One of the best ways to add a little sweetness in your life is with honey! The best part is that you can infuse herbs into your honey for a delicious surprise. Check out my blog here on how to infuse honey with herbs.
For this recipe on Lemon Lavender Honey bars, it’s a classic recipe with a twist to make it Paleo and Gluten Free. I’m of the mind set that we can still enjoy yummy treats on occasion and stay with in the dietary guidelines that keep us feeling well. After all, food is medicine!
