NECTRESSE Natural No Calorie Sweetener

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NECTRESSE™Sweetener for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have recently recieved a free sample of NECTRESSE, a new no-calorie sweetener from the makers of Splenda, and I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's the only 100% natural sweetener made from fruit; monk fruit, to be exact. I love that it's textured a lot like cane sugar, YET it still blends easily. I would have to say it's one of the best, if not THE best, no-calorie sweeteners available.

Tips for Safe Grilling

Grilling is one of the chores that my husband loves to do. He do the grilling while I do the marinating. When it is grilling time, he makes sure that the grill is clean by handing it to me for cleaning.  Then he starts to light the charcoal, and let it burn until all coals are white on the surface. The charcoal should be ashy enough before before placing the food on the grill.
