Honey Balsamic Sprouts – a perfect side
Balsamic + Honey + Sprouts have NEVER been better… and trust me I KNOW! Surprisingly Simple Sprouts It is no surprise that I am a big fan of brussels sprouts, but these sprouts in particular are a favorite. Even better, they are really simple to make. First you start with simply roasting them with a little olive oil and seasoning. Then as soon as they are cooked you drizzle them with a balsamic reduction and honey… and voila, they are DONE! I told you super simple. A little honey sweet… just a little I know sometimes when you use honey as a drizzle it can be over powering, but not…

I don’t know about y’all but I am ready for a little Fiesta. This Fiesta Chicken is a party in your mouth!! The good news about this meal is it seems quite indulgent but it really is quite healthy….now thats a win! It’s just so pretty I love it when food comes out looking pretty, I really do think it makes it taste better. Have you ever thought about it? If something looks good…it just seems to taste good (unless it has bananas in it). For this dish the pretty not only comes from the salsa on top but also the browned chicken…it really gets some great color on it…

bring on the honey…and lots of it
It is no secret that I love to bake…I mean I really love cooking in general but baking is just so fun! Recently I have been looking for some ways to have all my yummy baked goodies but maybe with a little less sugar. Honey is the answer and it is so YUMMY! It is all about the sweet… My favorite way to replace traditional granulated sugar is with honey. It is sweet and way better for you in the long run. Now that sounds like a win win. Local is my favorite My favorite honey is local. I love finding different vendors at the local farmers markets.…

no oven space needed for this ham
Easter is this weekend and that means it is time to start planning the menu and trust me this ham is a must have for your Easter get together. I don’t know about your family but Easter always mean ham to us. We used to buy it from that Honey Baked place and it was crusted with this delicious sweet crust and as delicious, but also expensive so this Easter I decided to try to fix one myself. No oven needed There are tons of ways to fix a ham. Some recipes call for maple syrup, some for pineapple slices, or pineapple juice, while other just have a spice rub…for me I…

carrots…ok maybe I can like them
I have a love hate relationship with carrots. I like them in things such as soups or casseroles but I am not a huge fan of them on their own, that is until now. I decided it was time to create a carrot recipe that I would love and what a better time than Easter to fall in love with these cute little veggies. Carrots, Carrots and Carrots The first choice was to decide between the long beautiful ones or the cute little baby ones, and to help save on time (& some mess) I went with the cute baby version. OK now that I knew which carrots I was going to…

frozen has never been so fancy
Not too long ago I was in the middle of a crazy week and The Hubby wanted to grill. I always loves it when he grills but I didn’t have any sides for the burgers. And then I looked in the freezer and saw the answer…frozen fries. Now it’s time to make them fancy Me being me I can’t just bake them as directed on the package, I have to fancy them up a bit. So how do you make frozen fries fancy, you ask? It really is quite simple…just a few shakes here and there and there you go…Fancy Fries. First spread them out onto a baking sheet and…

honey butter corny, corn, corn
It is summer and that means it is time for CORN! It doesn’t matter how… I don’t know about your family but my family eats corn anyway we can. We love boiled corn, corn on the corn, kernel corn, creamed corn and of course popcorn…but my favorite is grilled corn for sure. Grilling makes it even better… Grilling corn on its own, without anything special is amazing…but when you add in some honey butter it becomes even better. I also love how easy grilling corn is. You can throw it on when you put your protein on and it will be done in no time, and you don’t have to heat…

cornbread that is super cute and sweet
Cornbread is one of those things that I have 1000 recipes for (kinda like brownies) but I just can’t get enough of them. Each one is just a little different, making each one super special in its own right. Over time I have tried so many recipes, some with buttermilk, some without, some with cheese, some without but our favorites is always the ones with honey…we love us some sweet cornbread. We have also determined that we love cornbreads made like muffins…I mean it is just cute to have little cornbread muffins on the table, but this recipe would work great baked in a skillet or in a pan. For this latest…
