Its the weekend and sometimes you just have to!

Its the weekend and sometimes you just have to! .

However I only kept the bun on the burger for the purposes of this photo 
And then.... I removed it.
.
.
If I'm going to have a carb treat with yummy thrice-cooked chips
then I would never have a 2nd loading of carbs with the burger bun. .
One portion of simple carbs (not the healthier option of complex carbs) is plenty!  Simple carbs such as bread, pastries, cakes, pasta etc give a sugar spike to your blood sugar levels giving you an energy high and then a rapid low.
.
.
So here we have a yummy healthy home-made beefburger, ( minus bun) gherkin, slice of cheese, bacon, fried onions, salad, and home-cooked fries. 
Thank you @hungrybear.tk delish! .

The best puds are usually chocolate! 
This one we just had at dinner tonight 
@thecottageiow Shanklin
A chocolate cremeux with almond essence and chocolate panna cotta. Beyond yum! So naughty but sometimes you just have to. 
Life is for living. Tomorrow is another day.
And weekdays can be for the healthier low carb sugar and wheat free lifestyle. .

How to eat out healthily in restaurants

How to eat out healthily in restaurants.

My new favourite restaurant  @fancycrabuk 
Grilled Squid Steak with squid ink, roasted beetroot, salad
Grilled over charcoal and served with a yuzu lime, szechwan pepper, lemongrass & galangal dressing.
And 'Merus' from the largest part of the crab leg grilled with butter and hollandaise sauce with triple cooked fries ( I didnt eat them).
With a side of Steamed Kale Roasted anchovy & bone marrow butter
Just delcious!

Oysters
Scallops with bacon on a bed of pea puree 
Seafood curry with giant prawns, clams, mussels and mixed fish
Sides of Chips and green beans with toasted almond flakes 
No pud but coffees with home made truffles

It's possible to go out to a delicious dinner and make healthy eating choices leaving out the bread, choosing low carb options and additional small treats such as a few chips and a chocolate truffle or two!

Shellfish seafood platter treat lunch with the family A super healthy lunch with a side of nearly healthy home cooked chips

Lobster and chips?
Yes please 
Would be rude not to!

Lobster, crab, mussels, clams, prawns, king prawns, crab cakes, smoked salmon, scallops and samphire.

Did you know that clams amd mussels must be closed before you cook (boil) them and open when you eat them? Otherwise they should be thrown away.
