Food + Me = Life

What to do when life gives you lots of lemons? Well dust of Granny Newell’s Lemon Honey recipe of course. Tangy sweet lemon honey is perfect spread on toast or crumpets, a tsp. in hot water on a cold winter day?

I layered hot pancakes with lemon honey and served them with unsweetened greek yogurt and almonds, it was utter bliss!
