Bread and Honey – Perfectly Paired

Categories: Side Dish.

Squidoo ChefmastersWhen I found Best Bread Recipes With Honey on my Squidoo search today it reminded me of the times my husband gets domesticate and whips up the best breads. Those times my honey makes bread are deliciously wonderful. Rarely does a loaf get a chance to cool before the bread knife gets pulled out and we are slicing off a piece our three to drizzle with a bit of butter.

To have all these recipes on hand that combine bread and honey – that my honey is sure to try – makes me a very happy woman indeed. I’ll be dropping my hint for him to try the Honey Lemon Loaf Recipe first! What one or two are you going to try?

Squidoo ChefmastersOh yeah baby! Homemade pickles are the best ever – toss in that they come from grandmas tried and true recipes steeped in 100 plus years of history just makes them that more delicious and treasured.

Recipes: Hunt for Pickles and Relishes is our jewel for today. Especially intriguing is the recipe for Lime Pickles. Just makes me pucker thinking about the sweet and sour taste I imagine these pickles impart. Are you drooling too? ;)

Goody, Goody Gumdrops

Like I even need to think of or want candy after the Jelly Belly Beans I got for Easter. Actually just coming off one of the biggest sugar highs I’ve had in a long time ;)

A virtual want right now is not the same as making and  eating these Homemade Gumdrops. Never even thought of making homemade gumdrops. As I reviewed the recipe and tips I discovered that it’s not that hard to do either. What fun this would be!

With less than 5 ingredients you could easily make any flavor and or color. Mine would have to be green with spearmint. How about you?

Coloring Easter Eggs

I take an egg
All shiny white
And then I dip
It out of sight.

I leave it there
Within the cup
Then after a minute
I pick it up.

And oh!
It’s a lovely
Shade of green!
The prettiest Easter egg
I’ve ever seen.

It sure is chilly here today. ‘Round about 6am we even had huge snowflakes mixed in with the rain! Brr. Well it’s time for soup today and my favorite of all time is one that my mom has made forever – My Mom’s Minestrone Soup. It’s always filling, warms you up inside and sticks to your ribs.

The main ingredients are vegetables, however it is easy to add your own meat favorites to compliment the soup. One of my faves is sauteed bacon which gives the soup a smoky flavor. If you want to keep it totally as is this recipe is vegetarian and very low cal.

What would you add to this minestrone soup recipe?

Squidoo ChefmastersI had to wake myself up this morning and what better way than to look for and discover yummy recipes on Squidoo. And you betcha’ I found the most spectacular one for a beautiful, bluesy breakfast – Blueberry Pancakes!

Packed with antioxidants, blueberries are very good for you – fuel you for the day. Toss in a little carb fuel and you are good to go for sure.

From start to end this lens is filled with lots of great information and recipes. I just have to try the spotlight recipe from Bobby Flay – Lemon Blueberry Ricotta Buttermilk Pancakes! Now that is a mouthful already ;) By the way, do you know which month we nationally celebrate blueberries? Hint: You’ll find out when you visit the lens.
