I have a weakness for sweetness, and for health reasons I definitely try to minimize my sugar consumption…but everything in moderation, right?  😉  it’s good to experiment with alternative types of sugar over granulated white sugar…like honey just to vary your sweet tooth a bit (if you can call it that), and see what fits you best.  honey is a natural sweetener and has many natural benefits, but most importantly — let’s face it, the taste of honey is soooo good.  I found 5 fav honey recipes to try.  tell me, how do you like to use honey?

honey almond granola via cookie + kate
