  1. Hi there, I made these for the first time today but I have been meaning to make this dish for a while now and I am so pleased I did. Very tasty but I fried them and I now wish I had baked them as all my seeds fell of, so I toasted some more in a dry pan and just rolled them in them and they were fine, but the next time I will definitely bake them. I had sesame seeds everywhere LOL I will probably be finding them forever, mind you the dog was doing a lot of sniffing around so she might get the most of them. I made them just like the recipe with no changes, a very nice recipe somewhat of a change for me and I am pleased to say a nice one. Thank you for posting. Made for Honor thy mother diabetic forum May 2011.

However, nessesity really is the mother of invention; instead of feeling sorry for myself and my dietry limitations,,,I got creative. I am in the process of starting my own business, which initially was exclusively targeted at ceoliacs, but thanks to my new husband and his diabetes, we hope to create food that is not only gluten free and sugar free or low carb, but will also cater for those amongst us with a whatever attitude to healthy food...Yes I do have one left at home,,bring on the empty nest.</p> <p><span><span><strong>The other man in my life</strong></span></span></p> <p><img title=The src=http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/5314/file4226.jpg alt=width=320 height=213 /></p>
