You know Fall is in full swing when the air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and you smell pumpkin at every corner. So I couldn't avoid jumping on the pumpkin bandwagon when I needed to bring something to a Sunday brunch with friends. With little time to prepare, I wanted something that was simple (4 ingredients or less!) and quick to make.
This recipe turns ordinary butter into something seasonally delicious with just the simple additions of pumpkin puree and Stakich Enriched Raw Honey. And it couldn't be any easier to make! Spread it on rolls, pancakes, waffles, toast, bagels... the list goes on!
1 c. butter
6 Tbsp. Stakich Cinnamon Enriched Raw Honey
6 Tbsp. pumpkin puree
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Let’s get real about honey bees for a second: These little guys are basically the world’s MVPs. You think they buzz around making honey for your toast? Bees: The Real Foodies’ Wingmen, Here’s the serious bit: When bees start dropping off, it’s a big red flag for the environment. They’re like those canaries in the coal mine—if they’re not okay, odds are, we’re messing something up (pesticides, climate, you know the drill). Saving the bees isn’t just about saving honey; it’s about keeping our own butts.
Bee Pollen vs. Royal Jelly vs. Propolis: There are numerous bee products available, so let’s take a moment to examine the differences between bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis.
Bee products have been revered for thousands of years, trans-culturally, for nourishment, healing, and well-being. Today, they are being rediscovered as natural superfoods. Three of the most popular treasures of the hive are bee pollen, royal jelly, and propolis. They’re often combined, but each is also quite distinct in its origins, components and health benefits. Appreciating these differences can help you make the most of what nature’s hardest workers offer.
Royal jelly is the royal bee food and a super nutrient-rich substance and to keep its health benefits intact it needs to be stored properly.
Knowing how to store it properly is essential to maintaining its potency. Whether you're using fresh royal jelly, freeze-dried royal jelly powder, or capsules, you need to be aware of their shelf life and best practices
