Like chocolate for honey

100% cacao dipped in neem honey

I am loving this honey!

I got this organic wild collected raw honey at trader joes and am loving it!  What i think is most interesting about it is that it primarily comes from the pollination of Neem flowers. So for those of you who know what neem is..... i was first introduced it as a natural pest and mold control for gardening. So it's taste has a mild essence of what neem smells like but it's also really buttery tasting, which is really addicting! But that's not a bad thing, considering honey is a natural antibacterial.  I especially like to dip chips of 100% cacao in it :)

Burger and frites

Turkey burger with sauteed fennel, spring onions, and garlic mixed in the patty.
Topped with mexican hot sauce (another irreplaceable condiment of mine)
White truffle garlic yogurt
Sliced fresh mushrooms
Served on a pan grilled eggplant "bun"
Served in a couple of brussel leaves as a wrapper
With a side of pan fried garlic yam fries

I know how to lunch ;)
But then again i eat lunch at like 3:30 so maybe that's linner ;)

Garlic for dessert

I've always loved garlic but lately i can't get enough.
Is my body trying to protect me against vampires?  ;)
After my meals I always want something more that's garlicy. Garlic on veggies is only a teaser.  I don't really eat bread so i never have any on hand to sop up a quick dipping garlic oil. So i made a variation of garlic rissoto using buckwheat and oats ( i don't really eat rice, it has always upset my stomach). I kinda followed traditional rissotto cooking methods... browning the grains in a bit of olive oil before adding water. I didn't cook as long as these grains cook faster than rice and can actually be eaten raw, and i needed me some garlic fix pronto! I added a little coconut milk, white truffle oil, salt and ALOT of garlic powder ( my addiction had no patience to chop fresh garlic ;)
I topped it off with some whipped unsweetened coconut cream which was a nice creamy touch, kinda like mascaprone cheese. Yum! With vino! Great way to end a meal :)
