Agave Nectar and a Giveaway

I've used agave nectar over the last year or so, after a dietician told me that it is low on the glycemic index and won't give me a sugar rush, but I've mostly used it to sweeten plain yogurt. On a couple occasions I've used it in chocolate peanut butter rice crispy treats with good results. I love chocolate and peanut butter, but that recipe calls for corn syrup, which always gives me a bad sugar rush. I don't remember having a reaction when I used agave nectar.

My most recent experiment was gluten free granola, sweetened with agave nectar (post to come).

Sheri over at Green & Crunchy is giving away a bottle of Xagave and a recipe book. I'd love to try the recipes and see the difference between Xagave and the brand of agave nectar I've bought in the past. Sure hope I win! Check out her post on Xagave nectar and all the ways she used it. They all sound yummy! Now I need to buy a dehydrator....
