Honey. That golden, gooey nectar that not only tastes amazing but is also packed with health benefits. Raw honey is a real game-changer, folks. It’s full of antioxidants, helps with digestion, and can even soothe a sore throat. If you happen to have a regular food market in town with honey from your local beekeeper, it’s your sign to buy local. No food market or no time for it? Here’s a tip; Avoid those bloody store bought and mass processed honey jars. We’ve got plenty of good companies like Go Raw Honey that put quality products out, rather than the crap you buy in shops.
Here’s the question we’ve been asking in a moment of madness: Can you eat honey at every meal? The answer is yes. Should you? Honestly, when it’s so yummy, why shouldn’t you indulge from time to time? Tell those who say you can’t to f*ck off, we say you deserve a honey treat day.
Next up, we’ve got a killer lunch idea – Honey Garlic Chicken. This dish is the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a little bit of a kick. Think Asian goodness with sweet, sticky honey.
If you have a lunch crowd to please, may we suggest our smoked wings and sweet honey mango slaw.
Or as we like to call it
Ah, baklava. This sweet, sticky dessert is a treat that’s been enjoyed for centuries. It’s a perfect afternoon snack to satisfy your sweet tooth and give you a little pick-me-up.
The benefits of baklava go beyond its delightful taste. The nuts provide healthy fats and protein, while the honey offers a natural sweetness without the need for refined sugar. Plus, the antioxidants in honey can help reduce inflammation and boost your immune system. It’s like a little piece of heaven in every bite.
Our latest obsession is using hot honey in alot of our dishes. People ask:
YES- Hot honey is simple to make – 2 or 3 ingredients – natural honey and dried chili peppers and sometimes a touch of hot sauce. Your selection of peppers and the quantity used will determine the flavor and heat level. Some Hot Honey recipes add a touch of hot sauce or apple cider vinegar.
To make Hot honey, you add 1 cup of honey, 2-3 Tbsp of chili flakes, and if desired 1 Tbsp of hot sauce to a small pan- a warm gently until bubbles start appearing at the edge of the pan. (Do not boil.). Turn off the heat and let the chilis infuse into the honey. Use a fine mesh sieve to strain your honey, and put into a jar or storage container.
Calm the F*** DOWN! Its a great recipe – you don’t have to get fancy with making trees.
There you have it – a day full of honey-infused meals that are sure to satisfy your cravings and keep you buzzing with energy. From the fluffy, sweet start with honey pancakes to the savory delight of honey garlic chicken, and finally, the indulgent sweetness of baklava, honey proves that it’s not just a sweetener but a dang versatile and healthy ingredient. So go ahead, embrace the sweetness, and enjoy a honey day.
