    I haven't tried it before though, hopefully will be on next weeks meal plan.

    lol, naughty jars! :p

    Thank you - it sounds delicious. I like the way the recipe calls for "chicken parts" rather than anything specific!

    Your plan looks lovely, as always ;) Could you post the recipe for these, please :A

    Penny. x

    Cream together 6oz butter and 6oz sugar, then gradually beat in 3 eggs and 3 tbsp orange juice.
    Fold in 6oz SR flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 2oz desiccated coconut.
    Spoon into a lined/greased square tin and bake at 180°C/gas 4 for 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
    Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then turn out to finish cooling on a wire rack.
    Once cooled, mix together 6oz icing sugar, 2oz desiccated coconut, 1 tbsp orange juice and enough water to make a thick paste. Spread over the cake and leave to set before slicing into bars.
