Baked Grapefruit

Serve this at breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Quick and easy.

Cut grapefruit in half. Loosen sections from the rind. Cook in a preheated oven at 375° for about 10 minutes or until heated through. While still warm - top with creamed honey. I used original flavor today - but ginger honey or cinnamon creamed honey would be very tasty too.

Ginger Carrots

This recipe is a favorite of many guests and sisters alike.

Cut about 8 large carrots into 3 inch strips. Slice one large onion. Melt about 2 Tablespoons of butter in a large frying pan. Saute onions a little and add carrots. Saute for several minutes. Cover and cook until the carrots are just tender. Add about 2 Tablespoons of ginger honey and let cook a little longer until the carrots start to caramelize a little. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Amounts of butter and honey may vary depending on the size and quantity of carrots.

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette

Last week several guests of the Abbey asked for the recipe for a salad dressing I prepared. Since I did it on the fly – I am not sure if I have all measurements correct – so you may want to go easy at first with these quantities – especially the vinegar.

½ cup of olive oil
1 ½ cups canola oil
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup brown rice vinegar
3 cloves of garlic – medium size
1 tsp salt about
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 dollops from a large teaspoon of Ginger Creamed Honey
A handful of fresh broad leaf parsley – tear off the leaves and discard stems
Juice from one lemon
About ¼ cup water

Put all these ingredients in a blender. Blend on medium. Taste and see if it needs anything.
