Giving Agave Nectar Some Love

Posted on by LFFL

Agave Nectar

I just love using agave as a sweetener.  I usually put it in hot cereals like oatmeal, but I use it in tea, too, to sweeten it up.  It’s great.

I found my ‘sometimes’ sugar substitute.  I can’t count sugar out completely, you know, try as I might.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, buy yourself some agave and give it a try if you haven’t already.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  You can use agave practically anywhere you would have used sugar for lots of things.

Agave Barbecue Sauce

Sauce made with olive oil, onions, fresh garlic, tomato sauce, agave syrup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and salt & pepper.

I have to say this was my first time making my very own sauce.  The reason I probably had so much fun making it is because it was so interesting to me that I wasn’t using an actual BOTTLE of sauce from the store for the first time ever.

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts covered in sauce.

I used a recipe from the Dr. Oz show but I only made the chicken part of it—not the ribs.  It was one of the simplest things I could have made.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, try making your own sauces from scratch.  Give it a whirl.

Take-Away Life Lesson:  Some homemade sauces actually taste much better than store-bought.
