Honey Walnut Shrimp
“I like to serve honey walnut shrimp as a meal on rice along with a vegetable but it’s also great when you serve the shrimp and the dip separately as a snack or appetizer for dipping. Another option that I like is adding some chili sauce for some spicy heat! No matter how you serve honey walnut shrimp you are sure to enjoy it!” - Kevin

“These taste just like the dinner rolls at the Texas Roadhouse Restaurant. They are an awesome dinner roll.” - Kathleen

“Honey Soy Pork Loin is spicy, sweet, and very simple to make. This pork is delicious and tender and will melt in your mouth.” - Paula
Simple Honey Balsamic Grilled Chicken
“Chicken breasts are a healthy summertime dinner but since they are such a lean meat, it’s easy to overcook and dry out the chicken. The key is to marinate the chicken breast. This fantastic honey balsamic marinade that tenderizes the meat and adds tons of flavor.” - Kitchen Crew
Crispy Honey Lemon Cauliflower on Chili and Garlic Stir Fried Zoodles
“Crispy fried cauliflower in a tasty honey and lemon sauce served over a bed of tender zucchini noodles.” - Kevin
Buttermilk Honey Bread
“This is the best loaf bread I have ever made; it goes great with everything. It also makes the best grilled cheese you've ever had.” - Kim
Ancho Chili Glaze
“We tried this Ancho Chili Glaze on salmon and it was a big hit in the Test Kitchen. The sweetness from the honey paired really well with the smokiness from the bacon. The ancho chilies were pretty mild. We can't wait to try this on other meats like chicken and pork. Yummy!” - Kitchen Crew
Honey Cornbread Muffins
“These little cornbread muffins are so sweet, soft, and delicious. They come out perfect every time I make them!!” - Lindsey
Rosemary Dijon Pork Tenderloin
“This is one easy and delicious pork recipe. Tender and juicy, the pork tenderloin is full of flavor. The glaze on top is fantastic. Tangy and sweet, we loved drizzling on the slices of pork. Yummy!” - Kitchen Crew
Bee Sting Chicken Wings
“Oh so garlicky, honey-sweet and spicy! I make up a big batch of this sauce and use it on bone-in wings, boneless wings as a glaze for baked or BBQ'ed chicken and as a glaze for pork as well. And send bottles home with all 3 of my kids! This recipe is really all about the wing sauce!” - Gina
Raspberry Honey Walnut Crescent Rolls
“These little tidbits are a delicious bite of sweet and savory. The nuttiness combined with fruit and cream is sure to be a show-stopper when company comes over. A quick mix in 5 minutes and on the table in 20!” - Cindy
Honey Roasted Carrots
“This is a delicious side dish that's fancy enough to be served at a holiday meal but easy enough to make on a Wednesday. The roasted carrots are sweet and buttery. There is a little bit of salt and a slightly spicy undertone from the cayenne. The cayenne can easily be adjusted, though, to suit your taste buds.” - Kitchen Crew
Honey Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches
“This super easy shredded chicken recipe is great! What I love is the addition of Italian dressing. It gives a little tang to the BBQ sauce. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd. Great for a tailgate, cookout or an easy weeknight meal.” - Kitchen Crew
Honey Baked Ham
“This made my Christmas dinner extra special, and the left-overs are ever better! I'm so glad you posted this recipe, it'll be my go-to from now on.” - Cindy
Cream Cheese and Honey Turnovers
“Oh yum! As you bite into the puff pastry, there's a lovely crunch from the buttery, flaky crust. The honey-vanilla cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy. It has a nice tang from the cream cheese, but the honey adds a hint of sweetness. The sprinkled sugar on top just adds to the sweetness. These are simple, yet delicious.” - Kitchen Crew
Chinese Braised Pork (Crock Pot)
“Wow, this braised pork is a smorgasbord of Asian flavors (like honey, coconut, soy sauce, peanut butter). Braising the pork ahead of slow roasting adds a nice texture to the meat. The roast sops up all the fantastic spices and juices from the braising liquid. Serve with rice and veggies for a wonderful meal.” - Kitchen Crew
Cheddar Jalapeno Cornbread Muffins
“These cheddar jalapeno cornbread muffins are slightly sweet and have a great fluffy texture with bits of corn and cheese. The diced jalapenos give these a bit of a kick but not too much that you can’t enjoy them. These are great to pop in your mouth alone or even with a smear of butter. If you like a little sweetness with your cornbread drizzle a little bit of honey on one, yumm. I usually make these when we have soup, stew, or chili but honestly they are good with anything .” - Debbie
Buttermilk Fried Chicken With Spicy Honey Drizzle
“I think that frying chicken is what God made cast iron skillets for. Also, if you are frying a lot of chicken, you can dip the chicken for frying, place on a large sheet pan and refrigerate overnight to fry the next day. If you are really in a hurry, have two skillets going at one time. But you must be sure the chicken fries long enough to cook through and don't crowd the pieces.” - Mary
Bourbon Honey Glazed Ham
“We love cooking with bourbon when it's combined with something sweet and savory. The glaze becomes thick as it cooks. As it cooled a bit, it becomes even thicker. Bourbon adds a little something to the glaze but does not have a harsh alcohol taste. The flavors of the orange marmalade, bourbon, and honey are perfect in this glaze.” - Kitchen Crew
Almond Crumb Scones With Honey Butter
“Yummy, sweet, a little crunchy, a lot nutty, and perfect with the accompanying honey butter!” - Jessica
