To be perfectly honest, I'm not in the mood for blogging this week. The end of winter has me feeling a little bit blah. One of my kids is sick, I'm a bit sleep deprived and, well, feeling blah. Blah blah blah. Rather than writing this post, I'd much prefer to be curled up on the sofa watching old episodes of ER (you know, the ones with Dr Ross, Dr Green, Dr Carter ...).

And so that's been the way over the last few months as I've been trying to get the base of this recipe right - something close to a lovely short biscuit base but not quite so crumbly. I was able to roadtest it on my book group last week. There was a unanimous thumbs up so at last it's ready for you as well. This recipe is quite low in sugar. The … [Read more...]
