Passionflower has been used as a folk remedy for anxiety for generations, long before Xanax or other prescription options existed. What's interesting is that it's been studied directly against a prescription anti-anxiety medication, with some promising results. I keep it on hand for days when anxiety feels like it's creeping up. 😊

These three-ingredient lemon bars prove you don’t need a long shopping list to make something that tastes sunny, sweet, and completely dessert-worthy. Each square delivers bright lemon flavor with a soft, tender texture and just enough sweetness to balance that citrusy tang. A light dusting of powdered sugar can make the tops look bakery-ready, while the centers stay moist and luscious underneath. They’re the kind of simple lemon treat that tastes especially good chilled, when that fresh citrus flavor becomes even brighter and every little square feels like a cool burst of sweetness.

Fresh from the pan, they have the rustic texture that makes traditional recipes endure.

Learn about an apple variety that is super crisp and firm that I am getting at apple orchards over Honeycrisp this month. It took a long time from when the Crimson Crisp apple was first bred until it was available to be grown commercially. It was first developed in the 1970s by the PRI (Purdue, Rutgers, and Illnois) co-operative. It wasn't until 2006 that the apple was released for growers. That is a long time in the development process. You don't get rich quick by developing a new apple variety!
