Shrove Tuesday (21st February 2012) the last day before Lent begins, is the day when you are supposed to use up the things you are going to be doing without over Lent i.e. Flour, Butter, Eggs, etc hence the tradition of making Pancakes.  This is a firm favourite in many households and yet many people miss out because they don't have a reliable recipe or have diet restrictions that prohibit eggs, cholesteral, fat or carbohydrates however with these recipes you may find that you too can enjoy this wonderful treat.

Every New Year we make resolutions to increase the amount we exercise, eat less fatty food, give up smoking, shout at the kids less, save more money, etc.  All great goals but unfortunately 25% of us have failed before the end of the first week. Just because you didn’t manage to stick to your resolution to start with doesn’t mean that you have to give up, now is the time to start again.
