Is it just me, or do lily stalks look like huge weeds? I've never paid much attention to them before, but I got some bulbs on clearance a few years back and tossed them in my flower beds in front of my house and said, "Let's see what happens here." I probably should have done some research first because I didn't realize how big the stems grew. Mine are currently standing at over 5 feet tall and Jason has been itching to rip them out because they've been quite an eyesore for the past few months. Alas, this week they finally bloomed and boy are they gorgeous! And they smell amazing, too! Every time I walk off my porch I get a huge whiff of their aroma and it gives me total tropical vibes. That made them the inspiration for selecting this week's featured Golden Blossom Honey recipe, a delicious Tropical Coconut Cream Pie! 

 

If you're still in pandemic mode (as most of us are) and haven't been able to book that tropical getaway, I'd say this pie is the next best thing. It has all of those island flavors that will have you dreaming of hammocks between palm trees swaying on the beach. If you're not into experimenting in your flower beds like I did, (once the blooms all die off I will be relocating my lilies to a better location in my yard), that's okay. I'd encourage you to experiment with this recipe though. If you want to be a bit extra, throw some chopped maraschino cherries into the mix, or swap out the mango and use pineapple instead. Play around with your favorite tropical fruits and see what you like best.
