into large bowl. Add softened butter, sugar, egg YOLKS, and almond
extract. Beat until light and fluffy - approx 5 min. Beat in flour

Fold into almond mixture until well blended. Divide mixture into
three equal portions. Spread uncolored (yellow-ish) dough into one
jelly roll pan. Add green color to one portion and mix well. Spread
green into second pan. Add red color to final portion and spread in
last pan. Bake for 13 minutes or until edges are golden brown (Do not
overbake).
Immediately remove the cakes from pans using the foil overhang. Heat

through seive. Place green layer on another jelly roll pan and
spread half of the preserves on top all the way to the edges. Slide
yellow layer on top of green and spread the remaining preserves on
top of the yellow layer - all the way to the edges. Slide pink layer
on top of the yellow layer. Cover top with plastic wrap and weight
with heavy bread board. Refrigerate overnight. Melt chocolate in
microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and stir til smooth. Spread
melted chocolate to edges of pink layer. Let chocolate harden and
then cut into 1 inch squares. After cooled, it's nice to pipe small
decorations onto the cut squares (snowmen or xmas trees or any
seasonal design) |

Dieting tips
If you wish to become slim and better your general healthiness, then you should decide on a methodically planned healthy-minded nutrition system. At best, this need to take in 5 portions of fruit/vegetables each day and incorporate an appropriate combination of fat, carbs and protein.
When people first start dieting, they usually direct their attention on food store and branded products sold as 'low-fat'. This is usually incorrect, since a food can be low in fats, but still dangerously high in calories and carbs.
In deciding on a weight loss system, it is essential to also make efforts to lower consumption of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.
