HONEY, Let It BEE...
I've always known honey to be an "old-time" remedy. Growing up, I didn't see honeycombs, how they show in the movies and commercials. My family rarely used honey or sugar because we have unlimited maple sap in our back and yard. Once we take the maple sap to our country store to sift and pasteurize, the dark brown thick syrup was the sweetener for everything!

Tomato, Say It Isn't So!
I believe vegetables have a bad reputation when we're introduced to them at the dinner table. When we're younger, we grimace our faces and protest eating them. As kids, we believe vegetables are gross, disgusting, unnecessary - you name it!
