Creamy slow cooked great northern beans Great northern beans aren't only delicious, but they are super nutritious. They're high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, and calcium (among others). Plus, these babies are cholesterol free.  If you suffer from flatulence after eating beans, add one carrot or one whole potato to the pot while they're slow cooking. Either of these root vegetables will absorb the gas quite effectively.

Growing honeysuckle and its uses Honeysuckle can be found in a variety of locations and there are around two hundred different varieties of it. The plant has a perennial woody vine and is easy to grow; however, it needs to be pruned often.  I have Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) growing as a privacy fence and also on trellises in my yard. In my honest opinion, I don't believe there's anything that can compare to the sweet subtle fragrance of it.  Besides the fact that it has a beautiful fragrance, Japanese honeysuckle is also used as a medicinal plant. How to grow honeysuckle Honeysuckle prefers to be grown in sunny locations, but the woody vines will do well in partially shaded areas too. The plant also seems to have a heat tolerance, because it grows quite well in the state of Arkansas. The best time to plant honeysuckle is in the spring and fall seasons. It can be grown in planting zones 4-9. Honeysuckle needs to be planted in well-drained soil. My soil is a rich m...

Honeysuckle sun tea Honeysuckle tea is as sweet as honeysuckle on the vine. If you like sweet tea, then you're going to love honeysuckle tea. Today I will be showing you how I make homemade honeysuckle sun tea in a sun jar. For my recipe, I don't add any Splenda or sugar because the honeysuckle is naturally sweet.  This tea takes all day to make, so it's something you should begin making early in the morning. When you pick the blossoms for honeysuckle tea, do so without picking any of the green leaves or stems. The rest of the plant may be toxic to consume. The variety I am using is the yellow and white Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica). Honeysuckle sun tea Ingredients: 3 cups of honeysuckle blossoms 3 ½ cups of hot water 1 sun jar is also needed to make this recipe. However, if you don't have a sun jar, this recipe can be made inside on the stovetop. Just steep the honeysuckle blossoms in the hot water.  The jar that I prefer using for making honeysuckle tea is ...
