Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese Frosting
Frosting is optional on these muffins. Without it, they are ideal for breakfast; with it, they become a sweet afternoon snack. Makes 12 muffins
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup solid-pack pumpkin

2 eggs, at room temperature, slightly beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a large bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir in walnuts. In a separate bowl, blend pumpkin, honey, oil, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla until smooth. Pour pumpkin mixture over dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed. Spoon batter into paper lined muffin cups, filling each to just below the rim. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of muffins comes out clean. Let pan cool on rack for 5 minutes. Remove muffins from pan and let cool on rack completely. Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting, if desired. Cream Cheese Frosting: In a small bowl, with electric mixer, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened to room temperature) with 1/3 cup honey, until fluffy.

Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
I make this dressing differently every time I do it. Here is the recipe I use the most. In a jar with a tight lid combine of course I get my balsamic vinegar and olive oil from The Tasteful Olive:
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup honey
1 cup vegetable oil (Olive oil)
1 TBL Penzey’s Italian or Greek dressing spice
I often add sautéed onion, bacon, Italian spices, garlic (fresh or powdered), poppy seed or other seasonings as the mood suits me. This dressing is excellent on spinach salad with strawberries or mandarin oranges
I use a variety of beans and vary it each time I make is so don’t be afraid to be creative. You can even use local corn as one of your “beans”.
Super Bean Salad

1/3 Cup salad oil (Olive Oil from Taste of Olive)
½ Cup honey
¼ tsp. dry mustard
2/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 cup cheese cubes (optional)
Combine vegetables, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Shake salad oil, honey, mustard and red wine vinegar in a covered jar, mixing well. Pour over the vegetables. Chill for several hours or overnight. Sprinkle cheese cubes over all.

Joli’s Sweet Potato Casserole
I usually double this recipe for our family!
3 C. mashed sweet potatoes (2 reg. size cans) drained–I usually cook fresh ones but have made it both ways
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c honey
1/3 C melted butter
2 eggs beaten
1/2 C milk
Mix together, put in greased 8″ square baking dish (if doubling this recipe use a 9”X13” pan or a large casserole dish)
Topping:
1 c. coconut (small can)
1/3 c melted butter
1/3 c flour
1 c brown sugar
1 c chopped pecans
Mix topping together and spread a little at a time over the sweet potato mixture. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes
Honey Cinnamon Apple Sauce
Well I don’t actually have a recipe so—
Cut up apples –you can peel them or not
Start cooking them in a little bit of either apple juice, water or orange juice
When they start to get soft add honey and cinnamon (I like Penzey’s Vietnamese Cinnamon) or you can use cinnamon creamed honey. I just add honey to taste.
Baked Sweet Potato with Honey
We have had several entire dinners of a sweet potato with honey and cinnamon. We have zapped the potatoes in the microwave and added the honey, cinnamon and sometimes a little butter. You can also use our Cinnamon Creamed Honey or our Pecan Creamed Honey
Honey Cinnamon Squash
About the same as with the apples, cook the squash (Acorn or Butternut) and add honey and cinnamon, we add a little butter too. You can also use our Cinnamon Creamed Honey or our Pecan Creamed Honey
Snacks
Really Easy Jalapeno Honey Dip
16 oz. Fat free cream cheese
6 oz. Jalapeno Creamed Honey

Spoon granola mixture into 9-inch, nonstick (or well greased) square pan. Using a piece of wax paper, firmly press granola mixture in pan. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove pan from oven and place on a cooling rack. Cool completely; cut into bars.
Peanut Butter and Honey Sammies
Makes 4 servings
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
8 thick slices whole wheat bread
1 green apple, thinly sliced
2 Tablespoons sunflower seeds, (or substitute your favorite nut)
1 cup peanut butter
In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add honey, vanilla extract and cinnamon; mix well. Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread.

Spread 2 tablespoons peanut butter on each of the remaining 4 slices of bread, and place face down on top of cream cheese and apple
Fruity Oaty Bars
3 cups rolled oats
1 ½ cups spelt flour
½ cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup canola oil
1 cup local honey
½ cup sesame seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried chopped fruit, such as pineapple, apricots, apples, golden raisins, dates, papaya, or a mix
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9” x 13” cake pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, spelt flour, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together orange juice and flax seeds, then mix in the vanilla, oil, and honey until smooth.
Form a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the orange juice mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir to moisten the ingredients, then fold in sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, cranberries and dried fruit. The dough will be very sticky and thick; you may want to fold these last ingredients with your hands.
Use lightly moistened hands to firmly and evenly press the dough into the prepared baking pan. Take care that the dough in the center of the pan is not too thick; press the dough slightly toward the edge of the pan. Bake for 26-28 minutes until the top is golden brown and firm.
Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool. Let it cool for at least 45 minutes, then use a thin, very sharp serrated knife to carefully cut 16 bars. Store the bars in a tightly covered container, or wrap them individually tightly in foil and freeze.
Variations:
Fruity Oaty Coconutty Bars: Add 1 cup unsweetened, grated coconut along with the oats
Orange Kissed Fruity Oaty Bars: For bigger orange flavor, add the finely grated zest of one orange when adding the wet ingredients

Quick BBQ Ideas
Take a large piece of Salmon and cover the top with honey and then sprinkled on chopped pecans. I wrapped it in a double layer of aluminum foil and cooked it on the grill for about 20 minutes or until it was flaky.
Another idea is to take our Pecan Creamed honey and put that on top of fish or chicken and grill.
Sweet Honey BBQ Sauce
(from National Honey Board www.honey.com)
1 cup prepared spicy barbeque sauce
1/4 cup honey
½ teaspoon dry mustard
Breakfast
Becky’s Pancakes
1 ¼ c. rolled oats
2 cups milk
1 egg
½ c whole-wheat flour
¼ c. toasted wheat germ
1 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. honey
2 tsp. canola oil
½ tsp. salt
Combine oats and milk and let stand 10 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients and let stand 30 minutes in the refrigerator (I’ve let this stand overnight in the fridge so it’s ready for the griddle as soon as I wake up.) Fry in on an oiled griddle—as for traditional pancakes. Serve with honey, fruit syrup, or real maple syrup. Recipe from Becky Tipton, Country Creek Honey
Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
2/3 cup ripe banana (about 2 small bananas), well mashed
2 Tablespoons ground flax seeds
¼ cup milk
½ cup canola oil
¾ cup local honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups quick-cooking or rolled oats
1 cup pecans or walnut halves, toasted and coarsely chopped
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine banana, flax seeds, and milk and mix until smooth. Mix in the oil, honey and vanilla. Sift in all-purpose flour, whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt and mix to form a moist batter. Fold in the oats, pecans, and dried cranberries. The dough will be moist yet thick and sticky.
Drop scant ¼ cups of dough about 2 inches apart onto the baking sheets. Spray the inside of the measuring cup with nonstick spray to release the dough from the cup. Use the back of the large measuring cup to press down cookies to about 1 inch thickness.
Bake the cookies for 14-16 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Store loosely covered as these cookies get rather soft if stored tightly covered.
