cheesecake, I was soo good even my dh loved it.

Base:
Ground up 3/4 cup Pine Nuts and Pecans
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp vanilla pod
2 tsp honey
butter
combined and pressed into little ramekins and refridgerated.

Filling:
125gms Creme Fraiche
125gms Marscarpone
1/2 cup Blueberries
1/2 cup Raspberries
1 tsp vanilla pod
3 tsps gelatin dissolved in tiny bit of hot water.

Topping:
Grated 85% chocolate

This cheesecake is not really sweet but sweet enough and fairly rich so you don't need much, it was heavenly and something I would only eat on a special occassion otherwise I would want to eat it everyday!
