I find they are always better the day after when they have had time to settle and flavours mingle so to speak. Think I've got my loaf tomorrow or saturday? So will report back with that one. What cake will you make? Xx
Hello hun! There's loads to read tbh so wouldn't recommend all my nattering
but welcome to my ramblings! XxHey dippy, I got the recipe off Facebook but only put 1 tbsp coffee, could have done with double. Oh and don't forget to add sweetener like I did
xx

You are correct!! Do you like philadelphia? You can get the light / ex light and sweeten that, couple of drops of vanilla essence and use that as a topping xx

Love your cake for breakfast and was drooling at your dinner. I had something similar on Sunday. It was so Yum. I poached a chicken breast and broke that up and used the stock it made in the risotto (i poached it with a carrot, celery and some leek).
Anju, I tend to drop a size every 2 stone, I'm hoping this will speed up as I shrink. BUT I remember for my first award buying myself a really cute cath kidston jug to hold my hea milk allowance in (to go with the cups my parent's had bought me) I think my 1 stone one was a cute necklace from a sweet, little shop by me. My 5 stone one was some fabric I really wanted to make a quilt. Umm... One of my awards (i can't remember which, it might have been 4 stone) was a book I really wanted. Other ones have been clothes, but there are lots of things out there to treat yourself with

I don't see why I can't have my cake AND eat it... for breakfast
It was really nice and I have a slice for after dinner too. I am really looking forward to having it! I love your little 'Self gifts', especially the little jug. I may have to look for one actually for my 9.5 stone shiny. Great idea.
Your risotto sounds gorgeous too, love chicken risotto but not made in a long time so think this may go on the menu next week xxx

I'm thinking I might go for the coffee cake that you've made, I don't really want to be making one with syns in it as I like to keep those for wine & chocs on a Saturday night. I'm fancying something sweet though!

It is good for a 'no syn' cake, as I said I would recommend more than 1-2 tsp (I put 1 tbsp. and that wasn't enough in my opinion) and don't forget the sweetener!! Actually, it might not need more coffee, because the recipe states to top it with coffee flavoured quark so maybe that makes a difference too? I may have to make another cake just to find out

Proper crusty bread for a healthy extra. Really impressed with that.
I brought the last 3 packets and put them in the freezer!

They are the best mini baguettes EVER! (Well, maybe not but when you can use them as a HexB and are white bread then yeah, they are the best ever so ner
) In our household they never last very long as the boy likes to have with his soup on a weekend... although he can eat any bread and it doesn't effect him but noooo he wants miiiine. Git. xxx

Cheeky little snack
And a banana. 4.5 syns.
Dinner is all free too and will have a HexA of cheese on/in it.
And to follow will be the last of the scan bran cake with ice cream, nom! Now, do I have the whole pot or half? I have the choc, passionfruit/mango and strawberry so a nice choice. Probably go for half a choc? Xx

OMG! Where did you get your peanut butter cups from? I'ver never seen them but I lurve peanut butter.
Love the look of your cake too, although I would do carrot cake - I can't stand coffee cake.

Thanks - I'm popping there tonight, so I hope I can find some. I can't promise not to eat them all at once though! Are they 4.5 each? Well done for making it last. If I had anything left, I think my lunch nicker at work would pinch it, she pinched a piece of pineapple off my fork today lol x
