Agave nectar is roughly 90% naturally ocurring fructose with the remaining 10% being sucrose. This means that the syrup has a low glycemic index. This can help with the control of diabetes as well as weight loss. (Talk to your dr. about the specifics…we’re not medical people…we’re foodies.)

Okay, I know…you’re trying to figure out what in the world a Gougere (pronounced goo – jhair) is. Of course, the term comes from France, don’t most fancy culinary terms come from France? Basically what it is, is a light as air cheese bread. Pretty simple huh? If you think that’s simple, wait until you make these. I swear…they really are easy to make. And what’s even better, when you serve them people will think you are some kind of culinary genius.

Gardening is not difficult – seriously, it’s not. Plus, if you put some tomatoes in the ground (or a pot) you’ll make lots of friends when you deliver the extras to your neighbors or co-workers.
