The Best Yogurt Dip - EVER
I have a friend - Suzanne - who is simply the best cook I've ever met - she made this dip from the Barefoot Contessa Book last weekend and we simply went week at the knees - even the 18yr olds boys (whose birthday party we were celebrating) were hogging the celery and carrots just to have a DIP!!

My Mothers recipe for Brown Bread - it can't be beaten!!
It's so easy to make, takes ten minutes to prepare.
Total cost for 2 loaves approx €0.95cent, dep on brand of product you buy!
Cooking Time: 45mins
No appliances needed, only a bowl and a fork!
P.S. Just double the amounts for two loafs - easier cos 1 is never enough! (can be frozen).
P.P.S. Use bun tins to make scones if you prefer!
Use loaf tins - Tescos are €5 each. Put a little oil in tin and rub around edges with your fingers, pour in the mixture to 2/3 of the tin. One tip I would suggest is the deeper the tin the better the bread! It Rises!
Cook at 180deg for first 15mins and then reduce to 160deg for last 30mins. If you have a fan assisted oven put a bowl with water on the top shelf (oven safe) to stop the bread from drying out.
Wait til cool and remove - Voila!!!!!!
Homemade Brown Bread you will love, and alot cheaper than buying it!
