I tried and tried to think of a clever title for this post, but clever didn’t seem to be in me today.
So you get “Honey!”
You’re welcome.
Anyhoo, who here uses honey?
I’m a recent convert. I never ate honey when I was growing up unless the rest of the cereal box said “Nut Cheerios” or “Combs”.
But in an effort to clean up my eating, I now use honey as my go-to sweetener.
I add 1 teaspoon of it to my coffee in the morning and 1 tablespoon to my plain Greek yogurt. I make chicken glazes with it. I use it in baking. I accidentally squeeze too much out of that cute little teddy bear so that I can wipe it up with my finger and eat it.
I just feel better eating it. It’s more natural than white sugar which has been processed the heck out of. It’s definitely more natural than artificial sweeteners. And since I use local honey, I have noticed a marked decrease in my seasonal allergies. It’s like an all natural allergy shot.
Is it a wonder sweetener? No. Of course not. It’s still a sweetener and you have to use it in moderation. Is it better than sugar, well…. I think so. But honestly, when I went out to do research for this post, I couldn’t find a whole heck of a lot supporting that claim.
So, very quickly, this post went from a “Here’s why you should eat honey” post to a “I sure do like honey!” post.
So let me open it up to all of you. What do you use as your go to sweetener? Why? Did you hear it was a better option than anything else out there?
The floor is now open for you to help me write a better post discussion.
GO!
