In honor of A.A. Milne’s Birthday today, creator of one the best children stories of all time – Winnie the Pooh – we’re going to celebrate all things honey, since it’s Pooh’s favorite treat after all! Honey is sweet, delicious and a great energy booster.  It helps build the immune system and is a natural remedy for some ailments.  It of course, all tastes fantastic in special desserts!  Pay tribute to Pooh and his creator by testing out this recipe for honey cake.  Like Pooh says, “…And the only reason for making honey is so as I can eat it.” (Recipe from the Daily Green.)
