  • Southern Cornbread served with honey butter is a great addition to your feast. Our cornbread is sweet, rich, and oh-so decadent.
  • Roasted Squash Salad can be made as a hearty side, and there's so much room to play with what you toss together! Try adding dried cranberries or roasted turkey to make it a whole meal.
  • Healthy Slaw is a perfectly crunchy side dish, and it's not packed with calories or fats like traditional slaws!
  • Honey Cranberry Relish is surprisingly simple to make. Prepare it a day or two ahead of your feast to take a little pressure off of the rest of your cooking!
  • A variation from the boring sweet potato casseroles that dominate the fall, our Twice Baked Sweet Potato with Honey is a yummy, customizable addition to your Thanksgiving table.
  • Honey Glazed Roasted Butternut Squash is an exciting break from the plain-Jane traditional squash. Sweet and savory, our Eastern Shore Honey adds a delicious glaze to this perennial favorite.
  • While this is a Baked Honey Mustard Chicken recipe, it's easy enough to double the measurements and use this wonderful marinate on turkey. if you aren't sure how to roast a turkey, I find this to be a reliable and quite delicious method. I did this dairy-free by using olive oil.
  • Honey Mustard Roasted Carrots are bright and colorful. Why not toss in some parsnips, beets, or squash too?

Don’t forget dessert

  • Honey and Bourbon Pumpkin pie hits the spot for dessert. I play with this recipe on occasion when I am searching to alternatives to using pie crust. I have made merangue nests and beefed up the "filing" to serve it more as a pudding.
  • Pecan Pie made with honey and chocolate is rich and oh-so-sweet. It's like a little piece of the south brought right to your table!
  • Our pumpkin roll is delicious and though it looks difficult to make, you'll get the hang of it in no time.
  • Looking for something really old-school? This Parisian Honey Rum Cake is as traditional as it gets.
