I love honey. Like, I really love honey, a maybe-I’ll-stop-after-3-spoonful’s-straight-from-the-jar kind of love. It’s light sweetness is perfect for sweet and savory foods which make it a chef’s best friend. Here are a few of my favorite dishes with honey in them. Hopefully you’ll find something you like enough to make for your honey(aren’t I a hoot?).
Roasted Squash With Caramelized Onions and Craisins
Hot Honey Asian Chicken Marinade
Speaking of honey…
It’s the 2nd ingredient and only sweetener in Perfect Foods Bars, and there’s still 2 more days to enter the giveaway, so go do so if you haven’t!
Love honey as well!! Such a versatile ingredient.
I’m not sure I could ever eat spoonfuls of honey, but it’s a great ingredient. My mom used to make a hot honey mustard that was just totally fantastic!
Sometimes, I go into my pantry and eat a few spoonfuls of honey standing over the kitchen sink. Somehow, I always get it on my face and clothes, but it’s worth it. So dang good.
i love honey
try manuka honey. worth every penny$$ i promise. truly amazing. and if you buy it from wf’s and dont like it, return it. seriously. but you will love it!
I’m the same way with honey, I go through a jar every other week! which is kinda crazy considering I eat it alone and also eat tons of other sweeteners..oh well! but the roasted squash w/ onions and craisins looks GREAT, can’t wait to try it! same goes with the perfect foods bar..i’m really anxiously hoping I’ll win! 😉
I’m with you. I really like my homemade granola bars and that’s the second ingredient in them too.
YUM! here in New Zealand there is a special type of honey called “manuka” I actually don’t know why it’s special/different than American honey. must do some research!
Evan, have you ever tried Leatherwood honey? If not, you need to track it down – so rich and complex and unique in flavour! Though actually, I think it’s only made in Tasmania, so you may have to come visit Australia 😉
Mmm yess honey is indeed a magical food. I love it on toast, in oatmeal, in yogurt, in baked goods, as a small supporting actor in dressings and sauces, and of course – straight out of the jar.
Have you seen on the side of the mass pike at the rest stops they have farmer’s markets? Well if you go to any of them there is a company selling honey. It is seriously the best honey I’ve ever tasted. I could not stop trying and buying it (to the tune of $70) and it’s all gone but I have a birthday in 2 weeks and if the hubs loves me…
The color and flavor of the honey matter. The darker honey is stronger and more robust. The lighter honeys are more delicate and sweeter in flavor.
I love these recipes but nothing beats honey on toast for breakfast!
