About Iris and Honey

20201107 125313 1 Iris and HoneyHi, I’m Mikaela and welcome to my blog, Iris and Honey!

The recipes on this site focus on seasonal foods and healthy ingredients.  I use fruits, veggies, and herbs from my own garden as well other ingredients from local farms and businesses in Pennsylvania.  I love simple and tasty ingredients and recipes.  One motto I follow is that life is too short to eat bad food and I strive to make every recipe on my blog healthy and delicious.

In addition to recipes, you’ll also find lifestyle posts related to local businesses and my chronic illnesses.

I am Central Pennsylvania born and raised and I never plan on leaving.  Most of my family has been in the area since the late 1700’s, so my ties to this area are strong.  Focusing on what I can grow or purchase locally allows me to connect with those roots.  I am also able to educate myself and my readers on what I eat and where it comes from.

As my blog grows, I look forward to strengthening my relationship with the local community!

If you have a local business and would like to collaborate with Iris and Honey, please contact me!  I’d love to connect with brands that are a good fit for my readers and the community.
