I just use it in cooking. Sometimes I mix it with a little softened butter to put on biscuits. I like to make copycat Outback honey mustard dip. I also like this sesame cilantro chicken recipe.

Baked goods, granola bars, marinades, salad dressings, smoothies, and it makes a great face scrub (especially for blackheads.)

I put a little in tea sometimes, especially if I'm sick ... then I add both honey and lemon. Very comforting. Sometimes I spread it on toast or drizzle it on oatmeal. I haven't used it in recipes to speak of, but I would if I saw one I liked. I've heard that if you take half a teaspoon of LOCAL (meaning it comes from within 20 miles of your home) honey daily, it will help with allergies/hay fever. I did buy some local honey but I haven't gotten desperate enough yet to remember to follow through.

I have recently become addicted to fresh white bread, butter and honey for breakfast.
Or the favourite kids party food - Honey Joys!
Or of course on crumpets.

Just thought of another one.... we had a low fat low cal meal the other night - Teriyaki Chicken & Vegie stir fry. The marinade for the chicken was made from soy sauce, mirin and honey.

I put local honey in my morning coffee. Local raw honey to help combat allergies. I also use it in my smoothies. My husband puts it in his green tea. I also use it if we are sick to make the tea, honey lemon and possibly some kind of spirit to help combat a sore throat and stop coughs

I only use it to make peanut butter and honey sandwiches (called Pooh sandwiches at our house), or honey and peanut butter sandwiches (which are Tigger sandwiches).
My son takes a tablespoon of local honey morning and night during allergy season, and needs much less medication because of that. His wife uses raw honey on my grandkids bumps and scrapes. When my grandson sprained his ankle, she put honey on it immediately and the swelling was gone by the time she got him to the doctor. Just tonight, that same grandson got hit in the face, just below his eye, by a truck thrown by his little brother. His eye swelled shut pretty quickly, and she put honey on it. By the time she got him to the ER, it was just swollen underneath where the laceration was (the super-glued it shut, no stitches thankfully).
My mother used it on her incision when she had wrist surgery. At her post-op visit the doctor said it looked like it had a whole extra month of healing time instead of just a week.

Local raw honey to help combat allergies. I also use it in my smoothies. Ditto! I love it in my smoothies, and love the effect of local, raw honey!

I add a spoonful to my daily yogurt (along with flax seed). I use it in hot tea. I cook with it.
I find local honey has better flavor. The store bought stuff (meaning the national brands) just lacks something.

Mostly sandwiches here- peanut butter and honey, cream cheese and honey, and cheddar cheese and honey. DD also invented peanut butter and honey roll-ups-peanut butter and honey on a tortilla, smoosh the peanut butter and honey together with your knife and roll up. I thought this sounded kind of gross but I've tried it and it's pretty good.
Thanks to those who mentioned local honey for allergies. I've never heard of this before. DD has allergies so we will be giving this a try.

Yep, this is what I do. My kids LOVE honey joys! Definitely on crumpets. I also use it for honey teriyaki sauce, pancakes, bbq sauce, honey lemon drinks for when you're not feeling well, face scrub, honey is actually a very good antiseptic (the ancient Egyptians used it constantly). Some biscuit/cookie or cake recipes...

I've read that if you take a teaspoon of honey mixed with a sprinkle of cinnamon, it is really healthy for you. Combats reflux, and other conditions of the digestive system. It apparently helps with inflammation and arthritis. It was used a lot in the past for healing and colds etc.
My son loves it on sandwiches. Just honey and bread. We use it in tea in place of white sugar, and I bake with it and use it in some of my cooking.

We make up a batch and keep in a glass container. Really good and really good for you!

I use it on pancakes and toast. It has to be orange blossom honey though. After I tried orange blossom honey I didn't like regular clover honey anymore.

I buy local honey from a beekeeper I know. He mentioned that honey also has healing and anti microbial properties. If you get cut, clean the area then put some honey on it. I've done this and the skin repairs quickly.
Be careful and buy high quality honey, local if you can get it and not the cheap stuff from China.
