Kitchen Notes Back-to-school is almost here, and that means it’s time to find some wholesome lunchbox ideas that are as easy to make as they are tasty. Of course, we adults need healthy options too! And the good news is, these protein-rich bars are a hit with kids and adults alike! Inspired by my affinity for KIND Fruit & Nut Bars, this honey-sweetened, grain-fre …

I'd like to introduce our special guest chef for this recipe, Nathan Donahoe. Nathan originally started creating honey recipes because he couldn't eat his favorite foods (i.e. ice cream and soda) anymore due to an allergy to white sugar. So he created recipes that reminded him of them and discovered that the new recipes were even better! He found out that ot …

Kitchen Notes Honey and beer go together extremely well - so well that this is our third honey beer this year. We've learned a little something from each batch and continue to work on making them tastier each time. For this beer we decided to take things tropical and use our Flavored Mango Honey. Flavored Mango Honey is our regular raw sage honey with light …

Although we are now full swing into spring we are still getting some last minute showers, which will really help our Southern California Wildflowers- making 2012 a great honey year! T …

Kitchen Notes I’m a big fan of chocolate and as a kid I would crave 3 Musketeers bars. It was my go-to candy bar and my weak spot when trading candy on Halloween. When I came across this Raw Honey Chocolate Pudding recipe the ingredients intrigued me and I knew I’d have to try it. Who would ever guess that using avocados as a main ingredient would result in an …

Kitchen Notes Last week's honey salad was about as healthy as a recipe can get. So since we behaved last week I decided to switch gears and make a recipe that is full of flavor and might even be classified as a dessert. This chicken came out incredibly moist, savory and perfectly balanced the honey sweet potatoes. Very easy to make and bo …

Kitchen Notes I have a confession to make: I'm a batter eater. That's right.  Cookie dough, cake mix, brownie mix; you name it- I most often love the raw product better than when it's baked.
