My fine brown hair, stubbornness and to an extent driving skills have all come from my mother. So has my nutty fascination for health and fitness.
I can't remember exactly when, but she started concocting something magical in our kitchen (magic for me involves anything with chocolate, fyi). They're called haystacks, and although I've seen them being prepared, chilling in the freezer and out after dinner, I've always been forbidden to try her special treat (they're that good!).
Special for ASA readers, she's agreed to share her chocolaty fiber treat and an extra recipe!
