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.

The joining of maple syrup and Spicy Beer Mustard blends the essence of each into a dressing that compliments both an apple/grape and roasted pecan salad  or a lettuce, tomato, cucumber, carrot combination.

Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese

Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese

Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese

Late October, and I feel the chill that brings winter into Nebraska.  Autumn leaves drift from the maple trees into knee high piles.  I like hearing the crunch as I wade through, and my favorite  perfume is a mix of drying leaves from the maples, cherry tree and crab apple.  October scenery is painted in auburn, gold, yellow, rust, and ruby red.  I shake out my navy  blue cable stitched cardigan sweater.

As temperatures cool, I’m baking Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese. I like this recipe for its crunch and rich flavor. I like serving squares of Mac and Cheese versus scoops.  The recipe comes together quickly, and the baking takes only 20-25 minutes. Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese compliments my favorite meats and vegetables, and it stands alone with a slice of melon or a ham sandwich. 

When baking the Sheet Pan Mac and Cheese, bake only to a light browning in the center and a darker crispy roast on the edges.  In my first trial, I over baked, and the product tasted crisp throughout. I prefer a creamy Mac and Cheese in the center of the sheet pan.

Pork Kabobs with Spicy Beer Mustard & Rosemary Baste

Pork Kabobs

Pork Kabobs with Spicy Beer Mustard & Rosemary Baste

October in Nebraska,  and the maples, lindens, red oaks and ash trees celebrate the season in burnt orange, yellow and ruby.  The October sky provides a turquoise back drop. Air is clean and crisp, and we invite friends to a backyard barbecue (or tailgating on game day) to enjoy this brief passage into the winter season. 

We are grilling  tender pork kebabs richly flavored by a Spicy Beer mustard and Rosemary marinade. The cooking is easy, and the over-the-top flavor makes the party deliciously memorable.

I prefer an easy and early prep to free me, the host, when guests arrive. I make the marinade and cut the pork in chunks a day before the barbecue. I pour the marinade and pork in a plastic bag and refrigerate overnight.  The grill will please your guests, and you, the host, will feel at ease and join the fun on this fine October day.

Plum and Honey Fruit Leather

Plum and Honey Fruit Leather

Plum and Honey Fruit Leather

Plump, juicy, ruby red plums call to me from the fruit section in our grocery. Yet I do not respond because I don’t love biting into a plum and feeling sticky plum juice drip down my arm and onto my shirt.  I like their unique sweet/sour flavor, and I have tried to appreciate them but failed until today. 

A recipe for Plum and Honey Fruit Leather arrived from a friend, and the recipe presented an opportunity to experiment with a new method of cooking and hopefully taste the pleasure of plums.

I’ve prepared and made 3 batches of Plum and Honey Fruit Leather, and now it belongs among my treasured recipes. I like the ease of making them – 3 ingredients, 3 steps in the making, and then a long, long slow baking in a 160 Degree oven. The recipe says 6-8 hours. In my experience with the recipe,  the time required to dry out the sticky center portion is more like 10 hours.  Then cut into strips, roll the strips, place in a covered container and they offer a nutritious and all natural snack for weeks to come.

The Plum and Honey Fruit Leather tastes of the red plum’s sweet/sour flavor without the sticky juices dripping down my arm, and following a moment of chew, the leather melts in my mouth.  So good and all natural.

A snack food with fresh plum flavor plus the sweetness of Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey. A nutritious addition to an after school snack and a school lunch box. The recipe comes together easily and always looks and tastes delicious.
Course Snack
Cuisine American
Keyword Buzz Savories Honey,, Easy Cooking, healthy
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 6 hours
Servings 12

Equipment

  • 1 silpat non-stick silicone mat a silpat costs approx. $15 and makes it possible to lift the fruit leather from the cookie sheet with ease. Silpat mats last a lifetime, and I use them to roast tomatoes and onions and peppers in the oven to baking cookies and lately making Plum and Honey Fruit Leather.

What You'll Need:

  • 4 cups plums (8 red plums) remove seeds and chop coarsely
  • 2 Tb Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey
  • 1 Tb fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

How To Prepare:

  • Place chopped plums on a baking sheet and bake at 350 Degrees for 15 minutes or until plums are soft.
  • Add cooked plums, honey, lemon juice and cinnamon to a food processor or blender and process into a smooth puree.
  • Pour onto a silpat lined 12" x 18" cookie sheet that has a raised edge and spread out to ⅛-¼ inch thick.
  • Bake in a 150-170 Degree oven for 6-8 hours until the middle of the leather is no longer sticky. In my experience, the baking process has reached 10 hours. It is no bother to me though because I start and bake 5-6 hours. Then turn off the oven until another convenient time arrives when I may complete the baking.
  • When the plum fruit leather cools, remove from the silpat and cut into ribbons and roll (with wax paper strips between layers of plum leather).
  • Keep in a closed container at room temperature.

My Favorite Chicken Salad

Chicken Salad

My Favorite Chicken Salad Recipe

Ok, I can hear you saying, “Another ‘Best’ Recipe!” And for what and why? My defense begins with my mother, a Master home cook who made and served chicken salad often and always to company during the summer months when garden fresh Nebraska tomatoes were available. Vine ripened tomatoes and chicken salad go together.

Finding the chicken salad recipe of my dreams required lots of time and thought. I sifted through numerous recipes, including my mother’s, and felt defeated because each featured mayo and/or sour cream. I tested yogurt dressings and soy sauce dressings and mayonnaise spiked with herb dressings. None satisfied my palate until I discovered Hard-Boiled Egg Dressing.  See it in this rendition of “Best” Chicken Salad.

Five (5) ingredients in the dressing so it is simple to make, and it meets my standards for “Best” because the flavor takes me to the rich and creamy days of salad dressings like my mother’s yet the ingredients stay on the side of healthy and light.

Buy the chicken already roasted at your local grocery where you will also pick up fresh green and/or crimson seedless grapes and a package of celery. Visit your Farmer’s Market for garden tomatoes and green onions or shallots, and then get to cooking.

Lots of flavor, healthy ingredients and easy!

My Favorite Chicken Salad Recipe

I like this specific chicken salad recipe because it tastes fresh and has a crunch. It has all of the qualities of chicken salad that I like, without the mayonnaise. Most importantly, this chicken salad showcases the flavor of roast chicken. Serve in a sandwich, in a tomato, on lettuce leaf or in a plastic container in a lunch box.
Course Main Course, Salad, Snack
Cuisine American
Prep Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Equipment

  • 1 immersion blender or food processor/blender

What You'll Need:

  • 1 ¾ pound roasted chicken I buy a grocery store roasted chicken and use only the breast meat
  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1 cup crimson seedless and/or green grapes cut in half

Dressing

  • 2 Tb. green onions, chopped or 2 small shallots Use only white parts of the green onion
  • 1 Tb Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 1 hard boiled egg yolk
  • 1 hard boiled egg
  • 2 Tb + 1 tsp Rice vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 Tb freshly squeezed lemi juice (optional)

How To Prepare:

  • Cut the breast meat into ½ inch cubes and place in medium bowl.
  • Add the celery and grapes to the chicken.

Dressing

  • Combine the green onions, mustard, rice vinegar, salt and hard boiled egg and hard boiled egg yolk in the blender or blend with your immersion blender and blend to make a paste then slowly add the olive oil to form an emulsion.
  • Fold the dressing into the chicken mixture. Taste for seasoning. You may like more salt.
  • Slice the top off of a fully ripe tomato, squeeze out the seeds and cut out the membranes, lightly salt and turn over to drain for 20 minutes or more. Fill the tomato with the chicken salad for the flavor combo and the eye appeal. Happy eating.
  • I squeeze a Tb. of fresh lemon juice over the salad before serving (optional)

Notes

Serve icy cold and return leftover to the refrigerator. The chicken salad will keep refrigerated for 1-2 days.

Garden Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette

Tomato Vinaigrette

Garden Fresh Tomato Vinaigrette

Tomatoes, heavy on the vine, are peaking in flavor and feeling plump with fresh tomato juice. How many ways can I serve them to celebrate the abundance of a Nebraska summer?

One method I recently discovered that garnered 5 star reviews and entry into my column of summer favorites is a recipe for Tomato Vinaigrette.  The recipe asks for fresh garden tomatoes because they need to be juicy with a pulp that can be scraped from the skin and into a bowl. 

NOW is the season for Tomato Vinaigrette! 

I eat it with a spoon!  The tomatoes bring a sweetness intensified by a tablespoon of Buzz Savories’ local honey and balanced with a light rice vinegar and 1 teaspoon of Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard.  Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard brings  accents of turmeric and allspice and mustard seeds to the vinaigrette so it dresses the lettuces and vegetables with beads of a unique and delicious flavor.
