Honey

Totally love it in tea and oatmeal as well. I also use it as a glaze for oven baked or pan fried fish! Works really well with salmon, along with lemon juice and dill!

Honey is an excellent replacement for sugar in baking.

i have a cup of warm water, honey (1 tsp) and lime (1 small) every morning, a little before my workout. It kick starts the metabolism, warms your body up and makes skin glow.

Also u can use some in plain yogurt for a facial, helps firm the skin

Honey with your morning cereal and milk is good too.

I use it to make my homemade granola (honey, oats, walnuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, cinnamon). Let me know if you want the recipe. We eat it plain, a snack before or after the gym,or with greek yogurt. I like the crunch! Have to be careful to eat in moderation.

The honey doesn't show calories, Low or high? The label is just that of a simple "Fresh Honey"

I have a bottle of fresh and it says 60 cal per TBLS

Honey,
i like to toss it with chopped sweet potato and roast it. Its good like that or roast it until really soft and puree it with some chicken stock for sweet potato soup, you can even add your tumeric to the soup.


Turmeric,
has a peppery, warm and bitter flavor and a mild fragrance slightly reminiscent of orange and ginger, and while it is best known as one of the ingredients used to make curry, it also gives ballpark mustard its bright yellow color.
