    It's out of this book

    10oz (270g) Jar Apple Sauce
    4oz/115g/1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
    4oz/115g/3/4 cup raisins (I just used some mixed fruit I had in the cupboard)
    2oz/50g/1/4 cup demerara sugar (I used dark brown soft as no demerara)
    2oz/50g/1/4 cup sunflower seeds
    1oz/25g/2tbsp sesame seeds
    1oz/25g/2tbsp pumpkin seeds
    3oz/75g/1 cup rolled oats
    3oz/75g/2/3 cup self raising wholemeal flour
    2oz/50g/2/3 cup desiccated coconut
    2 eggs

    For the seeds I used a combination of sunflower, pumpkin, sesame and linseed as I them ready mixed in the house.

    Oven 200C 400F Gas 6. Grease and line 8" square tin. Mix Apple Sauce, raisins, sugar and seeds, mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Add the remaining ingredients and gently stir until combined. Tip into the tin and level. Bake for 25 mins or until golden and firm. Cool in the tin, lift out and cut into bars.

    I beat the eggs before adding them. You could use any combination of fruit and seeds.

    I've cut them into little squares, which are adult bite size but snack size for Katie.

    Enjoy!

  • Mel it's lovely but I wouldn't feel comfortable in a halter neck all day, my bazoomas are too big!!
    Double oops! I always have to stop and think what you mean when you say PW! Got there in the end though.

    Sorry - the Practice Wife :D

    Things are slightly strained with the PW today. This morning she said to hubby that we had agreed to look after DSS for 2 weeks of the summer holidays, which we would love to do but I am not sure how she expects us to have him when we are at work!! We did say we could work it out to have him at least 1 weekday a week for the next 4 weeks until he goes on holiday as well as the usual weekends but quite where she got us having him for 2 weeks solid I do not know. When hubby said we never agreed to do that she started ranting about him twisting things 'again'.

    Anyway, it will all work itself out I am sure. She flips like this every now and then - there is a reason hubby didn't practice with her for long :rotfl:

    It is not too over the top...I would possibly wear a cardi with it though to hide my flabby arms. Which would also help to dress it down a wee bit.

    MFD - Unfortunately I haven't got a problem with big bazoomas;)...in fact me belly probably sticks out further!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
