Yesterday for lunch (also day before that for either lunch or dinner), had coconut blinis. For these, having removed the coconut water of a coconut and cracked it open, blending up the contents along with eggs makes the batter. Thus, blinis that consist almost entirely of protein and fat, and are quite nice, too.

Interesting... I wonder if you could do the same thing with "coconut flour" and without egg, which doesn't work for me.

Pot roast with carrots and potatoes, slow cooked in the oven.

I've recently - yesterday, and lunch today, also for late dinner - made blinis and pancakes using egg instead of water or any other fluid in the batter. This means more with less flour, more protein and less carbs. Taste and texture a bit different, but good. No potato flour needed this way to use quinoa for blinis or pancakes when done instead of buckwheat.

EDIT: And I had them at lunch with bacon, at dinner with beef patty.

Once I did made blini's with egg, the outer crust became too puffy and tastes little different. probably needs some spicing up for egg. I prefered with out egg.

Basmati Rice has eeevil gluten in it.

Hubby had BLT's (He is not on the diet.) and I had bacon with coriander rice in cabbage leaf 'burritos'. The rice was leftover from home made burritos, organic rice and coriander, about two T.

Next time we do BLTs, (or BLC's for me) I'm going to make up fresh guacamole to replace the rice. I tolerate rice well, but am phasing out carbs very slowly. ;)

Coconut needs something to bind it, other options I've tried (there are no doubt more) being buckwheat flour (much more buckwheat than coconut is needed) and potato flour (wouldn't need as much, but still so much that it's no longer really a question of 'coconut blinis', I think).

(also, coconut flour, by necessity to make it a dry flout, is 'de-fatted' coconut, meaning much less great stuff in it. no experience in using it, but this might perhaps make it behave a bit differently than untreated coconut and coconut flakes do when blended, meaning different proportions of binding ingredients needed, etc.?)
