Nicky's Favourite Shortbread
1 cup Unsalted butter (room temp.)
1/2 cup Icing sugar
2 cup All purpose flour*
1/4 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
Slivers of glaced cherries


* 1 3/4 c if measured before sifting

Cream butter and sugar together until silky. Add sifted dry
ingredients and mix until blended, but just. Turn out on a lightly
floured pastry cloth, & with lightly floured hands, gather into one
lump. (This may appear sloppy & maybe hopeless. As in pastry, you
will go wrong if you are too heavy handed or afraid of it!) Toss it
just a bit to get it to lump and pat out into a square about 1/3 inch
thick; square off your edges with a large knife or spatula, smooth
with a stocking rolling pin and cut into 1 inch squares. Place
slightly apart on ungreased cookie sheet with a sliver of cherry on
each. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. They should be just
pale brown on bottom. WATCH IT, THEY BURN VERY EASILY. Remove gently
please, they are still having birth pangs; place to cool on trays
covered with waxed paper. Store in cans, they keep for weeks in a
cool place, and their flavour mellows.

Weight loss hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to shed a few pounds and also develop your overall shape, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to undertake a thoughtfully calculated balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this ought to involve five standard portions of fruit/vegetables each day and also include a sensible blend of protein, carbohydrates and fats.

In deciding on a meal plan, the most important step is to also endeavour to restrict your ingestion of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.

When chosing foods for dieting, people ordinarily focus on retail store and branded foods described as 'low-fat'. To do this is ordinarily wrong, since a food can be very low in fats, but whilst still being high in carbs.

Make sure that you drink enough fluids. Now and then at some stage in a hectic morning, you assume that you are a little peckish when in fact you might simply want a restorative glass of water or orange squash. The sensations of thirst and hunger are nearly the same, albeit one of the two leads to bad health and the other leads to no harm.

Instead of dwelling on the many types of food you need to leave out of your daily routine, focus on the healthy foods that you might want to bring into your dietary regime. If you inject the recommended portions healthy fruit and vegetables into your diet, you will be delighted to find that you feel more full and have a substantially reduced risk of being tempted by those damaging between meals nibbles.
