The Jewish History of Honey
Israel: a sacred land for Jews, Christians, Islam, Druze and Bahá'í Faith—a land of milk and honey. Honey, a simply delicious golden syrup that is made by bees and devoured by humans. Honey has a very cozy place in my heart. I could eat an entire jar of fresh local honey in a day: on top of toast, in my tea, on yogurt and granola, or on a spoon. It is very often eaten during one specific holiday, Rosh Hashanah. Parents tend to give their kids sweets made with honey: honey cake, honeycomb candy, and Bit-O-Honey, as a treat for the New Year. My family was more traditional and did honey and challah bread dipped in local honey.

Passover Brisket
My grandmother has never been an amazing cook. She hated cooking and always took the easy way out. Microwave “baked” potatoes, instant mashed potatoes, seasoning packets of every variety, her cookies were made from boxed cake mix, and her chicken salad was made with store bought rotisserie chicken. The only two things Alice Meisel ever made from scratch was matzo ball soup and Passover dinner, specifically “The Best Passover Brisket.”

Vegan vs. the Food Industry
I am a vegan. Let me delve deeper into what it really means for me to be a vegan. My ethics, my passion, and my vision for the future lies within my belief or better yet my ethics for equality between all species. In many ways it could be an issue by just the way people tend to lean towards how they treat their foods. Some people believe that it's completely okay to eat unhealthy just because their body “has low metabolism” or “I have a disease” and those people are the people who make excuses, excuses for everything. Your disease nor your metabolism should grant you the right to be lazy and unhealthy, to pack seven bags of chips in your cart and to only put a single fruit like strawberries in just so you can drown it in Hershey's chocolate syrup later. For the people who make excuses that they need their vitamins and protein and that veganism does not supply that for them. There are plenty of vitamins and proteins in foods other than meat, milk, and eggs. To the people who make the excuse “I just can't live without…” people need to learn how to stop making excuses and open their eyes to the truth.

Barista Says He's Not Afraid of Starbucks
With Wittenberg University getting a second Starbucks location inside Thomas library, it’s set in stone that Springfield will have at least four of the coffee shops in town by this time next year. While this news may be exciting to fans of the company—especially to those college students who couldn’t get their Starbucks fix while away at school—it could mean death for small, local shops in the area.

Did Someone Say FOOD?
So as a mom and wife it's my duty to cook. Obviously, that is a preconceived idea but I am okay with the chore of cooking because I enjoy it! I have been quite the chef/baker since childhood. I started cooking family dinners at the age of 12 and I have not stopped. I am 20 now, so for the past 8 years I have cooked and baked and I still love the chore. Although sometimes it can be a real chore when I have had a long day.

More Lists
Alas the infiltration of more plant based products onto shelves is continually more beautiful, minus the packaging and energy required to sustain such comestibles, but hey there's movement and we like movement! Eventually maybe we'll be able to live off the land as nature intended, but until then let's be thankful for food markets of all kinds and shapes. It's all natural and always changing! With that said, let's get into a new list of new vegan helpers as more are being unrolled daily and me likes that!

Healthiest Crock Pot Recipes to Try
One of the hardest ordeals that comes with trying to lose weight is trying to find recipes that are healthy, low-calorie (or low-carb), and filling — without tasting like corrugated cardboard. It's such a struggle, it's unsurprising that many people don't actually believe that healthy food can taste good.
