Honey Grahams – A Christmas Cookie

Honey Grahams

Honey Grahams - A Christmas Cookie

 Honey Grahams taste crisp, honey sweet, and fresh.  Buzz Savories artisanal honey flavors these wholesome  cookies, and the recipe could not be easier to make and to roll out and bake.   

For special occasions, I blend the 2 ingredient Baker’s frosting then dip the surface of the cookie into the dish of frosting and add the sprinkles for a Holiday vibe.

Honey-grahams make a satisfying and nutritious snack. These cookies  taste delicious with a glass of milk, juice or a cup of coffee.   I think you and your family will like them too.

Honey Grahams - A Christmas Cookie

Honey Grahams taste crisp and sweet with a warm honey flavor. I enjoy making these cookies because of their ease in mixing and roll-out. I can choose to make either crackers or cut-outs or both. Important note: Buzz Savories honey is the primary ingredient of the exceptional Honey Graham cracker/cookie flavor. Make this cookie as delicious and good-for-you as possible by searching for and buying a local honey.

Best Country Pot Roast Seasoned with Spicy Beer Mustard and Horseradish

Best Country Pot Roast Seasoned with Spicy Beer Mustard and Horseradish

Have you ever tried to make sense of a hand written recipe written by a family member?  In this instance, my mother’s recipe for a one-pot dinner that  announced autumn like falling leaves– The Pot Roast! I remember the  fragrance of carrots, potatoes and onions, and chuck -roast  melding together during their long roasting process.
November arrives, and I wanted to share the dining experience of my mother’s pot roast with you for 4 reasons. (1) the flavor and satisfaction of a true comfort food (2) ease of the making and the roasting (3) one pot means simple clean-up (4) leftovers turn into sandwiches or reheat easily.
After my difficulty deciphering mother’s recipe, I needed answers to these questions – What cut of roast? How long does one brown each side? How much liquid goes in the pot? What kind of liquid? How long does it roast? Proper temperature for roasting?
I can hear her saying, “You were often in the kitchen while I was making this roast so why don’t you know the answers to these questions?” I remember helping with the prepping, and my tasks were all-consuming, peeling potatoes and onions and carrots. I missed the seasoning, browning and roasting parts.
My solution for researching recipes is my usual – Ask Ina Garten. The recipe that you will see in the Buzzsavoriesllc.com recipe section for The Best (Betty Best, my mother) Pot Roast with Vegetables is structured like Ina Garten’s pot roast recipe with a Betty Best twist.
Thank you Cousin John Best for suggesting (more than once!) a blend of Spicy Beer Mustard with Horseradish. Ina Garten agrees. Her recipe includes a whole grain mustard (Spicy Beer Mustard) and Horseradish mix to spread on top and bottom of the Chuck Roast before roasting, and this addition to my mother’s recipe really works!

Baklava

Baklava

Hello, and may I introduce you to Lori Reiner, a friend of mine in Holdrege whose reputation for her Holiday pastry – Baklava – grows with every Christmas, and may I add, her Baklava has acquired exceptional value also in the nonprofit world. Lori bakes trays of Baklava for Holiday fund-raising events, and one tray often yields hundreds of dollars for the Cause, a testament for excellence, I think.
She generously agreed to share her recipe and her baking skills with us at Buzz Savories. I “sweetened” my request by offering her several jars of Buzz Savories honey to use in the recipe. The Greek pastry, Baklava provides a test for the quality of the honey because honey is a primary ingredient of this flaky, sweet and delicious pastry.
Because Baklava offers a fabulous flavor experience, I thought the making process must be complicated. Seeing Lori deftly roll out the Phyllo dough (buy it frozen at your grocery store) gave me courage to try the simple recipe (4 ingredients). Besides being interesting and fun to make, my version also looked like a piece of fine art and tasted as sweet and crunchy as Lori’s.
Follow Lori’s easy recipe for Baklava, and with Phyllo pastry, chopped walnuts, Buzz Savories honey and butter, you too will be expert at creating this ancient and marvelous pastry.

Happy baking and eat well,
Betty Anne at Buzz Savories

Chopped Autumn Salad with Honey and Apple Cider Dressing 

Chopped Autumn Salad with Honey and Apple Cider Dressing

Family and Friends, Feast and Football all come together on Thanksgiving Day for us in Holdrege, Nebraska. This year, football owns the day after our Thanksgiving feast – all the better.
I am planning a simple and easy Thanksgiving menu, and I will join the circle of fun and pleasure instead of flitting about last minute in the kitchen. My plan for fine food served with ease and minimal clean-up is doable with the Chopped Autumn Salad and a Honey and Apple Cider Dressing.
The Autumn Salad shouts crisp autumn days and mellow flavors –  Honey Crisp apples, crisp bacon, crunchy pecans, diced red onion, dried cranberries and a bright sweet/sour dressing speak cool days and ruby red leaves drifting under the oak trees.
I prepare the dressing ahead 2 days prior to our feast and combine all components except the apples on the day before the feast day.
Ten or 15 minutes before serving, chop the apple or apples – no need to peel them. Toss all in a large bowl, add the dressing then chop the salad and serve.
The Chopped Autumn Salad is earning 5 stars in my salad retinue because the dressing tastes clean and bright and light and fruity. The chopping task required some thought and a Chef’s knife. Although new skills for me, the chopping is easy and fun to do (can’t go wrong).
I’m learning to prefer a chopped salad because with every bite I taste the variety of ingredients and over-the-top flavors. The extraordinary dressing plays a major role in the salad and due to the chop technique, every bite includes a taste of the dressing. Serving is easy for the diners.

Mildred’s Marvelous Meatloaf 

Mildred’s Marvelous Meatloaf

October and the prairie scenery shifts from vibrant green to a dusty bronze highlighted with brilliant streaks of copper and scarlet. See Photographer, Don Brockmeier’s photo of sumac, a leafy bushy plant growing quietly in the ditches until autumn when green turns to scarlet, and then sumac plays a starring role in the autumn panorama. 

Buzz Savories welcomes autumn and the change of seasons on the prairies with an uncommon recipe for meatloaf – Mildred’s Marvelous Meatloaf.  
I am recalling conversations with Mildred Casey Nelson, the recipe maker and a neighbor and mother of my childhood friends, Clark and Keith. Conversations with Casey, as I knew her, were interesting to me because we spoke of “grown-up” topics like politics and books we were reading. Casey always welcomed me, and her cooking and recipes were among the finest in a neighborhood of Swedish cooks and bakers.
Mildred’s Meatloaf raises the common meatloaf to a succulent entre’. A glaze created by Nebraska’s renown Chef, Bernard Schimmel crowns Mildred’s Meatloaf and adds even more goodness to taste. The recipe for both the meatloaf and the glaze comes together with ease, and leftovers turn into top-notch sandwiches.
I feel honored that her family shared this recipe with Buzz Savories. I thank Mildred-Casey Nelson for this recipe and for her many contributions to our community, our neighborhood and to me.

I wish all Buzz Savories readers and cooks a happy autumn and as always, eat well!

Barbecue and Brats

Barbecue and Brats

It’s September, and I consider September a time for beginnings. The season cools, school begins for many, football, new friends, new shoes, and brats on the barbecue.
The slight chill and beauty of autumn on the Great Plains, and Brats on the Barbecue belong together. As maple, oak, cottonwood and linden tree leaves turn bronze and scarlet, we reconnect with friends at our backyard patio, State Parks picnic grounds, and tailgating before a football game.
Celebrate September with brats on the barbecue, a popular choice for smokey flavor, hearty goodness and easy cooking.
Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard Spread made especially for brats will raise the bar for flavor from common to memorable and easy to make (3 ingredients).
Tip: I like juicy, tender brats. To assure a juicy brat, test for doneness with an instant meat thermometer and roast to 160 Degrees F then pop in a bun and slather on the Spicy Beer Mustard Sauce. Eat well!

Peach & Honey Sorbet

Peach and Honey Sorbet

Peach and Honey Sorbet

Buzz Savories’  Peach & Honey Sorbet, is my way of stretching summer’s flavors and rich bounty into autumn.  Ripe peaches await you in the grocery stores, and if not available, check the frozen fruit section for peaches. This recipe requires slices of frozen peaches as the primary ingredient in the sorbet.
Peach & Honey sorbet is creamy without the cream and lightly sweetened with Buzz Savories local honey.  One taste, and I knew that Buzz Savories honey and peaches were meant for each other – a forever friendship between the bees and the peach trees.
The recipe makes approximately 3 pints of sorbet, and the simple process and healthy product contributes to the pleasure of the making and the delight of the tasting.

Eat well!

The Peak of Pleasure in August – Rustic Tomato Tart

The Peak of Pleasure in August – Rustic Tomato Tart

Summer produce peaks in July and August. I cannot choose between my 2 favorite vegetables
available only in July and August in Nebraska. These months bring
vine-ripened tomatoes and freshly picked Nebraska sweet corn. In the
Buzz Savories Tomato Tart, tomatoes reign, and I taste the flavors of
summer in every bite.

 I make the crust in my food processor although easily processed by hand too. Spicy Beer mustard brings flavor and also protects the crust from becoming soggy. Slice tomatoes, then dust with salt and pepper and dot with ricotta cheese or Mozzarella and bake. Then Join me in experiencing the summer’s Peak of flavor and pleasure. The rustic tomato tart looks as delicious as it tastes, and I always smile while making it because I enjoy the feel of the dough and the folding over process as the dough frames the gorgeous red of the tomatoes.

I thank Chef David Ignasius for the recipe.

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 oz. cold butter (6 Tablespoons)
  • 6 Tb ice water (plus more if necessary)
  • 2 Tb Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 6 oz. whole-milk ricotta or Mozzarella Cheese

How To Prepare:

  • The Crust
  • Mix together the flour, cornmeal, sugar and salt and place in the bowl of food processor or in a large bowl if you are crumbling the butter by hand or with a pastry blender tool
  • Add the butter and blend until the butter/flour mixture is approximately the size of corn kernels - about 6-7 blasts in food processor
  • Add the water and mix until the dough starts to come together. Use your hands to gather the dough and shape it into a disk. If the dough feels too dry to do that, add mor water, 1/2 Tb at a time until you can form it into a disc
  • Wrap th in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour (you may make the dough a day or two ahead of the baking day.)

To make the Tart

  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Unwrap it and, hold the disk of dough perpendicular to the counter, rap the sides of the dough on the counter, turn it as you go to soften the edges which helps them stay together and not get too ragged when you're rolling out the dough
  • On a lightly floured counter or baking canvas, roll the dough out to a 14-inch circle, turning the dough and sprinklig more flour on the counter and the dough to keep it fron sticking as you're rolling
  • Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Preheat the over to 400 Degrees F while you assemble the tart

The Tart

  • Mix 1 tsp olive oil and 2 Tb. of Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard to make a spreading consistency, then brush a layer of mustard on the dough leaving a few inches empty around the perimeter which you will fold over the filling later
  • Slice tomatoes about 1/4 inch thick and layer them in concentric circles, overlapping a little, over the mustard
  • Fold edges of the dough over the tomatoes to make an outer crust
  • Place chunks of ricotta cheese (or Mozzarella) over, and in some places, partially tucked under the tomatoes
  • Bake until the tomatoes are soft and cooked through and the crust is dark golden brown, about 45 minutes. Slide onto a cooling rack and let cool for about ten minutes before serving
