Procedures for all recipes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Toast the almonds until golden, then chop by hand into 1/4 inch chunks.
*Reduce oven heat to *325* degrees* Cream the butter until light, add the
sugar and beat till smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs until the mixture is
smooth. Add the (orange, anise, lemon) specific ingredients. Sift in the
flour, baking powder and salt, beat until just mixed. Stir in the almonds.
On a floured board, divide the dough in half and roll each half into a
long roll about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and about 10 inches long. Set
the rolls on a baking sheet at least 3 inches apart, bake in the top third
of the oven (*325*) for about 25 minutes, or until they are set and
lightly browned on top. Cool the rolls for 5 minutes or so, then slice
diagonally into 1/2 inch thick slices. Lay the slices flat on the baking
sheet and return to the oven for another 10 minutes. Turn the slices over
and bake for another 10 minutes. Cool on a rack, and keep in a tightly
covered tin - they keep for months.

Dieting tips
If you enjoy eating, but want to shed a few pounds and also boost your all round healthfulness, without doubt you need to eat a carefully calculated balanced daily routine. Theoretically, this must take in five portions of pulses and vegetables a day and contain a sensible combination of protein, carbs and fat.
When planning a daily routine, it is important to also try to moderate your ingestion of fat, refined carbohydrates and salt.
When starting a weight loss program, people far too often focus on department store and brand name foods professing to be 'low-fat'. To do this is frequently incorrect, seeing that a food product may well be lowered in fat content, but still far too high in carbohydrates.
Make sure that you drink enough fluids. At times during a hectic day, you assume you want to eat but in fact you might only want a restorative drink of water or squash. The sensations of hunger and needing a drink are nearly the same, albeit one of the two leads to bad health and the alternative is ok.
Rather than dwelling on the unhealthy foods that you need to ban from your diet, look at the nutritionally sound foods that you are able to introduce to your dietary regime. If you can inject some healthy grains, cereals and vegetables into your meal plan, you will discover that you feel more full and have a substantially decreased chance of giving in to those unhealthy between meals biscuits.
