The holiday season is in full swing, and the time between Thanksgiving and New Year’s really just seems to fly by. Between the planning, shopping, gift wrapping and cooking, this can be a stressful time, but we’re here to make your brightest season simpler with a little help from our friends at Tasting Spoon Media (TSM).
Tasting Spoon Media is a community of food bloggers and recipe developers who create, test and share innovative and delicious recipes. We’ve had the pleasure of working with this talented group since 2015 and this partnership has resulted in many delicious recipes, such as Almond Crusted French Toast with Whipped Ricotta and Honey, Baklava Cookie Cups and Pomegranate Cider Bourbon Splash.
At this very busy time of the year, we want to remind our fans and readers that honey’s versatility and many culinary benefits make it one ingredient that spans your entire holiday menu. From appetizers and side dishes to cocktails and your favorite holiday ham, honey makes all of your favorite dishes shine. That is why we have taken a different approach to the holiday menu this year and have brought in our partners at TSM to craft a deliciously honey-inspired holiday menu, complete with a shopping list to make sure you have everything you need to impress your guests this holiday season.
These five dishes are not only delicious, but they showcase everything you can do with honey, from marinades on meats to balancing flavors in side dishes and small bites:
- Honey Pear Cardamom Sangria
- Brie en Croute with Honey Almonds, Cherries and Thyme
- Honey Chipotle Acorn Squash
- Bacon Wrapped Honey Pork Tenderloin
- Honey Apple Gingerbread Cake

With all the great things honey can do, it’s hard not to share, and we love that our blogger friends share our enthusiasm for our favorite one-ingredient sweetener, honey. Be sure to follow our friends for more great recipe ideas:
