Can I have some Honey, Honey??

That is a common phrase in our home. We do own a bag of organic sugar however, it has been in the pantry for months and I am stocking up on honey from Costco every other week. Honey is not a perfect food, it is high on the glyemic index and it has more calories than sugar, however it does have some health benefits, as sugar has close to none.

Honey:
Natures Energy booster
Great immunity builder
Honey is Anti-cancer
A natural remedy for many ailments

You can substitue honey for sugar in any recipe. You will need to use less of it, as it is sweeter and lessen the amount of the other liquids and reduce the cooking temperature. It makes cakes, cookies and treats more moist and delicious.

My kids also love honey:
On toast in stead of sugar filled jelly or jam
On waffles or pancakes in stead of artificially flavored syryps
On cereal and oatmeal
