Kitchen Notes Last week's honey salad was about as healthy as a recipe can get. So since we behaved last week I decided to switch gears and make a recipe that is full of flavor and might even be classified as a dessert. This chicken came out incredibly moist, savory and perfectly balanced the honey sweet potatoes. Very easy to make and bo …

Kitchen Notes Many of our Cold Packed Honey lovers are also really into raw foods and what better way to spice up a raw salad than with some of our flavorful Habanero Honey.

Kitchen Notes I have a confession to make: I'm a batter eater. That's right.  Cookie dough, cake mix, brownie mix; you name it- I most often love the raw product better than when it's baked.

While this was a hit, my taste testers started to ask what other varieties of honey would taste like brewed in a similar manner. So for this new batch of beer I decided to use a darker variety, …

Kitchen Notes When hunting for amazing honey recipes we look for ones that are sure to be a slam-dunk, five-star review.   This recipe was an exception for me, as I wasn’t sure at all it was going to please my pallet and very nearly didn’t give it the green light.  I'm so glad I gave it a chance, because after having this for dinner last night it has been ad …
