Choux Pastry- for Profiteroles, Cream Puffs or Eclairs
An easy pastry to make. Can be used for profiteroles, cream puffs or eclairs. Pastry can be frozen after being cooled. When defrosted return to the oven to crisp if required. Unfilled pastries can be frozen for up to two months. For eclairs top with chocolate and fill with cream. For profiteroles top with chocolate and fill with custard or vanilla cream. For cream puffs sprinkle with icing sugar and fill with cream. A quick creamy filling is to blend a box of powdered dessert vanilla custard pudding mix with a carton of thickened cream (just use a balloon whisk). It’s been a long time since I have used this recipe-so my servings is a guess
Quick Low-Fat Mushrooms
A simple fry-pan cooked mushroom -lowfat version for my New Years Resolution to lose some weight. Great served on toast with egg, serve on top of steak or chicken. For a gluten-free or lactose free then check your stock powder is suitable (I use Massel brand-GF, vegan, lactose free and all natural). For a creamier sauce use low-fat cream or evaporated milk in place of the water. I’ve noticed that the nutrition panel seems to be picking up on the extra olive oil-it’s optional and only needed if your mushrooms require. Instead of the extra oil you could use a little water.
Peanut Butter, Banana and Sultanas Sandwiches or Pinwheel Style
Yummy little snack for little kids or big kids. Alternatively, you can use either two slices of the same bread (either two white bread or two wholemeal bread) it’s just to make it look pretty and healthy for kids. The pinwheel style is difficult to do without making a mess so if you don’t like a mess or a challenge. You can use two more slice of bread and place them on the top, this will then be a serving size for two. Please be careful with nuts, we don’t give Little Miss (DD) nuts because her cousin has a severe nut allergy.

From Diabetes Australia The Ultimate Diabetes Cookbook in response to a request for sweet treats with nuts. Times are estimated and have not included standing time of 3 to 4 days. The name Almond Bread is a bit of a misnomer so have changed the title 30/4/2008.
