Fantastic Food Friday

Liquid Gold...?
 
Known in health circles as "liquid gold" and "nature's multi-vitamin", raw honey is packed with healing properties -- and it tastes fantastic! Vitamins such as B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and even antioxidant-rich vitamin C are found in raw honey. It also contains minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium, sulphur, and phosphate.  

With antibacterial and anti-fungal and immune-boosting anti-viral properties raw honey has been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of ulcers, diarrhea, bronchitis, and gastrointestinal issues.  Raw honey is used in a whole host of home health remedies from treating morning sickness, sore throats and sinus problems to serving as a natural sleep aid.  

How I am using it:  As a substitute for my usual coffee beverage when trying to cut back on caffeine,  for a soothing after dinner drink, and as a healthier alternative to hot chocolate for my kids.  


Raw Honey Milk Steamer





Simply add a heaping teaspoon of organic raw honey to steamed (or warm) milk of your choice.  Add a little vanilla and sprinkle with cinnamon for a hint of fall.  You may not even miss your usual cup of coffee!
