Strawberry season isn’t over in North Carolina, yet. It is nearing the end quickly, sadly. Strawberry season lasts for a short period of time and I love to go to the farms and gather or buy already picked fresh berries. The deal is, once you get them home they don’t last long. A couple of […]
Strawberry & Jalapeno Crostini The Perfect Summer Appetizer
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #SpreadTheHeat #CollectiveBias It’s no secret I am crazy about honey….mix it with succulent, juicy strawberries and I’m pretty much in heaven.

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.

Well, I’m just going to start by saying a weekend away does wonders for the soul, relaxes the body, strengthens the bonds, and allows time for reflection. My weekend away with the girls was marvelous. What a superb and interesting group of women I spent my weekend with.
Honey Fruit Dip
Staring at all this fresh, pure, local, and I do mean local, amber-colored, delectable honey sitting on my dining table for the last week inspired me to find a recipe that uses honey. I wanted something simple so I decided on a “dip”. I also found myself with fresh strawberries, blueberries, melons, cherries and some […]

Frosty Berry-Pomegranate Smoothie
