Oil & Honey Edition Orange Cinnamon cookies are sweet and cheery little bites. Using wild orange oil and orange zest turns them from a plain little cookie to a zingy little cookie! The cinnamon oil brings warm and spicy flavors and pairs perfectly with the orange. A cookie full of flavor and elevated to deliciousness by the addition of […]
I love fruit crisps. After making this sweet, mixed berry crisp with real vanilla beans, cardamom, cinnamon and a pecan crunch topping I’m certain they rank at the top of my favorites list. I even like the way the juice bubbles up and over the edges. These sweet crisps would make a great non-traditional Valentine’s Day […]
After writing my post about steel cut oats I couldn’t stop thinking about oatmeal cookies. Do you ever have one of those cravings that just will not go away? I didn’t want another type of cookie, no chocolate chip, no shortbread, no brownies either. I was totally and completely craving special oatmeal cookies! So guess […]
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 […]

I mentioned in my last post that I was in the mood for some bread baking. I’d spied this recipe for low-cal Maple-Pecan Sticky Buns in this month’s issue of Southern Living. Feeling a bit adventurous I tackled this recipe before church on Sunday morning.
Only one day until my CM gig. I’ve been thinking about it often. Who will be there? How many questions will I be asked, and about what? Will I be given favorable reviews at the end of class? There are only 6 seats available. I feel good about that! I enjoy speaking before a crowd. […]
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 […]
