October is National Pasta Month, making it the perfect occasion to pull out your favorite pasta pot and bring fresh inspiration to the dinner table.

September is a sweet time of the year. It’s the portal to cooler weather, football season, and the calm before the onslaught of holidays. But did you know it is also the time of year when honeybees take a little rest? Every year, September marks the end of the honey collection season for most beekeepers in the United States, which is why it has been deemed National Honey Month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture since 1989.

In celebration of the busy honeybees and the bounty of nutrition and health benefits they work hard to provide for us, National Honey Month sets out to create awareness and recognize the importance of the benefits of honey as an all-natural, single ingredient. With more than 300 unique varietals that range in color, flavor, and aroma, plus a slew of functional benefits both in and out of the kitchen, there is so much about honey to celebrate.
