10 Ways to Enjoy Honey Every Day
By Bob Weeks, Co-Owner of Weeks Honeybees
I wanted to share these ways I personally add honey into my everyday diet....
​
-
Cereal. I have consumed at least one bowl of cereal daily for most of my life. Years ago I switched from sugar on my Cheerios and Wheaties to honey. Why? Here are a few reasons: 1) Honey just tasted better; 2) Honey didn’t settle to the bottom of the bowl like sugar; 3) Honey is healthier than sugar; 4) Honey is a local industry. Every community has local beekeepers – when was the last time your neighbor was a sugar producer?
-
Tea. No need to say much here. Honey and tea just go together, whether as a remedy for colds or a soothing break from a stressful day.
-
Peanut Butter Sandwiches. It turns out, Elvis was right. Honey, bananas, bacon, and peanut butter between a couple of pieces of bread. What could be better?
-
On a spoon. Yes, licking the honey off a spoon isn’t just for children; it’s for smart adults with allergies or just a spur of the moment hankering to enjoy some of nature’s liquid gold.
-
Eggs. Yes, I love to mix some honey in with my scrambled eggs (laid by our backyard hens)!
-
Bread. No dessert to be found? Just take a piece of bread, drizzle some honey on it, fold it and consume it. A simple, easy way to satisfy a craving.
-
Biscuits. OK, I know you’re saying biscuits are also bread, but I can’t resist. A hot southern-style biscuit (thank you Grandma Stone) soaked in hot butter and topped with honey is almost heaven. I eat mine with a fork!
-
Ice Cream. Did you know that ice cream melts slower when topped with honey? And it certainly tastes better!
-
Fruits. Honey improves strawberries, blueberries, and just about any berry you can think of. And honey with beaches in milk is a combination I’ve enjoyed since I was a little boy.
-
Nuts. Drizzle honey on your favorite nuts and bake. A great way to bring a little bit of sweetness to a salty treat.
