Funerals always make me sad, I like to cook when I'm sad and on the + side it keeps me busy. Two things happened yesterday
1. Tim bought home some new Marmite Cereal Bars to try!
2. I went to my food group and discovered Tiger Bread is SO NOT GOOD FOR ME!
I tried the marmite bars, but was really disappointed and so decided to research recipes online to amend to make my own version - Marmite & Cheese Flapjacks, I cooked them when we got back this afternoon and the results were really great, I used low fat cheese and rolled oats, they are quite moreish, so I will freeze some and see how they turn out when defrosted. Tim liked them, but I may try a further tweak and add pumpkin & sunflower seeds, which may mean he likes them less.
The tiger bread is another matter, it makes the body's insulin levels spike and then you feel hungry very quickly afterwards which in my case is more likely to lead to a binge, so I decided to make some wholemeal & granary rolls to put in the freezer for when I really fancy bread.
A great night's work and I also managed to work on a project we've been set at Food Group which means I need to collect images, ideas, poems, quotes in fact anything that makes me feel happy. I've decided to put the results in a mini book and I'm working on making the blank ones for all the members of my group for next week. Watch this space for the finished books!

I'm afraid I'm not a marmite lover so those bars wouldn't do for me...but was very interested in the tiger bread facts....OH is a diabetic....so looks like we need to start avoiding it....shame!
The mini book is a great idea....look forward to seeing it.
