Wonderful fruit salad dressing, Bergy!! DH, who always says he dosen't like yogurt, loved every mouth full!! Lovely combination of spices and honey, certainly complimented the fruit. I used all fresh fruit, except for the mandarin oranges; red grapes, banana, peach, pear, plums, kiwi, mandarin oranges, the lemon zest and no fat yogurt. Also sprinkled the coconut over, which added a nice little crunch. I was hopping to have some for breaky tomorrow morning, but it's not going to happen, DH keeps going back for more!! Thanks for sharing another great one!!

Truly tasty! I had this for lunch this afternoon. I used a combo of seedless green grapes, peaches and apples. I sprinkled dessicated coconut on top - nice crunch! The combo of the spices is lovely! Plus, it's low cal too - wow! What more can ask for :) Also, I love yogurt and fresh fruits - this is a winner in my books! Thank You, Bergy - Your THE Best! I plan to make this again using a flavoured yogurt, probably, strawberry yogurt:)

Delicious. It tastes like Christmas spices but also fresh from the lemon zest. I used Balkan yogurt, creamed honey, allspice in place of nutmeg in a lesser amount because we do not consume intoxicants, powdered ginger, plus the rest of the ingredients. We had this over recipe#112648 which I recommend without the banana in it. I would make this again the same way.

This was excellent! I used strawberries, blueberries, red and green grapes and Granny Smith apples. I did make a couple of changes due to my inabilities... I ended up with vanilla yogurt since I'd bought it on accident, and since I can't make lemon zest to save my life I tossed the apples with lemon juice instead. It got rave reviews, and everyone wanted the recipe, so it must have worked. I will definitely be making this every time I have fruit salad from now on.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
