Default Sunday lunch!

Hi all!
Hope ur having a lovely weekend!
Just curious to know....what are people having for their sunday lunch? - Does anyone still do the traditional meat and two veg thing? - if so how do you work around the gravy, spud, yorkie and stuffing etc thing? - what about dessert?

Take care!

Ax

We are having slow-roasted lamb, some mixed veggies (celery, carrot, courgette, onion, fennel) roasted in olive oil, and some cauliflower mash. I'm cooking the lamb with fresh oregano, preserved lemon, a little garlic, and some black olives. Gravy is the juices that oozes from the meat and veggies, thickened with a little xanthan gum if necessary. We don't eat dessert - too stuffed after the meat and veg!
If there are guests coming I'd do something similar, but roast some spud and parsnips too. I'd probably also make a dessert, but not have any myself.

Sunday lunch:
freshly made beef burgers with lots of garlic, parsley and cayenne pepper, served with Dijon mustard and cucumber slices on the side.

No dessert for us, we are not a very "dessert"-type of family - not that we don't like them, but we usually save them for special occasions.

Roast lamb, swede mashed with butter, broccoli and potatoes for those not on Atkins, with butter on the veg I don't miss gravy. The usual sugar free jelly and cream for dessert.

We had pork, roasted buternut squash, cauliflower (blended in processor with phi cheese and a little cream), peas and cabbage. Yeast free stock cube for gravy. I'm not a strict low carb Atkins style though!

I like my sunday roast!

look in the Sweets forum for some lovely desserts to end the meal

maybe a low carb bake mix would make an acceptable yorkie?

I make ice cream with a large carton of natural yogurt (M&S is my favourite), a small carton double cream and a punnet of strawberries (blitzed to a choppy puree in my blender) Mix all together and put into ice cream maker. Delicious just chilled too.
