Lavender Shortbread Cookies
1/2 cup butter, sweet, room temp
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar unsifted
2 tsp dried lavender blossoms
1 tsp crushed dried spearmint leaves
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 cup unsifted flour


Preheat oven to 325 F. Prepare an 8" square baking pan by lining it
with aluminum foil and coating the foil lightly with a vegetable oil
spray.

Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the sugar, lavender,
spearmint and cinnamon. Work in the flour and blend until the
mixture is crumbly. Scrape it into the prepared pan and spread until
level, pressing lightly to compact it evenly.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
Gently lift both the foil and shortbread out of the pan onto a
cutting surface. Slice the bars with a serrated knife. Transfer to a
wire rack to cool completely. Store in a tightly sealed tin.

Yield: 25 to 30 bars.

Lewandowski writes: "Try these light and delicate bars and enjoy the
hint of lavender and mint flavors."

Dieting tips

If you want to drop a dress size and improve your general vitality, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should start a carefully configured sensible meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 measures of grains and vegetables per day and require the right combination of fats, carbs and proteins.

When deciding on a daily routine, the important thing is to endeavour to regulate your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.

When people first start dieting, they often concentrate on department store and well known products sold as 'low fat'. This is far too often foolish, insofar as a food could be very low in fat, but still contain excess carbs & calories.

One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. Your body needs water , it is essential for our survival and has zero calories. It also fills your tummy and decreases feelings of emptiness. A few nutritionalists maintain that we should try to drink as a minimum six glasses of plain water each day of the week.

Instead of dwelling on the types of food you should eliminate from your meal plan, focus on the healthy foods which you should add to your daily routine. If you can introduce the recommended amount nourishing fruit & veg into your diet, you will be delighted to find that stop feeling hungry and have a much decreased probability of being seduced by those damaging afternoon chocolates.
