Comment on Yogurt by Kane

Ummm I just checked the sugar content of Total 0% fat Greek yoghurt compared to their full fat version; the 0% one only has 0.2g extra sugar in (4g sugar per 100g). Liberté Greek (style) 0% had only 2.8g per 100g.

Other non-Greek (or Greek style) yoghurts do have a lot more sugar in, so I think the important thing is to always check the label.

Personally I tend to only worry about kcal anyway.

I also realise this is an old post so sorry for randomly commenting!

I and my husband are learning to enjoy wines and spirits after many years as non drinkers. I’d like to cook with them too, but how do I know we will like the favors, never having tasted them ?

Most of the common oils, canola included, are treated in all kinds of ways (raised to super-high temperatures, chemically deodorized among others) to arrive at a flavorless, colorless oil. That’s not why I don’t use them, though. :) They tolerate heat just fine. And if you use them for cooking only, it’s not too big a deal. The biggest reason I try to avoid them is that they are high in omega-6 fatty acids. The modern diet gets too much of this kind of fat. When omega-6 and omega-3 are imbalanced, that leads to inflammation in the body, which is bad, especially chronically.

Does this mean we should stop using grape seed oil?

We haven’t used canola oil in ages. I guess that is one for the “not on the list” category?

Oh my. I’m not a huge fan of store-bought coleslaw but homemade is fantastic. I’m happy this one doesn’t have sugar added! Next BBQ, I’m breaking this bad boy out!

This really is the best coleslaw recipe! From now on this will be my go-to caesar dressing. So, so good. I’m going to have to pick up ‘Real Grilling’ to see what other great recipes I’ve been missing out on. Thanks much!
