My Dad’s fruit trees are doing a little better this year, and especially one apple variety in particular. He’s got so many apples on this one tree he doesn’t know what to do with them all. He and my mom have been making great apple crisps, so I took some off his hands and did […]
It feels good to juice again! A nice glass of fresh carrot or beet juice always makes my day a little more special. This time I used the leftover pulp in place of the zucchini in a bread recipe I came across. In my opinion, it’s one of the healthier breads I’ve seen. Whole wheat […]
Summer brings an abundance of beautiful fruit, peaches and berries being my fav. Tossed with a little gorgonzola, stuffed into a walnut-date tart and drizzled with honey, these bite sized tarts are a refreshing and tasty treat.

Breakfast is, by far, my favorite meal of the day and I’m constantly searching for ways to switch it up.

Just two days after my first bee-keeping experience, I was able to take part in the processing (or lack thereof) of the honey. It was pretty simple and amazingly delicious. I’ve never tasted honey so good. Once the slats from the hive were removed and were free of bees, we used this comb […]
Plainwell, Michigan: a very small, quiet town near Pine Lake. My parents have a beautiful lake cottage up here at which they spend half the year living. The other half is spent living on the east coast of Florida, near the Indian River and the awesome beaches. They’ve got a great life – one they […]
