Honeyßee

Did you know that sugar (sucrose) is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in every fruit and veggie?

There are so many different kinds of sugar… sanding sugar, raw sugar, confectioners sugar, barbados (muscovado) sugar, brown sugar (light & dark) and liquid sugars. So many choices. But which is the best •Healthiest• to sweeten with?

HONEY

Honey is nature's energy booster! As well as being a great immune system builder. Honey has natural fruit sugars. And it is more effective in keeping blood sugar levels constant then other types of sugar. Honey has antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties that help improve your digestive system and help fight disease. Honey also has anti-carcinogenic (cancer preventing) and anti-tumor properties.

Honey is God's wonder sweetener

It adds more depth of flavor to your confections, instead of straight up sweet! I only use honey and very rarely Agave nectar (another natural sweetener). I have found honey to be best. The Bodamite (my honey) and I use honey because it is natural and much healthier. Also it keeps our blood sugar from spiking, which is something we have to watch.

So, next time you bake a sweet treat, or make sweet tea, trade in the sugar for honey! Organic of course

The conversion for sugar to honey is simple. For every cup of sugar, use 3/4 cup of honey.


Bodalicious Bite •• I have found Agave nectar to work best for taking the edge off spicy chilli and soup. A teaspoon or two will even out the kick of a spicy hot dish nicely. 

(gloo•te•mated)

First, let me introduce myself. My name is Jen, and my nickname is "Jewelamite". I'm sure that seems like an odd nickname. As I said in the About Me, the story behind my nickname is food related. My Honey is allergic to gluten. I am allergic to gluten as well. Somewhere along the line we started saying he was glutemated ( gloo•te•mated)  when he would become lethargic after consuming non gluten-free foods. Then we started calling ourselves the glutemites. Of course, this turned into specific glutamite nicknames for each of us, with some part of our first or last name incorporated. The result was Jewelamite and Bodamite. 

I hope you will join me on my search for new, interesting, gluten-free, organic, delicious food!
