Early summer in the lake district
A trip to Maldon
A windy day at Barton-on-Sea
A pleasant hour by the lake
Just been looking at some pictures of visits from earlier this year, which I thought I'd put up on the blog - well why not !
Now I may also enjoy a slice of Low carb Pear, Cinnamon and cream sponge cake later ... see how to make it below.
100g ground almonds
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of melted butter
2 tablespoons of double cream
2 tea spoons of cinnamon
120 grams of pear quarters
Method:
Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Almonds, baking powder and cinnamon.
Melt the butter, I use a Pyrex jug, add the eggs, cream, then add the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour mix into a 6" x 3" micro-wave safe glass dish, cook at 700 watts for 3 minutes. Allow to cool and cut in half. Spread on extra thick cream and add tinned pear quarters, dust with cinnamon powder. (Of course you could use fresh pears if preferred.)

Love the images Jan........it is good to look back on beautiful days that we have enjoyed.
I love pears.....I rarely eat cake of any kind (I do not have a sweet tooth)
But it has three of my favourite ingredients almonds cinnamon and pears, so in this instance I will.
I tried the sardine recipe that you showed here and I really enjoyed it.
I shall be using it again.....made a great lunchtime meal.
There's nothing like looking back at holiday photos with blue skies to cheer you up on grey days. We've got a mist here again this morning, it's been taking till the afternoon to clear but then we've had some lovely sunny afternoons. I shall remember this recipe, I've been promised some pears by my next door neighbour but they're on holiday at the moment so they haven't been harvested yet.
What wonderful photos, greetings!

Thank you so much for your lovely comments here.
I do agree photo's are great to have and look back on - they can evoke so many special memories.
This is a very nice recipe and not too sweet to taste, we enjoy it ... hope you do to.
So nice to have feedback from the sardine recipe, and glad you enjoyed it.
Happy October Wishes
All the best Jan
Note: If anyone else may like to try the sardine recipe it's here

Many thanks for your comments here, I always enjoy reading them.
You can't beat fresh pears, although I do often use tinned ones for this recipe and it works well.
I do agree photo's are excellent to look back on and remember nice days ...
This time of year those early morning mists can be a bit of a problem, but very often they clear into a lovely afternoon ... just right for the garden or a walk!
Enjoy your October.
All the best Jan

These photos are amazing! The food is always pretty nice too.
Thanks for enjoying the cat post. Need one or two?
Have a blessed evening.
Gail
Glad you liked the photo's ... and yes this is a nice pear cake recipe!
I think I'll leave it to you to look after those cats - I did like that first photo on your recent post.
Happy October Wishes
All the best Jan
Your pictures of your trip are wonderful, Jan. Such nice places to visit. The pear cake looks scrumptious. Pears used to be my favorite fruit when I was a little girl, and when I got older it changed to CHERRIES!
Happy October!

So pleased you enjoyed these four photo's, they are four of my favourite.
I do always place pears with Autumn and they just go great with cinnamon in this recipe.
I too like Cherries, and eat them occasionally - read more about this fruit here

Enjoy the rest of your week and a Happy October to you and your family.
All the best Jan
Thanks for your comment. At least you'd be a low-carb choice. No spikes in sugar.

Many thanks for your comment and I loved your post on kale chips ... they are a favourite low carbers choice! A bit like this pear cake recipe, made with ground almonds it does not spike blood sugars.
Have a relaxing Friday evening and a super weekend.
All the best Jan
Carla

It's a great pear cake recipe, especially so made with ground almonds ...

I'm a huge fan and user of almond flours and almond meals. They are wonderful, regardless of low-carb, no-carb, high-carb. Almond flour is just plain old Good Eats.
Have a great weekend and boogie boogie.
Apologies Ivy - your comment was accidentally deleted so I've copied it from the email.
But I do agree with you it is a great eat
Hope your weekend is going well
All the best Jan
Always good to look back and see where we've been and bring back memories of lovely times and trips away.

Yes it is good to look back at favourite photo's ... they stir the memory.

Yes, ground nuts are another one of my top picks. Nuts and seeds, if I can make them into a flour, then I'm one Happy Whisk.
Ivy
I sometimes think we ought to make more use of the wonderful nuts and seeds that are available to us ... bearing in mind any allergies, or other underlying health conditions of course ... but they are very versatile.
Many thanks for your comments here and around the low carb diabetic blog
All the best Jan
