It's HONEY!
Hello, everyone! Welcome to the "Little Thumbs Up" event for March 2016! A big THANK YOU to Zoe and Doreen for the opportunity to host this month's event with the theme HONEY. :)
When we talk about honey, these come to mind: raw honey, processed honey, organic honey, etc. Raw honey has many nutritional benefits: antibacterial and antiseptic, doesn't cause blood sugar to spike, high in antioxidants (dark honey), improves digestion, good for skin, etc. I learn that raw honey should be eaten raw and not in cooking and baking because heat causes honey to lose its nutritional properties.

Why Honey?
Honey is chosen as the theme because it's a very versatile ingredient. I believe most of us stock at least one bottle of honey in our pantry. I have used honey in some recipes on my blog:
- Lemon & Honey Roasted Chicken
- Fruit Salad with Honey-Yogurt Dressing
- Cheddar Corn Bread
- Greek Yogurt Honey Muffins
- Apple, Honey & Yogurt Muffins
- No-Bake Yogurt Cheesecake Pot
- Honey Buttermilk Chia Bread
- Black Sesame, Chia & Flaxmeal Bread
- Cheddar Cheese Pancakes with Honey Butter
- One-cup Pancakes with Blueberries & Cacao Nibs
- Cooked Grapes with Cream
- Passion Fruit & Honey Jelly with Buttermilk Cream Pudding
- Baked Peach with Honey & Star Anise
- Fresh Dragon Fruit & Cranberries Chia Jam
- Smoothies
- Muesli Parfaits
- Berry Granola Yogurt Bowls
