"May 2009 - Well we've tried this now and I have to say, "We really didn't care for it! Oh well, I tried!" The recipe was extremely bland and I'm not quite sure what else I could do to make it taste better. I added a can of drained mandarin oranges segments and that didn't add anything to it. I'll keep looking. ---------- I've been searching for sweet potato salad and I found this on COOKS.com. I wanted to save the recipe for future use since this is my favorite space for saving recipes. I haven't tried this yet, but all the ingredients looked interesting. Once I try the recipe, I will return and rate it."

We have the cutest little grand children. He's a real charmer and a handful! And she's an absolute prescious little princess. No wonder grandparents love them so! I have a great husband who likes to help me cook and clean. <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />  We love to garden and have a huge herb and vegetable garden every year. Wondering what to do with all the eggplant, tomatoes, and zucchini is what led me to Zaar.  My husband and I have a wonderful time cooking together, whether in the kitchen or on our deck. We love to eat and try new food. We just cook and eat it all! <img title="Kiss" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-kiss.gif" border="0" alt="Kiss" />  I love any holiday when my family can come home to visit. For the holidays, we always cook the traditional fare, but add new twists by adding a few new recipes into the menus. It's always interesting to see what they think! I also love cooking for our office parties. You always know it's a hit when they ask for the recipe.  <img title="Wink" src="/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" />
