Before Pi Day is over I am sharing an old post with one of my favorite pies. Just could’t bear to miss out on this unique day. Also there is an interesting story about bees. It’s just about that time of year when we will see honey bees buzzing about and pollinating all our favorite […]
With the decline of our precious honeybees the availability of pure, unprocessed honey is becoming limited. Oh yes, jars of golden nectar are evident on the shelves of our local grocery stores, big box stores and even drug stores; some with a remarkably low price tag. The likelihood of an inexpensive bottle of honey being […]
Finding my self settled into our new home here in North Carolina I began to think of finding a very part-time job, preferably revolving around food. I paid a visit to The Savory Spice Shop recently to see what they had to offer. I was quite impressed with the shop and it’s many offerings. My nose […]
The month of November I was chosen by Genie of Bunny Eats Design to host “Our Growing Edge”. It is a round up of recipes sent in by bloggers from around the world. A wonderful way to share and get to know other bloggers, we all have a common interest – do we not? All month I’ll […]
I’ve never made BBQ sauce like this before, but I totally dig making my own sauces, dressings, rubs, mops, etc. I’d opened a can of diced tomatoes and used just a bit so I needed to use up the remainder of the can. After looking at the left over tomatoes every time I opened the refrigerator […]

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 […]
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 […]
