Weekly Eating Plan: 25th of April

We have a wee tradition in our family where we attend the ANZAC Dawn Service, sneak to a cafe for a croissant and coffee and then home to bake a fresh batch of ANZAC Biscuits.  I am 'planning' to make it this year with Miss 5 Months, wish us luck! I Quit Sugar has a great sugar free recipe that we will be enjoyed by Han's Food For Though HQ next week.  Bon appetit.xx
