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.

Chinese Braised Pork (Crock Pot)

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

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

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

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
