Today is the first day of spring 2014! Hurray! In honor of this most important day I thought I needed to share this adorable and delicious cake recipe with you once again. It fits the bill for a recipe using honey and it says “spring” like nobody’s business. This cake is without a doubt the […]
I admit this post may cause me to look a bit lazy. I did not take these photos nor create the recipes. I did borrow the photos and recipes from my March issue of Southern Living magazine. Let me defend myself – I am not lazy, but once again dinner was served long after the […]
I recently posted a recipe using a whole chicken seasoned with honey, ginger & garlic . I really like the ease of roasting the bird in its entirety. I really don’t like the part when dinner is over and there is meat to be pulled away from the carcass and bones. I guess I don’t […]
Honey has been known for it’s healing benefits for thousands of years. Ancient Greeks, Egyptians and Mayans used it and in recent years it’s medicinal value has been confirmed as research demonstrates that the enzymes in honey do indeed have antiseptic and antibacterial properties. Honey absorbs moisture and discourages the growth of bacteria and other […]
I recently traveled to Rhode Island and New Hampshire for a week of fun with a girlfriend. We ate, drank, shopped, skied, drank more, watched chick flicks, ate more, shopped more and slept enough.

I love Southern Living magazine. During the move I missed receiving a few copies and looked with urgency daily for one to appear in my mail box. I finally received the February issue closely followed by the March issue. As fired up as I was to get a copy when the February issue came I […]
Honey is a precious commodity to me. I am selfish in choosing who will or won’t be the lucky recipient of the honey my bees make. If I know a person is honestly interested in the well-being of bees and truly enjoys a spoonful of the liquid golden elixir I am happy to sell or give […]
One of the cool things about picking up and moving across the country is the adventure of meeting new people. We live in a neighborhood now, totally unlike our home in Texas, which was “out” in the country. We made a conscious decision to live in a neighborhood where we would be forced to meet […]
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.
