I am a mom of 4 boys. I am cooking for real for the first time in my life and LOVE IT. I am learning how to make all the stuff I usually buy at the store and in turn am not spending money on that stuff and avoiding any other temptation I may have at the store. I am LDS and have food storage of wheat, sugar, pasta, and dry milk. I hope you get out of my blog a fraction at least of what I have gotten out of this experience.

Agave Nectar--my favorite sweetener


I love Agave Nectar.

I had no idea it existed until about a year ago I was disgusted by all the syrups with the high fructose corn syrup. If it wasn't that it was the price. I was at SPROUTS. My favorite store and saw AGAVE NECTAR next to the syrups. I was intrigued and asked about it. The lady working at Sprouts told me she thought I would like it..that it sweetens everything. I decided to try it and now by it by the case from Amazon. They have it at Costco as well but I like buying it in more of a bulk so I only have to buy it every 6 months. This stuff is great. It doesn't crystallize like honey. It is not as sweet as honey..and is thinner than honey. You can keep it in your cupboard and not have to worry about it going bad..and it can be used for pancakes, or on your bread with butter. Anyway--its the best thing out there for a sweetener..That is all natural. Try it. I love it! I got the AMBER color one (darker) and it looks just like maple syrup--and I think it tastes very similar. The light color is fine too..The dark just looks great on pancakes!


here is what wikipedia has to say about it
