Even better, these work beautifully as individual little cakes, which makes them easy to serve and very impressive on a plate!They're light, not too sweet, and absolutely gorgeous with all that fresh fruit.Black Star-Inspired Individual Watermelon CakesMakes 6These are built in layers:Hazelnut & oat base → rose yoghurt → watermelon → rose yoghurt → hazelnut & oat → yoghurt → berries & pistachiosHazelnut & Oat Biscuit LayersYou can make these ahead and keep them in an airtight container.You'll need:1 cup rolled oats1 cup ground hazelnuts (or almond meal if easier)1 egg white2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup1 tablespoon olive oil or melted coconut oilHow to make them:Mix everything together until it forms a soft, slightly sticky dough.Roll out between baking paper and cut into rounds (use a glass or cutter).Bake at 170°C for about 12-15 minutes until lightly golden.Cool completely - they'll firm up as they cool.They should be lightly crisp with a bit of chew, perfect for layering.Rose Yoghurt LayerYou'll need:Thick Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt (about 2-3 cups)1-2 teaspoons rose water (start small - it's strong)Optional: 1-2 teaspoons honey if you'd like it slightly sweeterMix gently and taste as you go. You want a delicate floral note, not a perfume hit!Tip: If your yoghurt isn't very thick, strain it in a sieve lined with paper towel or cloth for an hour or two first.

Well you're not alone according to a new study published 'How discrimination hurts: Lack of fair treatment leads to obesity issues'. The following excerpt is a summary from Science Direct. Let us know your thoughts below this blog.People, especially men, who feel any kind of discrimination, are likely to see their waistlines expand, according to research from Purdue University."This study found that males who persistently experienced high levels of discrimination during a nine-year period were more likely to see their waist circumference increase by an inch compared to those who did not report discrimination," said Haslyn E.R.
