Ohh meant to ask did anyone get the Xmas recipe book?? I wanted to make the biscotti out of it but my copy hasn't come yet, even though I bought my countdown last week

If anyone doesn't mind sharing the recipe with me i'd appreciate it.

Was there an offer on buying countdowns last week?

I asked upon joining & was told no.

I did buy one anyway.

Yes there was an offer with the 12 week countdown, up until 29th October, where you got a copy of the new Christmas book.

I bought my countdown last week and was hoping to get my book this week but my consultant is off and we have a cover one (I'm not happy about as the one covering is a patronising b***h!).

I can't even leave earlier really as our usual consultant messaged me last night and asked me to cover the shop - which I'm happy to do, but can't stand this other consultant.:mad:

I wAs talking to my mum about SW and was saying about Muller Light yogurts and she said, that as a diabetic, she couldn't eat them due to all the sugar.

I must admit I have had 3 in a day - one as a milk substitute for breakfast, one after lunch and then maybe one to snack on in t he evening.

One thing I don't understand though is that if they are full of sugar then given the changes to HEB options recently because of sugar how can they keep muller lights as free/ zero syns

Talking about Mullerlights I am a diabetic and I have 1 or 2
each week,but mainly 1. They have'nt raised my blood sugar as yet

If mullerlights are so high, what flavoured yogurts are good to eat on slimming world?

Couldn't make it to class today but weighed on my (accurate) scales and had a STS which is a bad start to the challenge but a miracle due to last weeks 4 day indulgences!! Out for tea tonight for my sister's birthday but I'll try to make good choices...have a happy weekend folks

Biscotti Recipe

Ingredients
50g shelled pistachio nuts
200g plain flour 1tsp reserved for dusting
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp sweetener granules
50g dried figs chopped into small pieces
2 medium eggs plus 1 yolk
Finely grated zest of 1 large unwaxed lemon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

gettingtheresometime

Preheat the oven to 180 C / fan 160 C / gas 4 and line a baking tray with non stick baking paper

Spread out the pistachio nuts on the baking tray and roast for 5 mins. Remove and leave to cool

Shift the flour baking powder and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and stir in the sweetener figs and pistachi nuts.

In another bowl lightly beat the eggs and egg yolk with the lemon zest and vanilla extract. Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and stir in the egg mixture to make a soft dough. Knead briefly on a lightly floured work surface until smooth. Line your baking tray with more baking paper.

Divide the dough in half and roll each piece into an 18 cm long sausage lay them 10 cm apart on the prepared tray and flatten slighty with your hand. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes away clean. Set to cool for 10 minutes.

Reduce the oven temperature to 150 C / fan 130 C / gas 2

Using a serrated knife cut each log slightly on the diagonal into 12 X 1 cm thick slices. Place side by side cut face down on the baking tray and bake for another 20 minutes turning them halfway until they feel slightly firm and dry when pressed. Transfer to a rack and leave them to go cool - they will get harder as they go cold. store in an airtight tin
