This stuffed zucchini recipe is simple and delicious – do you have zucchini coming out your ears this summer? Over July 4th my man Dan and I spent the weekend on a 100 acre farm that was close to the Outer Banks in our beautiful state of North Carolina. Coast and agriculture all within an […]
Black-Eyed Pea Polenta Bowl
It’s time I came clean – I have an addiction…to polenta. In particular to what I call a “Polenta Bowl”! I am laughing as I write this. Do you have a food addiction? What’s your addiction? To food specifically – I mean, this is a food blog! I have a terrible sweet tooth too, but lately, […]
European Veggie Soup Puree
European Style Veggie Soup seemed like a tasty edition to my “soft diet”. My body was trying to heal from a bout of diverticulitis yet it was also begging for some vegetables and nutrients. A soft diet is challenging at best when it comes to incorporating nutrients. Seriously one can only eat so many bowls […]
Allergy Bomb Smoothie
My allergy bomb smoothie is a revelation for those of you suffering from seasonal allergies. I am sharing again because allergy season is still here! This time of year I hear multitudes of people complaining about their allergies. I understand! Before I became a beekeeper and was blessed with an ample supply of local honey, […]
Going Vegetarian – Did We Do It?
First of all I want to say this is NOT a paid post nor a review about the film Forks Over Knives! It isn’t even a current flick but my man, Dan and I recently watched it for the first time. Have you seen it? If so you’ll understand what this post is about – if not – […]
Chocolate Avocado Pudding
Oh man – I am so excited about this pudding recipe. Not only is it rich and creamy but it’s made in the blender and then chilled! Super easy with a decadent chocolate flavor. At the spice shop where I log in a few hours a week we sell a type of cocoa called Black […]
Vadouvan Chicken Meatballs Win $500.00
The big game is lurking….I am super excited because the Carolina Panthers are playing in this Super Bowl. Since we moved to North Carolina a little over 2 years ago, I’ve been attempting to turn my man Dan into a Panthers fan. This year I figure he’s finally on board. He was lucky enough to be […]

I couldn’t help myself – making smoothies with my new Nutri Ninja is appreciably effortless. I had to try this Cranberry & Honey Smoothie! I love cranberries and lets face it they are in abundance in the stores right this minute, canned whole, jellied, fresh and frozen. Oh and you know I love honey too! Cranberry […]
Berry & Honey Breakfast
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.
Honey Balsamic Reduction
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. Reduction concentrates the flavors and the thickens the sauce. The syrupy sauce, having a bit of body, drizzles nicely over […]
