1/2 cup Whole unblanched almonds
2 1/2 cup All-purpose white flour
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Salt
2 large Eggs
2 large Egg whites
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp Unsweetened coco powder
2 tsp Instant coffee
1 oz Unsweet. chocolate - melted
1/2 tsp Pure almond extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Spread almonds on a baking sheet and
bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Set aside.
Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk
together eggs, egg whites and vanilla, and add to the dry
ingredients. Mix just until smooth. In a small bowl, combine cocoa,
instant coffee and 4 tsp. water. Divide the dough in half. To one
half, add the cocoa mixture and melted chocolate. Mix just until
incorporated. To the other half, stir in almond extract and almonds.
Place half of the almond dough on a well-floured work surface. Pat
into a 4x8 inch rectangle. Top with half of chocolate dough. Roll up
into a log b, then roll back and forth to form a 14 inch log, 1 1/2
inches thick. Repeat with the remaining doughs. Place the logs on a
prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until firm to
the touch. Transfer the logs to a rack to cool. Reduce the oven
temperature to 300 degrees F.
Cut the logs diagonally into 1/2 inch slices. Stand the slices
upright on the baking sheet and bake for 40 more minutes. Let cool
before storing in an air tight container.
* This makes 2 loaves. For easy doubling of this recipe, make 2
recipes, one all almond and one all chocolate.
* Before putting chocolate dough on top of almond dough, brush a
little water between them. Also, an egg white whisked with a little
water brushed on logs before baking gives them a nice look.

Dieting made easy
If you wish to shed a few kilos and make improvements in your overall vitality, then, without doubt, you really should follow a thoughtfully configured well-balanced diet. Theoretically, this should incorporate 5 standard portions of fruit & veg every day and embrace a sensible mix of proteins, carbs and fats.
When planning a weight loss program, it is essential to make sure you cut back on your consumption of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When starting a weight loss program, people far too often direct your attention to food store and brand name food items professing to be 'low fat'. To do this is frequently a mistake, for a food might be significantly reduced in fat, but whilst still remaining high in carbs.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Your body must have water , it is necessary for our physical condition and is empty of fat and calories. It is also good in that it fills a dieter's empty stomach and decreases feelings of emptiness. The recommended amount experts maintain that we should aim to drink as much as 6 tumblers of plain water every day.
As an alternative to thinking about which foods that you should leave out of your dietary regime, look at the recommended foods that you should introduce to your diet. If you introduce a few wholesome grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you'll soon find that stop feeling hungry and have a much decreased chance of falling prey to those unhealthy afternoon chocolates.
