Salted Honey is rocking your taste buds!!

Bushwick Kitchen is changing the game when it come to honey... Salted Honey... Yes you read that... Not salted caramel but salted honey! I love honey and will use it in almost anything, from cooking and baking down to my tea and topping on food. But Salted Honey really changes the game. It brings  out flavors in foods you did not think could have that kind of flavor. Add it while you are frying up chicken with a bit of lime juice or drizzle it on your toast and I promise you will not regret it! 

So I did a few different things with this honey and I wanted to share each one with you. 

So for breakfast I love eggs, toast and Sausage. I am not huge jam or jelly fan so I usually opt for honey. Simple Buttered toast drizzled with honey will change your breakfast on so many levels! 

 In an attempt to eat a bit healthier I opted for a lunch of chicken wrap and greek yogurt, mixed with honey and granola! This is a different spin on plain yogurt. Instead of the normal sugar packet I put in the yogurt, it gives it just the right mix of salty and sweet. 

With Saving the best for last an Apple Puff Pastry dessert for the best flavor event!!

Candlewick Press in the month of may

Candlewick Press has sent me a new batch of books for all of my kiddos to check out! As per normal we were captivated with all of them! From Waiting for Chicken Smith to The Good Son!

Below you will find our thoughts and the basic run down of each book!


Lets start with Sea Glass Summer and The Good Son.

The Good Son 

The Good Son is not a book for kids under a certain age. It has subjects such as imprisonment, war and death. While the pictures are of miniatures it is still fairly graphic.

The Good Son takes place at Christmas time in 1914, a french soldier went home for a few days to spend Christmas with his mom, and now he is facing the death penalty for leaving his command. This books is good for helping kids to understand the harsh realities of war in a simple way. However I really recommend this book for a much older generation. This is not a book that will be kept amid my sons book collection! 

Sea Glass Summer

Sea Glass Summer is about a young boy who is spending the summer with his grandmother and as he searches the beach for seashells and unique items he finds pieces of Sea Glass. As Thomas drifts off to dream land he dreams of what the piece of Sea Glass's Story might be!

This one my son did not have much of an interest in, however my middle daughter was captivated by it and it left her wanting to search for a piece of sea glass of her own and wonder what story it might tell!

Bears Book

Bear finds himself needing a new story to read. So what better idea than to write his own story! Stumped by writers block he thinks and thinks, he does everything in his power to try and clear up his writers block. Only to find he still feels like he has no story of great adventure. Then he strikes upon inspiration and finds himself unable to stop writing. Finally he has a story! This book even includes a copy of bears Book! This one is great for toddlers and those learning to read! A must!

How To Take Care of Your Dinosaur

This book has a cute twist on how to care for your pet, by caring for your new dinosaur! My son loved this one as he loves Dinosaurs! If you are looking to add a new pet to the family I would recommend this as a book for your little ones too!


Waiting for Chicken Smith

While waiting for his vacation friend, the one he has seen year after year, he finds himself on an adventure with his sister. This book is a good one because even while you are waiting for one thing you never know what can happen! So keep your mind open and the possibilities are endless!


You can find all of these great books at Barnes and Noble
