Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

I’m craving something fresh and green and savory and crunchy to celebrate the last of March and the promise of April. I’m yearning vitamins and fresh spring produce, so I turn to a constant in early spring — fresh, baby spinach. Although nowadays you can get it almost anywhere, almost any time of the year, fresh spinach always puts a “spring” in your step.

This Buzz Savories Honey Mustard dressing tastes almost good enough to eat with a spoon and makes a baby spinach salad into a main dish. I think you will enjoy it too. I like to make ahead in a pint jar and refrigerate for a few days before I need it.

Spinach Salad with Honey Mustard Dressing

The recipe calls for cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and a jar of roasted red pepper. If you wish, switch out the roasted red pepper for diced fresh red pepper (something else you can get year-round these days) or add artichoke hearts and your favorite vegetables and protein to customize it for you and your guests. The Buzz Savories Honey Mustard dressing always adds a fresh flavor that vegetables like.

Ham and Swiss Sliders

Ham and Swiss Sliders

Ham and Swiss Cheese Sliders

March is the month when our Nebraska winter grudgingly gives way to spring. Don’t get me wrong, we still have snow in March, but nearly every year, daffodils herald spring with their yellow trumpets glistening in the snow.

This month also marks St. Patrick’s Day, a day to celebrate the Irish in all of us, rejoice in our friendships and retell our timeless stories. And laugh. Don’t forget to laugh.

Of course, I’m thinking of snacks that match the season to bring to the table. I like finger foods that are easy to make, easy to pick up and taste great. I looked at a lot of recipes hoping to find a new centerpiece to my St, Patrick celebration, but nothing I read compared to my favorite — ham and swiss sliders. I like making them and my guests like eating them.

Ham and Swiss Sliders

I still recommend Kim Wood’s recipe for corned beef sliders that we published in 2021, but this year I changed it into zesty ham and Swiss cheese sliders. As the recipe suggests, add sweet and savory to the spicy, tangy, smoky, and salty flavors of the ham and Swiss with crisp fried onions; I sauté thin- sliced onions in butter until they are brown and crisp on the tips. The layers of flavor will have my guests returning for their third helping with chips and pickles. I will make plenty.

Sheet-Pan Barbecue Chicken

Sheet Pan Barbeque Chicken

Sheet Pan Barbeque Chicken

In February, in central Nebraska, we all become crane watchers, because for a month or so, Nebraskans and visitors from across the globe are treated to a world-class migration of sandhill cranes. Sandhill cranes are a large species of North American crane and during their annual migration, they gather in flocks of hundreds of thousands along the Platte River to refuel on corn rubble, loiter in the wet meadows and dance. Serious birders gather in blinds along the river at sunset and sunrise to view them up close, but all Nebraskans appreciate watching long skeins of cranes stitching the morning sky.

Sandhill Cranes - photo by Don Brockmeier

Bird watching is a common pastime for us in the spring, notes Don Brockmeier, a wildlife photographer in south central Nebraska. For a few weeks we are treated to a wide variety of all types of birds as they make their way north through the bottleneck of the American Flyway.

When I return home from an afternoon or early evening of watching cranes or other birds, I want an easy dinner and a satisfying one, so I often turn to Sheet-Pan Barbecue Chicken in my oven! It’s an easy process and almost as easy as chicken on the grill — try it!  I recommend a smaller chicken for this recipe (3 lbs., give or take) because the smaller the chicken, the sooner we eat.

Sheet Pan Barbeque Chicken

The magic of Buzz Savories Honey Mustard proves itself again in this recipe. The savory flavors of chicken, honey, and mustard combine to create a smoky, warm  and spicy  taste — and what can be easier?

I serve this barbecue with roasted potatoes, so the hot oven does a double-duty. A fresh grapefruit and avocado salad (see recipe in the Buzz Savories collection) turns a simple dinner into a feast.

Equipment

  • sheet pan

What You'll Need:

  • 1 2 ½-3 lb. chicken
  • 2 Tbs. Buzz Savories Honey Mustard
  • 1 Tbs. Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 3 Tbs. olive oil for potatoes
  • 2 ½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • 2 tsp pepper
  • 1½ lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, halved
  • 4 sprigs rosemary (optional)
  • ½ cup parsley leaves (chop finely)
  • 1 tsp smoky paprika (optional)

How To Prepare:

  • Place a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 375 Degrees.
  • Cut chicken into the parts you prefer - quarters, halves, wings, legs, thighs.
  • Whisk Honey Mustard, 1 Tbs. Buzz Savories Honey, and 1 Tb. olive oil in a medium bowl to combine.
  • Season the chicken with 1 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Transfer to the bowl with honey mustard and toss to coat. Ideally, marinate the chicken for 3 hours, covered in the refrigerator.
  • Cut potatoes in halves or if you are using whole and large potatoes, cut in cubes then toss in 3 Tbs. olive, 1 tsp. salt and remaining 1/2 tsp. pepper.
  • Pat the chicken lightly with a paper towel to remove excess marinade and transfer to the sheet pan, skin side up. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Arrange potatoes around the edges of the sheet pan, and if moisture accumulates in the pan, pat it with a paper towel to absorb the moisture before the roasting process begins.
  • Arrange rosemary over the potatoes (if using).
  • Sprinkle the chicken with the paprika (if using).
  • Roast until chicken and potatoes are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of chicken registers 155 Degrees. 30-40 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes flip the potatoes so that they may brown on another side.
  • Sprinkle the parsley over the chicken before serving.

Notes

Cut the chicken in the pieces you prefer to serve - halves, quarters, breast/legs/thigh. They all work, and when I cannot find a small chicken, buy the 4-5 lb. chicken. Roasting time is longer.
Do Ahead: Chicken can be marinated 8 hours ahead or overnight. Cover and chill.

Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard

Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard

Use Buzz Savories Honey Mustard to Make a Brighter 2022

Pork Tenderloin with Honey Mustard

Hello to 2022 and to all of you who cook and eat well.

One of the things I like best about Buzz Savories is when our readers create a recipe and share it with me. Kris K., a regular reader, sent a simple and savory recipe for pork tenderloin and says Buzz Savories Honey Mustard makes it “bright.”

Creator Kris says, “I love your products. The honey mustard is unique among similar products in that it’s grainy and has a lot of depth of flavor.”  

The recipe that Kris created satisfied all the Buzz Savories criteria: wholesome and delicious and prepared with basic ingredients and requiring a minimum amount of time to prep, cook and clean-up. We liked it so much we’re featuring it today in the January Buzz Savories newsletter. 

Kris also brings Brussels sprouts and acorn squash into her pork tenderloin menu. She says, “Brussel sprouts and squash add bright color and additional flavor to the plate, and the vegetables roast in the oven with the tenderloin.”

Kris’s tenderloin is prepped in 10 minutes and 25 minutes later, the roast is on the table. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes, then serve. Aside from marvelous flavor in every bite, I like the recipe because I can join the guests and family while the tenderloin and vegetables roast, and soon after the plates are served, I’m sitting in the sacred circle around the table.

Honey Cough Syrup

Honey for a cough

Can Honey Calm a Cough?

Honey Cough Syrup

For all of winter’s wonders, it often brings along colds, flu, viral illnesses and respiratory infections with accompanying sore throats and coughs.

According to an article in the Mayo Clinic December 2021 newsletter, antibiotics won’t work in these situations and for many, over-the-counter medications don’t work that well.

Maybe honey is the answer?  

Mayo Clinic, December 2021 Newsletter prescribes Honey to Calm a Cough reporting, “Honey did a better job of decreasing cough frequency and severity in upper respiratory tract infections such as colds, coughs and flu-like sickness.”

The American College of Chest Physicians also prescribes honey to help relieve acute coughs in children over 12 years old but warns not to give honey to children younger than one, as it can result in infant botulism, a rare but serious condition.

Though honey is mostly fructose, an unprocessed  artisanal honey (BUZZ SAVORIES HONEY) also contains a beneficial mix of amino acids, vitamins, enzymes, minerals, iron, zinc, and antioxidants.

The next time a cough strikes you or someone you love, try this recipe published in the National Honey Board website at  https://honey.com.

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutard

Filet Mignon with Mustard and Mushrooms

Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde - An Elegant Start to 2022

few friends to join me, and we cook the elegant Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde aux Champignons (Filet Mignon with Mushroom and Mustard Sauce).

Buzz Savories’ Spicy Beer Mustard is the textbook accent for the flavors of rich, earthy mushrooms and in the company of a perfectly roasted fillet mignon, the dinner looks — indeed is — fit for royalty.

The fillets need not be large, maybe 4-6 oz., and of course we recommend corn fed Nebraska beef. To simplify the cooking process, I sauté the mushrooms early in the day of the party, then measure all other ingredients and the rest is just executing the plan.

I roast matchsticks of zucchini and/or Brussel sprouts or broccolini in the same hot oven while I’m roasting the fillets. To complete an elegant meal, simply add a crusty baguette and a nice glass of French wine, then welcome the New Year with a toast to health, happiness and prosperity!

Thanks to Andy Anello for introducing me to Filet de Boeuf a’ la Moutarde at aux Champignons at La Valencia, a classic hotel in LaJolla, CA, and to Ina Garten for the original recipe and Jane Anello’s sumptuous adaptation.

Equipment

  • heavy bottomed skillet
  • outdoor grill or indoor oven

What You'll Need:

  • 4 10 ½ oz. each beef filet (2-inch thick)
  • 2 Tbs. canola oil
  • 1½ Tbs. salt
  • 2 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbs. unsalted butter
  • 12 oz. cremini mushrooms, stemmed and sliced thin
  • 2 Tbs. dry sherry

  • ½ cup shallots, minced or the whites of fresh green onions
  • 3 Tbs. Cognac or a good brandy
  • 1¼ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard
  • 2 Tbs. fresh parsley, minced

How To Prepare:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat a large (10-inch) cast-iron skillet or other heavy bottomed skillet over high heat for 5-7 minutes. Pat the filets dry with paper towels and brush all over with the canola oil. Combine the salt and cracked pepper on a small plate and roll the filets on the top, bottom, and sides in the seasoning, pressing lightly to coat.
  • When the skillet is very hot, add the filets and sear evenly on all sides (top, bottom, and sides) for about 2 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the steaks from the skillet to a sheet pan and place in the oven for 8-12 minutes, until the steaks register 120 degrees F on a meat thermometer for medium-rare. Remove from the oven, cover the pan with aluminum foil, and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter in the skillet that you seared the filets. Add the mushrooms and saute for 4-5 minutes, until they release their juices. Stir in the sherry and cook for 10-12 minutes, until the mushrooms are cooked through. Sprinkle with ½ tsp. salt and ⅓ tsp. pepper. Spoon the mushrooms into a small bowl and set aside.
  • Add olive oil to the skillet, then the shallots, and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add brandy and stir to deglaze the skillet, and cook for 2 minutes, until the brandy evaporates and the shallots are tender. Stir in the cream and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened. Stir in the Spicy Beer Mustard and taste for seasonings. If the sauce is too thick, add more cream.
  • Remove the strings from the filets and place on 4 warm dinner plates. Spoon the mustard sauce around the filets. Spoon the mushrooms on top of the filets and sprinkle each place with parsley. Serve hot.

Rice Pudding with a Honey Swirl

Rice Pudding with a Honey Swirl

Rice Pudding with an Artisanal Honey Swirl

Christmas is about traditions, and for some of us, Christmas would not be complete without a family-favorite — rice pudding with fresh fruit and a swirl of Buzz Savories Artisanal Honey. Even if you haven’t spent years or decades making this simple, nourishing rice pudding dessert featuring Arborio rice, perhaps now is the time to start the tradition. 

I especially like it because the fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries or pears (choose the fruits or berries you like best!) add color and a pleasantly sour flavor that balances the sweetness in the rice, and then the swirls of honey add a gentle floral flavor to the entire composition.  Serve it chilled.  Swirl the honey on the fruit at the table and I promise smiles all around.

Cooking the rice requires 45 minutes and then, you’ll have the pleasure and art of arranging the fruit and presenting the finished dish with a drizzle of Buzz Savories Honey.

Rice pudding with fruit and honey is a light, simple and delicious dessert that also makes a delightful holiday breakfast. I thank Epicurious for the original recipe.

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

Simple and Savory Beef Stroganoff

November is a time of year for hearty recipes with a lot of umami. We think this Beef Stroganoff recipe, whether done in the Insta-Pot or in a simple Dutch oven, is a clear winner in the Most Flavor category. You’ll also like it for its one pot simplicity and easy clean-up.

The recipe has its roots in Russia and was first published in a popular Russian cookbook in 1871. Soon after, Beef Stroganoff became a favorite in home kitchens and restaurants, and Russian emigrees traveled to America bringing the recipe with them. We think the sour cream and Buzz Savories Spicy Beer Mustard sauce contribute greatly to the rich and savory flavor. It makes my mouth water just thinking of it.

What’s in your pantry? The versatility of hand-packed, all-natural Buzz Savories mustards earn them a place on your pantry shelf. Sauces, dips, salad dressings, marinade, glazes, spreads — whenever your recipes call for mustard, remember the most savory flavor and all natural ingredients are found at Buzz Savories, right here in Holdrege, Nebraska. If you’re still looking for holiday presents, Buzz Savories Mustards, Artisanal Honey and Beeswax Candles make great gifts.

How To Prepare:

    Place meat back in the pot with accumulated juices.

Dutch Oven instructions for Simple & Savory Beef Stroganoff

  • Brown the meat and then saute' the mushrooms and onions a Dutch Oven. I use a Le Creuset although any heavy bottomed pot will work as well.
    Follow instructions above until you cook the combination of beef, mushrooms, onions, beef broth and meat.
  • I baked my slow-cook recipe at 325 degrees for approximately 1 ½ hours. Bake until the meat is tenderized.
  • Return the Dutch Oven to the stove top. Taste and add more salt if desired. Add the noodles and simmer for approximately 7-8 minutes or until done to your liking.
  • Stir in sour cream and mustard and taste again. Season if desired.
  • Chop the dill and/or parsley and sprinkle over the top and serve.
