RECIPES from the TQS FORUM

Just to test your 'won't power' - as in 'I won't break my diet for weight loss this week' :wink:

Did really good last week, I managed to lose 2lb despite having some Lardy cake - drool, num, num.... it is something that I never see up here in Yorkshire, but is found 'down south' basically it is a bread dough with sultanas, mixed spice, lard and sugar layered up and folded several times and when it cooks you get a wonderful caramel like toffee on the bottom. And I have been dreaming of having some for several years now, because as I said, it just isn't available up here.

Terrie, have you ever replaced the rhubarb with something else when rhubarb was not in season? The recipe sounds like a great year-round one. Tart granny apples, maybe? Any ideas out there for a substitute?

I've not yet tried it with anything else. But peaches come to mind.

Uuuuuh, that's a great idea. I haven't seen rhubarb since late spring, but peaches... they're coming in by the cartload right now! We have our next tranche of visitors (eight this time) coming in at the end of the week. This might be a great recipe to add to the mix! Thanks, Terrie!

All of these recipes are looking particularly lovely to me this evening. Why is it that when trying to lose weight the recipes reappear on the forum. :?

:lol: :lol: :lol: Right there with you Rita! Working on getting rid of several pounds that just won't go away since my DS was born 3 1/2 years ago (guess can't be called "baby fat" any more). Out of a sudden there's food every where and oh boy! That "won't power" gets really tested :wink:
