...brought to you by Recipes EU





Tricolor Almond Cookies
1 cup Butter or margarine
1 cup Sugar
12 1/2 oz Can almond filling
4 large Eggs, separated
2 cup Flour
2 tsp Baking powder
Food coloring - RED & GREEN
Seedless raspberry jam
- Apricot preserves
1 1/2 cup Chocolate chips


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour three 8x11-inch pans.

Cream the butter and sugar. Mix in almond filling. Add egg yolks, then
flour and baking powders gradually, and mix well.

In separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff and fold them into
batter. Separate batter into 3 equal parts. Tint one part red, one
part green and leave one as is.

Spread each color into a separate baking pan and bake for 8-10
minutes or until cake springs back to the touch. Let cool in pans.
Spread red layer with jam (remain in pan). Remove next layer and
place on top of red layer and spread with preserves. Place third
layer on top of second layer. Cover with plastic wrap.

Place cake in refrigerator overnight, weighted down evenly with a
cutting board or plates and heavy cans, etc.

Following day melt 1 cup of chocolate chips over hot water. Spread on
top and sides of cake. Return cake to the refrigerator until
chocolate hardens. Remove and flip cake over so chocolate coating is
on bottom. Melt the remaining 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, frost top
of cake. Return to fridge until chocolate hardens. Cut into pieces.
These cookies freeze well.

Dieting made easy

If you wish to lose weight and improve your general vitality, then, as any dietician will tell you, you should decide on a thoughtfully prepared sensible dietary regime. In a perfect world, this should incorporate 5 measures of fruit and vegetables every day and also take in the correct mixture of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

In planning a daily routine, you have to also endeavour to cut back on your intake of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.

When people first start dieting, they far too often concentrate on department store and big brand foods labelled as 'low-fat'. This is most certainly a miscalculation, insofar as a food could be lowered in fats, but whilst still being elavated in carbohydrates.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. From time to time during a hectic day, you have an idea you want a snack when in fact you may need a healthy drink of water or orange squash. The feelings of thirst and hunger are somewhat similar, albeit one of the two can lead to a fat tummy and the other is ok.

As an alternative to concentrating on the foods that you need to leave out of your dietary regime, focus on the "good" foods that you might want to introduce to your daily routine. If you inject the recommended amount wholesome fruit and vegetables into your dietary regime, you'll discover that you feel more satisfied and have a significantl;y reduced likelihood of being tempted by those unwholesome midday potato chips.
