Honeyed Pecans
Hello honey! Pecans might be my favorite nut. I suppose it’s got something to do with growing up in Texas where pecan trees are abundant and spending an afternoon shelling pecans is synonymous with canning tomatoes or pickling okra. It’s time consuming but well worth it. A delightful way to spend a fall afternoon! They […]
Without Bees
I have a hunch many of you have seen this or a similar list of the foods we would not find available if we didn’t have bees. I couldn’t help posting it for those of you haven’t seen it or who need a reminder. When discussing bees and what they pollinate, how they are truly […]
Scrumptious Salad
I am truly in countdown mode for Monday night’s Central Market class. Only 2 days until the big event. I have an interesting and I hope engaging format for teaching a bit about bees, honey and the benefits of both. My man, Dan is my head audio visual guy and he’s put together an entertaining […]
Ooey-Gooey Caramel & Chocolate Bars -Revisited

But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” Today I made a Chocolate Pecan Loaf Cake, I’ve got love, but I needed a little chocolate. I am considering submitting a few recipes for a holiday recipe contest sponsored […]
Figs on Friday
Every time I opened my refrigerator in the last couple of days, the bowl of remaining figs I’d purchased at the Sulphur Springs farmers market kept beckoning to me. I didn’t want to allow them to go bad but hadn’t decided what to do with them. It was weighing on my mind. I decided to […]
Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
Today is hot, humid, cloudy, windy and every so often the sun peeks through the grey sky causing it to feel sweltering. Blech! My least favorite type of weather. Here’s the good stuff, it is Friday, I baked Banana Chocolate Chip Bread! A bit of baking time in the kitchen brought a smile to my […]
At It Again
It is May – right? I thought so, however our warm, spring like weather has turned unseasonably cold and wet. Temperatures the last two days have been in the 40’s and that is just not like May in Texas. We desperately needed the rain, the water companies have already mailed out their water rationing dates, […]
