DANDELION SALVE
A lot of people dread seeing dandelions in the Spring as they see them as weeds. I don’t mind seeing the first dandelions pop up, as that means that Spring is here, the bees have yummy nectar and there are so many things that can be done with dandelions.

SKILLET CORNBREAD RECIPE
Cornbread is a personal favourite of mine. Not only is it delicious, it is pretty versatile. You can serve it with all types of meals: with a Mexican style breakfast, with chilli or even as a desert with a sweet jam. Baking cornbread in a skillet gives it a crispy exterior and an amazing rustic presentation. This cornbread is a little sweet and if you add the peppers can have a kick of heat. It is also nice and moist because of the cream corn. Ingredients 1 cup all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon salt1 tablespoon baking powder1/2 cup butter or vegan butter at room temperature2 eggs at room ...
