Dressing the Holidays with Honey!

Did you know that honey contains natural antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that are proven to sooth sore throats and coughs, boost energy and relive tired muscles. Honey is also known to relax the digestive tract – perfect for overindulgent holiday eating!

I love honey mustard dressings, so I decided to make this the other night, and I have to say, I am hooked, and can't wait to make it again.
