Easy Christmas Stollen
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup mixed candied fruit, chopped
2 tbsp brandy
3 cup flour, to 3-1/2 c
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup almonds, ground
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cardamon, ground
1/4 tsp nutmeg, ground
1/2 cup butter
1 cup farmer cheese (or cottage cheese)
2 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 1/2 cup sugar, confectioners
2 tbsp milk
1 candied cherries
1 whole almonds
Combine the raisins, mixed candied fruit and brandy; let stand at room
temperature for an hour. Combine the next eight ingredients. Cut in
the butter with a pastry blender or food processor until the mixture
resembles coarse meal. Process the farmer cheese in a food processor
or blender until smooth. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, vanilla,
raisin mixture, and walnuts to the dry ingredients, stirring until
moistened. Shape the dough into a ball.
Turn the dough out on a floured surface, and knead until smooth (one
to two minutes), adding more flour if necessary. Roll dough to form
an oval about 12" x 8-1/2". Brush the dough with a tablespoon of the
melted butter. Fold the long side of the dough over to within about
an inch and a half of the opposite side. Place on baking sheet lined
with parchment. Bake at 350 F. for 40 to 45 minutes or until the loaf
is lightly browned. Brush with the remaining melted butter. Transfer
the stollen to wire rack to cool. Combine the confectioners' sugar
and milk, stirring until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread.
Garnish with candied cherries and almonds.

Diet tips
If you really want to become slim and boost your general shape, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to decide on a meticulously planned healthy-minded meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to take in five helpings of fruit & vegetables a day and also take in the right combination of carbohydrate, fats, and proteins.
In deciding on a meal plan, it is essential to also try to cut back on your consumption of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
When chosing foods for dieting, people ordinarily look at supermarket and big brand food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is frequently an error, for a food item can be lowered in fats, but still much too high in calories and carbohydrates.
Keep yourself hydrated. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic afternoon, you fancy that you need a snack but really you only need a pure drink of water or orange squash. The sensations of being thirsty and hungry are quite similar, albeit one of them results in a fat tummy and the other one is fine.
As an alternative to concentrating on the many junk foods that you really should eliminate from your meal plan, direct your attention to the "good" foods which you might want to add to your meal plan. If one can insert the recommended portions nutritious fruit & veg into your diet, you will discover that you feel more full and have a substantially lower likelihood of giving in to those unwholesome mid-afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
