Anise-Almond Biscotti
3/4 cup Whole almonds
2 1/4 cup Flour
1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/2 cup Butter, softened
1/4 cup Sugar
2 Eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp Anise seeds
To toast almonds, preheat oven to 350=B0F. Spread almonds in a single
layer on a baking sheet and toast, turning occasionally, for 10
minutes. Set aside to cool, then roughly chop. Sift together flour,
baking powder and salt in a small mixing bowl. Set aside. Cream
butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl until
fluffy; then beat in eggs and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture,
mix until combined, then stir in chopped almonds and anise seeds.
Dough will be stiff. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work
surface, then, using your hands or a rolling pin, shape into one long
roll, about 3 inches by 13 inches. Line baking sheet with parchment
paper or aluminum foil (shiny side up). Transfer dough roll to baking
sheet, flatten slightly, then bake until golden brown, about 35
minutes. Remove from oven--do not turn oven off--and set aside until
cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes. Using a serrated knife, cut
roll, on the diagonal, into 1/2 inch thick slices. Place slices flat
on baking sheet and bake, turning once, until golden brown, about 5
minutes per side. Do not over bake: Biscotti will feel soft in the
middle but will become crisp and hard as they cool. Allow to cool
completely on pan. Biscotti will keep in a sealed container for up to
4 weeks. Makes about 2 dozen

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but need to regain your youthful figure and make improvements in your overall vitality, without doubt you really should commence a thoughtfully designed wholesome weight loss program. At best, this must take in 5 standard portions of fruit & vegetables each day and contain the correct mix of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
When deciding on a dietary regime, it is important to make sure you decrease consumption of salt, fat and refined carbohydrate.
When buying food, dieters far too often concentrate on supermarket and brand name food products claiming to be 'low fat'. This is usually incorrect, since a food item may be reduced in fat, but still high in calories.
Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is indispensable for our general good health and is blessed with calories and fat. It also has the benefit that it fills a dieter's stomach and helps reduce sensations of hunger. The recommended portions researchers claim that we should aim to drink at the minimum 6 tumblers of water a day.
Rather than thinking about those food types you need to leave out of your diet, look at the good foods which you are able to bring into your daily routine. If you can bring in the recommended portions nutritious grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you'll find that you feel more full and have a far lower chance of giving in to those detrimental midday chocolates.
