Whole Foods and I have a love hate relationship; I hate how expensive they can be, but there are certain products there that I cannot live without! Come with me on a journey through whole foods as we explore some amazing products that are worth the money. *Note: Keep in mind that every area has different products stocked and some of the products listed below might note be in the store nearest to you.*
I love cooking and baking, and I try to do so with the best quality ingredients I can afford. For everything I can’t make myself, like chocolate, I try to find products that have the same quality, even if I have to make them an occasional treat. So here are all of the refined food items I like and recommend, mostly for the taste, sometimes for their health benefits or both.

When I was growing up, my family had an Italian prune plum tree in the backyard, which multiplied fruitfully every summer. Some summers it gave so much that we couldn't eat or give away the bounty fast enough. So, fueled by equal parts desperation and inspiration, we started canning – an adventure that continued for many summers until the tree finally gave up the ghost. Fast forward many more years, and this time my next brush with canning included more fruits and vegetables. Here are some of my favorite recipes, nods to canning equipment and essentials, and a few designs that pay homage to the humble art of canning and jamming (for good measure). ;)Note: This list may contain affiliate links, which means that I may receive a commission (at no extra charge to you) if you make a purchase using these links.
