1/2 cup Almonds, whole unblanched
2 cup Flour, all purpose
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 Cocoa powder, unsweetened
2 tsp Instant coffee powder
1 oz Chocolate, unsweetened,
-melted
1/2 tsp 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 the 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 the almonds.
Place half of the almond dough on a well-floured work surface. Pat
into a 4x8inch rectangle. Top with half of the chocolate dough. Roll
up into a cylinder then roll the cylinder 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 temp to 300
degrees F.
Cut the logs diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Stand the slices
upright on the baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes. Let cool before
storing.

Dieting tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to shed a few pounds and also boost your all round healthiness, then you need to start a carefully planned healthy meal plan. In theory, this ought to take in 5 portions of pulses and vegetables daily and involve an appropriate fusion of carbohydrates, fat, and protein.

When deciding on a diet, the most important step is to also try to decrease your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrate.

When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently direct your attention to supermarket and brand name foods claiming to be 'low in fat'. To do this is most certainly foolish, seeing that a food product might be significantly reduced in fat, but also contain excess carbohydrates.

Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. From time to time at some stage in a normal work day, you imagine you want a snack but actually you only need a refreshing drink of water or juice. The feelings of thirst and hunger are much the same, but one of them can lead to weight gain and one is fine.

Instead of concentrating on the many unhealthy foods you should ban from your dietary regime, direct your attention to the sensible foods that you might want to introduce to your dietary regime. If one can inject some nourishing grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a far decreased chance of giving in to those unwholesome mid-afternoon potato chips.
