Sesame Honey Bites & Sesame Molasses Bites
Last week when I posted 5 Lies You’ve Been Told About Calcium, I shared a chart showing the amounts of calcium in foods. Sesame seeds topped the list! So when you eat these, ditch the calcium supplements that day – you won’t need them (hooray for eating food rather than supplements!).
I googled “sesame candy” and came across a recipe that I tweaked enough I can call it my own. I ended up with two recipes since I had both white and black sesame seeds on hand.
I teased those of you on Facebook earlier when I posted photos of the end result (sorry!) – so here are the recipes you have been waiting for! Read the full post here →
Coconut-Orange Macaroons
I had some egg whites to use up after making pudding, so I “whipped up” some coconut macaroons. I took a basic recipe I found online and improvised with healthy sugars and the orange flavoring. They came out great!

Buying Honey when Farmer’s Markets are Closed for the Winter
It would be great to purchase enough local honey during the summer farmers markets to last through the winter, but this doesn’t always happen.
So do you run to the store then? Hmm…
Back in November I shared with you information (When Honey isn’t Honey) I read by Food Safety News stating:
- 100% of drugstore honey had no traces of pollen
- 100% of fast-food and take-out honey had no traces of pollen
- 77% of “big-box” stores such as Wal*Mart had no traces of pollen
- 76% of grocery store honey had no traces of pollen
When Honey isn’t Honey – Make sure you’re buying honey with pollen, not without
Food Safety News shared their tests showing that 76% of store-bought honey isn’t honey after all. Why? The pollen has been removed.
We want pollen in our honey because of the medicinal properties of honey. Remove the pollen, and honey is nothing but pure sugar.
Dozens of organizations, including WHO and the European Commission have ruled that without pollen, honey isn’t honey. There’s no way to tell where honey came from, and if it’s from a safe source or not.
The FDA agrees. They state if honey is ultra-filtered, no pollen remains, and it’s not really honey. But are they checking for pollen? Nope.
Here are the results from Food Safety News’ tests: Read the full post here →

The Benefits of Honey: A Remedy for Sore Throats, Wound Care and More, Part 2
Plagued by worrisome wrinkle? Honey softens and moisturizes for a healthy complexion. Beekeepers’ hands are often noted as being soft and smooth during honey season. To take advantage of honey’s skin softening potential, splash warm water on your face to open the pores. Then apply a thin honey mask, wash it off, and finish with a bit of cold water to the face. Dry skin cells plump up and wrinkles tend to smooth away. Dairy cream, whipped egg white, fresh lemon juice, apple cider vinegar or any fruit juice may be mixed into your honey mask.

The Benefits of Honey: A Remedy for Sore Throats, Wound Care and More, Part 1
Native Americans learned from the animals around them. As they watched a bear walk through swarms of bees, pulled like a magnet to the hive despite being stung many times over, they had to observe the pain the animal endured to get the sticky stuff. When they finally got their own hands on honey, they discovered that it not only tasted great, but it healed their bee stings and other cuts, too. The women used it on their faces. Taken for colds, it soothed sore throats. Given to children in the evening, honey was found to keep many an animal skin dry by morning. Read the full post here →
