Just got back from a great trip to the UK and Ireland, weather was great - must be the global warming !!I stayed with my sister -in- law Pia who is a great cook and I have stolen 2 recipes from her that I knew I could share with you. They are really easy and can be made with store cupboard ingredients (My kind of recipes!)

100g finely chopped almonds

100g Butter-melted

100g Sugar

2 Eggs -organic

200g Plums - cut in 1/2 remove stones

Place the plums in the bottom of an oven proof dish. Mix the balance of the ingredients together and pour over the plums.Voila bake in the oven for 30-40 mins.

Oat Cookies

150g Butter

230g Sugar

1 Egg-organic

125g Plain flour

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease 3 baking trays.

Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg, add the flour and baking powder and mix. You can add raisins or choc chips. Make the mixture into round balls and place onto the baking trays and with a fork press down gently and bake for about 20 mins, until golden brown.
