POWER TO THE PEOPLE…

POWER TO THE PEOPLE…
Persian Power Bars I have been twiddling around with the idea of power bars for sometime as the ones you can buy are; A) nasty tasting B) bad for you in that they have masses of additives and C) because I have a Thermomix and that is what I do!

SOW A FEW CRANBERRY AND PECAN WILD OATS
Maple and Cranberry Toasted Crunch Muesli, Granola, Floor Sweepings, Cereal, Crumble…the names go on. My husband has a (dare I say it?) fetish for a crunchy start to his day…or for that matter would prefer a bowl of this with icy cold milk for dessert on most nights. Not for him the rich,...

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!

NO PAIN, ‘PAIN BRIOCHE’!
Golden Brioche Eat Me Eat Me The Love Affair I have with bread apparently should stop or at least slow down. According to an Ion Cleanse I had this last week anyway.
