When I shared my Sunshine Popcorn recipe with you yesterday I told you I would be sharing my Homemade Caramel Topping recipe with you today.
This is that post 
I didn’t create this recipe - although it’s so simple, I wonder why it didn’t come to mind. You have Sherry M. to thank for this one…or to want to slap for giving you a sweet tooth

I can tell my readers have a sweet tooth - more of you entered to win this honey than entered to win the Antioxidant Omega-3 Greens
I don’t blame you, though. Quality honey is hard to come by. Some honey is fake!
So if you aren’t the winner, please do yourself a favor and buy this honey. It’s the only honey I buy now.
And the winner is… Continue reading
It’s been almost a year since I last gave away a jar of Tropical Traditions honey - and since it’s on sale this week, I thought it would be a good time to share again just how much I love this honey!
Although local honey is best when you’re looking for allergy relief, we don’t have allergies so are able to enjoy this absolutely delicious honey from our backyard in Canada.
I love the sweet and creamy flavor of this honey. Continue reading
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! Continue reading
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!
Coconut-Orange Macaroons Continue reading
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:
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: Continue reading

Making your own granola is fun - and easy!
Here is how I make mine (I’ve included step-by-step photos). Continue reading
Wheat (Wheat Berries)- Flour will go rancid after a few months; wheat berries store for decades. You will need a wheat grinder to turn these into flour; I’d recommend a hand grinder in case you are without electricity. Continue reading
