Doesn't sweet n low count as an additive and a fake sugar?

How about using Agave? I wonder if that could work well in this frozen dessert? I wonder how much to use?

How about using Agave? I wonder if that could work well in this frozen dessert? I wonder how much to use?

Agave is sweeter than sugar. I'd start with half the amount, and add a bit more if needed. I use agave, raw honey, and coconut palm sugar. I would use any of those in place of the sugar without any qualms.
Some people like Stevia too, and I'm sure that would work well.

Tried the sweet and sour sauce tonight on some chicken I grilled in the grill pan. I cut it in strips and grilled it till it got real sticky. It was SOOOOOOOOO good! THen I uded the awesome grill pan scraper to clean it. THat thing is fabulous! SO glad to have that. It scraped everything right off and it was all sticky and hard in the pan too. I also tried the chili lime on some tortillas in the oven. It was yummy! I am not a big chili season fan, butI did like it.

I made it again today without it, and it was just as good - the sweet n low isn't needed.

We had Thai take out last night, and had spring rolls and crab rangoon with it. We used the Sweet & Sour sauce. It was good, but not $12 good. I can buy OR make just as good for at least half the price. And then, I checked the ingredients, and it contains wheat - so we won't be using it again.

We absolutely LOVE the Teriyaki Sauce with Honey. We had it with potstickers one night and then with baked tuna last night. I think it's the best one yet!! I am a huge fan of the Pineapple, Raspberry and Ginger Wasabi but this one is just too good!

I think the Sweet and Sour Sauce is good too. I hate coconut so I can't even stand the smell of the new dessert sauce but my DH LOVES it so it's also a winner here.

I made the mango salsa from the catalog last night. I wish they were more exact on how much of each ingredient. For instance 1/3 of a bell pepper could be a huge difference from one to another. We loved it though so I'll be practicing it more to get it "right". I think I'll leave out the Chili Lime Rub thought. Not thrilled with the flavor and IMHO this combination of fruits and veggies don't need any extra seasoning.

I love the mango wedger and the veggie wedger. Both very nice. I do wish the veggie wedger made the wedges a bit smaller though - I guess I should practice the extra cut thing...

The MFP is awesome. I used it for chicken salad (it didn't like chopping the chicken but eventually worked well for that) and for the salsa. Worked great but I ended up making the pieces smaller than I really wanted. Again, practice. I'm going to try mixing the Buffalo Chicken Dip in it and other things. I know we'll love it for Salsa (first thing DH said and he normally doesn't want anything to do with making our own salsa - go figure)! I do the pass around salsa at my shows when I do the Chicken Fajitas but it will now be done in the MFP. I'll still show the Salad Chopper for doing the chicken so it'll just add to the value of items shown and hopefully more sales/bookings.

I've cut oranges, grapefruit, and apples with it, and I cannot see any way to do an extra cut on any of them. It cuts all the way through, and the pieces fall apart. However, I LOVE the way it cuts! We love roasted beets, but they can be so messy, and they stain hands terribly. I'm planning on roasted root veggies for dinner - beets, red potatos, carrots, and onion, and I'll wedge everything except the carrots w/ the new veggie wedger.

If you don't slice all the way through on the first slice I think you should be able to make a 2nd slice. Haven't tried it though.

It's so sharp, and slices so quickly - I wasn't able to stop without going all the way through. I thought about only going half way through, but it was actually easier to just slice the fruit, and then slice those slices w/ a paring knife.

I wonder if you can slice it the "wrong" way - not the way where the handles go down all the way to give yourself a little bit of a stopping point. You would want to go a little further than that point by moving the handles back to their proper spot. This may give you stopping power so you don't force it all the way through. Might have to try it out tonight!

We did shrimp with the Chili lime rub....just drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with the chili lime rub. Put the shrimp on the skewers and cooked on the grill. Only takes 5 minutes on each side. EVERYONE LOVED IT!!!! My family wants it anytime they said.
