Homemade Fresh Rose Petal-Infused Honey

With Mother’s Day and Memorial Day happening this month, there is an abundance of gorgeous flowers at the local markets. I recently came across a stunning pink bouquet of pesticide-free roses and took them home to experiment with rose petal-infused honey, without having actually found a solid recipe for it anywhere on the interwebs.

Mushroom Asparagus Barley ‘Risotto’ with Gouda Goat Cheese Recipe

I came up with this recipe when I had just a few ingredients remaining in my kitchen, and I didn’t feel like going to the grocery store. I wanted a simple, yet delicious, one dish veggie meal… something like risotto, but I didn’t have Arborio rice

Spring Chillin’: Grapefruit Lavender Ice Cream

Indulge this spring in a homemade ice cream recipe that’s low in sugar, dairy-free and full of luscious flavor: Grapefruit Lavender Ice Cream. This heavenly recipe has just a hint of tangy citrus, and a whole lotta floral aroma from the real lavender infusion

Easter’s Perfect Pasta with Peas, Radishes & Lemon Cream

This Easter recipe is just marvelous for brunch, lunch or early dinner. Use spiral-shaped tube pasta for a pretty aesthetic that contrasts beautifully with the shapes of the sliced vegetables and picks up the fresh herb-infused sauce.

Roast Leg of Lamb Recipe for an Organic Easter Feast

Lamb is a common main dish at the Easter dinner table, and it’s important to buy organic if you choose to include lamb in your Easter menu. Lamb is a sheep less than a year old, typically between four and twelve months. In this short time, organic lambs are healthier and often happier; without the use of antibiotics or non-organic feed, lamb is a delicious and healthy meat, the perfect dish for special occasions

Spinach And Artichokes: A Dip with A Heart

The Super Bowl may have come and gone, but that’s no reason to stop working on your arsenal of dip recipes. This vegetable-laden dip is one of my favorites for cocktail parties or hors d’œuvres before dinner. It’s easy to make ahead of time and simply slip under the broiler when your first guests arrive to a perfectly melted cheesy topping.

Quinoa-Chia Energy Bars

One issue I take with energy bars it that they’re often too sweet – not every snack needs to be an over the top candy bar flavor. These extra natural bars are entirely sweetened by fruit, and have no added sugar, no honey, no agave… nothing

Homemade Rustic Whole Wheat Crackers

Hummus, cheese, dips, olives, wine… more wine. What doesn’t a good crunchy cracker go with? Unfortunately, prepackaged crackers at the grocery store can be loaded with sodium, and if you’re buying non-organic brands, they can even contain that baddest-of-ingredients, bad boy high fructose corn syrup, as well as other additives. When you bake crackers at home, you can avoid unnecessary (and unhealthy) ingredients and can create a cracker that’s all your own.
