  1. Replace with Honey with Yacon Root Sirup, its beneath us humans to steal the poor bees hard labor. And its a low Glycomic Index food

  2. Whipped this up in mini food processor. Tangy, different and no fat! What's not to love?!:? Served this in a whole wheat tortilla bowl with romaine lettuce, black beans, fresh tomatoes and avocado. Incredible FRESH taste! <br/><br/>I added cilantro to the dressing and omitted basil and jalapeno (out of both). Trying with a touch of lime next time.

  3. I wanted to make a low fat Mexican style coleslaw for dinner tonight, but none of the recipes on here really interested me. They were either swimming in oil, or lacking in any Mexican sort of flavourings at all. I was rapt to find this dressing, then make my own coleslaw to suit> I'd say this dressing will get made often and I can't wait to make it with fresh basil (I refuse to pay $3,95 for a tiny, tiny bag of the stuff so used dried instead). I also had to use red wine vinegar, but it still turned out just great.

  4. Oops put 2 tab of honey! So yummy!

  5. Really excellent on a salad with red grapes and avocado! I did use a teaspoon of oil because I always oil my measuring spoon so the honey doesn't stick, plus I added two large pinches of kosher salt and a few turns of the pepper mill. Made the whole thing in the Vitamix, so it was smooth.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
