Honey Recipes

Our first unit for the 2001-2002 school year is "Insects." As a part of that unit, we are studying bees and how they make honey. Mrs. Gail had us make different foods using honey as the sweetener. This was our lunch on 8/21/01. These are the recipes we used. Sara brought a honey mustard salad dressing and Elizabeth brought honey mustard sauce and chicken nuggets, but we don't have the recipes for them.
