Do you remember the first time you made an “upside-down” cake? I recall being apprehensive about flipping the cake onto a platter, worried about a first class kitchen calamity. I mean, really, holding onto a hot cast iron skillet with one hand and a serving plate with the other, timing the flip while not shattering […]
Having just returned from the BlogHerFood’14 conference in Miami Beach and having eaten way more food than any one person should in a few short days I’m trying to get back to the norm. This is not a recipe per-se but a concoction that I eat often for breakfast, lunch or a mid-day snack.
I’ve been into making easy, light and yummy desserts lately. This may be the easiest of all. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia about Mel i Mato: Mató (Catalan pronunciation: [məˈto]) is a Catalan fresh cheese made from cows’ or goats’ milk, with no salt added. It is usually served with honey, as a dessert, called […]
Did you know that the sweet worker bee has two stomachs? One for nectar storage and one for her own digestive purposes. Field bees collect nectar using their proboscis and store it in their “honey stomach”.
I made these sweet little guys to throw on top of a salad but I’m here to tell you they make a delicious snack too. Pecans are one of my favorites and I love them toasted and served with salads. You can top just about any salad with a few toasted nuts for some added […]

I am still enjoying flans and custards as a rich yet light dessert. I’m on a roll with this custard-flan thing! What I love about today’s recipe is the lemon flavor.
I have always been a fan of “flan“. It’s the creaminess that makes me love it so much. Just thinking of the creamy custard rolling around on my tongue and savoring the caramel flavor make my mouth water. Often times while eating out I order it for dessert. I have always been afraid to try making flan at […]
Spring has sprung in North Carolina and along with it temps dropping to freezing last night and predicted for tonight as well. Isn’t this just the way it works? Mother nature doing what she does. None the less we are enjoying spending time outdoors and grilling most of our meals. My local grocery had some […]
As you can see in this photo bees like honey too! If you look closely you will see their little brown proboscis engaged in retrieving honey from the section of this comb that was popped open. With scarcely any exceptions honey will crystallize sooner or later. Many of you are tempted to throw out your […]
