Do rice crispie cakes and chocolate coated nuts count?
Shop chocolate coated nuts/fruit have way too much chocolate for me to consider theme remotely healthy treat! I only used 40g of chocolate to partially coat a pint of nuts, dates and banana chips

Yesterday I mad a lovely lemon drizzle cake with two left over lemons from the fridge thats been in there for about a month plus two dozen chocolate chip cookies for the DGC.I took the lemon cake to sis-in-laws along with a bottle of vino yesterday and it was delicious

I've made some lemon and almond (with added pumpkin seeds) breakfast biscotti. I call it breakfast biscotti because the fat content is quite low, it uses more eggs to compensate, and I use oatbran to make the flour healthier. I am having it for breakfast because for some bizarre reason I can't face cereals in the morning at the moment, and if I make toast I go too mad with the butter.

They are really nice, just had one with some coffee - for someone who hasn't baked in donkeys years, this is not a bad effort :cool:

Hi all,

Been making flapjack, cornish pasties, chicken, ham and leek pie.

Yesterday I made two mincemeat tarts using the jars of Sainsbury's Taste the Difference mincemeat I bought just after last Xmas, reduced to the princely sum of 12p each! Sell by date is next month so I thought I had better start using them up! It really is delicious mincemeat and the tarts were yummy with warm custard.

Those Biscotti sound delicious and a good use for my oatbran and wholemeal flour! What's the recipe please?
