As I was lazily sitting yesterday,thinking what I could eat for supper, I came out with this "random" recipe all cooked up in my head.
2.5 cups boiled and mashed pumpkin
3 baby marrows
Parmesan cheese - grated.
Green onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste.

Chop baby marrows (about 1cm thick) place in a microwave-safe plate or baking tray, sprinkle over the onion powder, salt and pepper. Pour your pumpkin mash over and make sure it covers your baby marrows. Spread your cheese and sugar on top. Put in oven at 200°C for about 30min.
Enjoy some deliciousness! :)

Done that recently, takes a bit of getting used to ( 90\95% Cocoa ). I find if you eat it in small increments, it actually is great and the bitterness doesn't overwhelm.

Oh and been eyeing my weight diary, looks like I'm dropping about 1.5Kgs every 5 days or so. Down 4+ kgs since 21st April.

Yeah, 90% cocoa is as good to me as cake these days. I usually have one block every other day with coffee or tea. It's amazing how desensitised to sweetness your taste buds where when everything you ate had sugar in it.

The other night (while cheating) (birthday weekend) I had almost a whole slab. It just got terrible towards the end. Felt so sweet I was actually :sick:

two blocks at a time, no more.

Thanks! Definitely going to stop at my local on the way home today to stock up on 85% :)

I see they also have Frey on special - I have become fond of the Frey 78% dark as well. Difficult to find stock around here though :(

(Disclaimer: I am in LCHF maintenance so no flaming)
