Re:Re: Yeast,Yogurt & Honey & Saccharin

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the tips! I am salivating over the thought of fresh summer veggies!

I had my husband check for saccharin at the grocery store today. He could only

find it in Sweet & Low but it contained dextrose. Are you able to use Sweet &

Low or is saccharin available in another product?? I don't think I could get

tired of the taste of honey but I think I should stop eating it for a while to

try to get the yeast under control....

Thanks,

tomatoes just don't taste like Jersey tomatoes) I cut them in wedges, generously

salted them, poured the yogurt over them and put fresh ground pepper and a

little of my home made ground hot pepper spice. I thought I had died and gone to

heaven! I do the same with cukes. Sometimes I just add salt and pepper and

ground basil and eat it plain like that without veggies.

that is the case, perhaps dripping it into cheese and adding garlic, scallions

and herbs may make it more palatable to you? Sp perhaps exploring a savory

tasting honey may be the route for you rather than a sweetened one? My next

experiment will be to add bleu cheese and spices to make a salad, veggie

dressing/dip.

Hi --

I couldn't find saccharin in the stores ( yes Sweet-N-Low has dextrose and I only use it in an extreme emergency) so I found Necta Sweet on Amazon and also in Canada there is Hermesetas which I found online by googling it--I had had it when I was in Canada years ago and I will probably buy it next. It comes in tablet form, so I crush it if I put it in the yogurt and then stir it in. Obviously in coffee or tea, just drop it in. I also use it in my vinaigrette salad dressings.

I ordered several bottles of the saccharin so I could keep one in my purse.

I just re-read my post and I meant to write a savory tasting yogurt instead of a sweetened one, rather than savory honey.....you caught my drift! I also wanted to tell you I have experimented with different herbs in the yogurt ( it's important to salt it too, to bring out the flavors) and some that I didn't think I would like were really yummy. I have even put legal curry powder and salt in the yogurt and have eaten it just like that. So, have fun and good luck with the yeast.
