Honey Lemon and Ricotta pizzaBy JulesCheese and honey are a combination of two foods not often mentioned in the same breath, but there is an undeniably great marriage between the two when paired properly. Soft cheeses like ricotta provide a vegetarian-friendly protein while the honey sweetens the deal with antioxidants and good gut enzymes. You can feel good about making this dish.Honey Banana BreadBy JulesHoney has a lower glycemic index than sugar, making it an excellent sweetener alternative in baking. The addition of honey in this banana bread will make for a denser, more moist loaf, and adds a distinct flavour and aroma notes depending on the type of honey used. (We recommend a nice Albertan clover honey.) Add crushed walnuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or dried fruit if desired.Dog TreatsBy JulesMake rover roll over with these homemade, easy-to-make, natural dog treats. But try to keep your paws off these ones! This four-ingredient fix has oats packed with fiber, and antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits from the honey to keep your dog happy and healthy.
Honey-Soy Glazed SalmonBy JulesThere are few foods for a get-together between family and friends that impress like a well-prepared salmon. Substitute barbecued steaks for this versatile protein that’s packed with omega-3s and is as easy to prepare as it is nutritious. The sweetness of a fireweed honey complimented by the saltiness of the soy sauce and the acidity of the lime creates a perfect harmony of balanced flavours. Serve with roasted asparagus and a good risotto to blow your dinner guests away.Honey Chia PuddingBy JulesThis honey chia pudding is a great and healthy way to start your morning. Chia seeds are loaded with fibre, protein, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, and a clover or canola honey adds a touch of sweetness with the added benefit of additional vitamins and micronutrients that white sugar doesn’t provide. Use a variety of fruits for this dish, don’t limit yourself to just berries. Pears, bananas, or apples also pair excellently. The Bees Knees – Honey Gin CocktailBy JulesThe homemade honey syrup in this easy prohibition-era cocktail gives you the right kind of buzz. The botanical elements of gin combined with the sweet aroma of the honey syrup give this drink a decidedly summer feel. Best enjoyed with friends on a patio.
