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

Diet hints and tips
If your aim is to lose weight and develop your general healthiness, then you need to eat a meticulously calculated well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain five portions of pulses and vegetables every day and also take in the correct blend of fat, carbs and protein.
When planning a meal plan, the important thing is to also try to cut down your intake of refined carbohydrate, fat and salt.
When chosing foods for dieting, dieters usually direct your attention to retail store and well known food items sold as 'low in fat'. To do this is frequently a miscalculation, seeing as how a food item may be moderate in fat content, but nevertheless far too high in calories and carbs.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Now and then during a busy work day, you have an idea you want a snack but really you may need a healthy cup of water or squash. The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight increase and the other leads to no harm.
Instead of thinking about the many types of food you need to leave out of your weight loss program, focus on the recommended foods that you can add to your meal plan. If one can manage to insert some beneficial fruit & vegetables into your diet, you will discover that stop feeling hungry and have a far reduced likelihood of being seduced by those unhealthy midday snacks.
