I’ve recently been thinking about honey on a daily basis. My choice to post recipes using honey this year has much to do with my obsession of honey and it’s uses. I’ve a couple of thoughtful friends who consistently send me links to articles touting the benefits of honey, recipes and its many uses. Often […]
I am beside myself intoxicated with this recipe. Honey alone is intoxicating, yet blending it with white balsamic and fennel pollen transforms it to an intoxicatingly, heavenly sauce that I drizzled over roasted red beets.

I had plans to make a healthy sauce using carrots and oranges, for some beautiful salmon filets I bought at the Fresh market on Saturday. Fresh Market has become, possibly, my favorite place to shop in Greensboro but I can only allow myself a trip there about every two weeks. It’s small and full of gourmet […]

This cake is without a doubt the cutest cake I’ve ever made. I’ve taken my sweet time baking in this adorable pan that Miss T gave me at Christmas. Time has been eaten up with my job, traveling and general day-to-day “stuff”.
