Anise Biscotti
2 cup + 2 Tbps flour
3/4 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Anise seeds, crushed
1 tsp Baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking soda
1/4 tsp Salt
3 Egg equivalents (comercial
Replacer, 6 whites, etc)
2 tbsp Grated fresh lemon zest (or
1 tbsp Dry)
1 tbsp Fresh lemon juice


Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Coat baking sheet with non-stick
spray or parchment. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, anise
seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together egg
equivalents, lemon zest, and lemon juice, and add to the dry
ingredients. Mix well. Working on a floured surface, shape dough into
two logs, each about 14 inches long and 1-1/2 inches thick. Set the
logs on prepared baking sheet, at least 4 inches apart (the dough
will spread during baking). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until firm to
the touch. Transfer the logs to the rack to cool. Reduce oven
temperature to 300 degrees F. Cut the logs diagonally into
1/2-inch-thick slices, using a serrated knife and a gentle sawing
motion. Stand the slices on their sides on the baking sheet and
return to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool
completely before storing. Biscotti will crisp as they cool. Store,
in an air-tight container, up to one month. Makes about 4 dozen
biscotti.

If you enjoy your food, but need to shed a few kilos and enhance your general wellbeing, then, as any doctor will tell you, you ought to commence a carefully configured healthy-minded diet. At best, this must incorporate five measures of fruit & vegetables on a daily basis and take in the correct fusion of protein, carbs and fats.

The feelings of being hungry and being thirsty are quite similar, but one of them leads to a fat tummy and one leads to no harm.

Instead of concentrating on those junk foods that you should leave out of your diet, direct your attention to the healthy foods which you might want to introduce to your meal plan. If one can manage to bring in the recommended amount wholesome fruit & vegetables into your dietary regime, you will find that stop feeling hungry and have a significantl;y reduced chance of being tempted by those unhealthy mid-morning sweets and chocolates.
