  1. This was just wonderful! I halved the recipe but it was plenty since I'm the only one who would eat it due to the dates and almonds. I used it for fruit but I am going to put some on my bagel tomorrow. Delish! Made for ZWT4 for the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.
     
  2. Yum! I used neufchatel cheese(1/3 less fat). No almond extract(I was sure I had some!). Loved it! Thanks Mandy! Made for ZWT4-Fancy Feinschmeckers!
     
  3. This was SO good!!! WOW!!! I just made a small amount for myself, so I didn't even measure anything. Just stirred everything together, and didn't need any milk added. Really, really good!!! Thanks so much! Made for the ZWT4
     
  4. Enjoyed with apple slices today - I didn't use the milk as I liked the consistency without it. I used almond extract and I thought the flavors went together quite nicely, although I felt it could have been a little sweeter, maybe I would add a touch of honey or splenda next time. The crunch of the sliced almonds was especially good! Made for ZWT4.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa. Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks. As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
