What Exactly Is Hot Honey? Plus 20+ Ways To Use It

by Kristen 4 Comments

I first came across hot honey last year when I went to a restaurant that served chicken and waffles for dinner. There was a small tin of hot honey next to it, and I was intrigued.  I wasn’t that into hot sauces at the time, so I didn’t think too much about it, but slowly I started to see it more and more. 

Recently I have been trying to expand the palate of my family by introducing new cuisines and flavors. Hot honey was the perfect addition to my pantry!

If you are looking for an exciting way to infuse flavor into a dish, hot honey is a great option.

Learn How To Get Kids To Eat Vegetables With These 4 Easy Tips

by Kristen 1 Comment

I am always trying to learn how to get kids to eat vegetables.  Fruits haven’t been too much of a problem, but anything green? No way! When you ask my little guy what his favorite food is, he will almost always say “peas.”  Seriously. If he ever tells you that, do NOT believe him. I’ve called his bluff many times and given him peas. His reply, “never said that.” Bless his heart.

Despite my little guy’s apparent pea obsession, I’m always on the hunt for a new way to get my boys to eat more vegetables, and so I took a class on Child Nutrition from Stanford University. It was relatively simple, but there were four good takeaways. I’ve been using these tips for a year now, and honestly believe that I learned how to get kids to eat vegetables.

6 Surprising Benefits Of Family-Style Meals Plus How To Do It

by Kristen 11 Comments

Benefits of family-style meals

We’ve long heard of the benefits of having family meals. It’s the one time of day that everyone can come together and relax a bit. According to The Family Dinner Project, “over three decades of research have shown that regular family meals offer a wide variety of physical, social-emotional and academic benefits.”

Despite all of the benefits, recent reports state that only 30 percent of families have dinner together. Schedules don’t always meet up, and people are tired at the end of the day. Cooking dinner is just another chore. But it doesn’t need to be! Dinner time can be the part of the day that everyone looks forward to, the time where family members reconnect and relax. A big part of that is a family-style meal. It takes a bit of pressure off the cook and even has some unexpected benefits for families.
