When you really just fancy ‘something nice’….

I happened on an easy recipe for savoury carrot and cheese flapjacks. They are definitely 'something nice'. I make them twice a week; just the job at 11 ish with a coffee. And about right now with a mug of tea.

Today I sat in the car with a galaxy chocolate mcflurrie and enjoyed it , im diabetic borderline and try to stay away from sweet things.....

Ooh, could you post the recipe here, please?

Marmin I'd really appreciate the recipe for your healthy flapjacks. I love savory bites.

Marmin They sound yummy. Can you post the recipe please.
I am always on the lookout for vegetarian recipes.

My 'something nice' is a lemon madeleine dunked in a cup of coffee.

They sound nice Marmin

If Marmin misses this then there is a recipe online from
Riverford Organic Farmers that I use
Very simple recipe but tasty

Recipe coming up. Be prepared to grate!
175g grated carrot.
175g grated cheese
150g oats
One egg
Salt and pepper and half teaspoon dried herbs of choice - I use oregano.
Mix by hand is easiest I find then, using a small baking sheet lined with parchment,I press the mixture until it is desired depth. Use the parchment to tidy the sides and dot the surface with tiny spots of butter. 25 mins at 170 fan.
I use a full flavoured cheese (cornish Quartz) and it certainly produces excellent results.

There is definitely something about hot weather that brings out a yearning for some sweet or sweetish treat, isnt there? Bit of a loosening of the control...

I did smile there Shel1951 at the "in-car consumption" of naughties, but managed to control myself in Tescos by treating myself en route a walk to a punnet of good raspberries, wolfed the lot down, instead of the Danish pastries placed strategically lurking near the Costa coffee machine.

I bought a large box of cherries from Tesco last week, they were delicious...hadn't had cherries for ages

Today I read about the new M&S strawberry creme sandwich. I enjoyed a few last summer and thought I would try this year's chocolate and pistachio one. When I got there they had both types so I bought one of each and ate both for brunch!
They also had some large packs of cherries, so I bought one of those too! I only went for cottage cheese which I have been unable to find at Asda recently.

In for a penny .....shysal

Wyllow3 ...today I would definitely gone for the Danish pastries

You’re shameless hussies, all of you. But sooooo honest 🙊

I have a stash of almond and pistachio Aldi's cheaper version, ostensibly for grandchildren when they're with us. Occasionally, I do a little skimming of that supply.
