So Sweet.



We all know that the "white stuff" isn't so good for our bodies. That includes you, sugar. However, what seems like unfortunate and sad news has an upside and a healthy alternative. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to Agave Nectar, a natural alternative to processed sugar.


You can use Agave as a sugar substitute. It is especially good in sauces, or homemade salad dressing recipes that call for sugar. (The nectar is sweeter than sugar, so make sure you take note of ratio when cooking. ) You can put it in your tea, you can drizzle it over yogurt (yum) or swap it for simple syrup in cocktails. This is the nectar of the gods, people! Go sweeten up your Monday with it!

thanks Annie! I have actually wondered for a while what all the hype about Agave Nectar is... It is on my shopping list... How does it work in baking?
