Happy Monday - Flowers and Nectar!

Good morning everybody! Dreading to start the week? Feeling down just from reading everybody's statuses on FB complaining and hating Monday? Well... you are at the right place... it's going to be Monday ALL DAY LONG (lol!) So... we can go through it with a happy, thankful, joyful attitude or hating it and complaining about it (making it worse) ... either way we are (hopefully) going to go through it... if we get through another day I guess that's already a reason in itself to be thankful!

Anything good about Monday for you? I've said it many times... for me it's like a new opportunity (each day is, isn't it?) to do things better... but Monday offers us the feeling of a fresh new start! (why so many dieters wait until Monday to begin? Because of that!)

Something I am happy about today... is... well... the flowers on my table! I got them on Friday but they still look gorgeous! they are so bright and ... yellow! It feels like there is a small sun in my dining room!

Something that is making you feel particularly happy today? Share it with us!

And to add some extra sweetness to the day ... let me just ask you a question... have you used Agave Nectar for cooking/baking?

I got a small bottle to try it for the very first time and I am still not sure exactly what to do with it... I know there are instructions in the back of the bottle and  I see that instead of 1 cup of sugar you use 2/3  of a cup of agave nectar in a recipe... but I thought I would ask those who have used it before... which recipes are better with Agave Nectar? and... should I use less liquid to the recipe? I mean... it's a liquid so I am wondering if that affects anything... I know it's healthier (and less caloric) than sugar... so I really want to replace sugar in most of my desserts.... how's the taste? too different?

This is the one I bought:

  Any thoughts? Please share! Have a HAPPY MONDAY!
