How HoneyDijon.com came into existence.
Here in the south, the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, we like good food. Some common items on the dinner table at supper time are things like southern fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, rice, with homegrown tomatoes, taters and green beans fresh out of the garden. Top that off with some peach cobbler for dessert and you can say you have lived the life of Riley.

I was never partial to food from other locations, until one day a couple of years ago, we had used a grill wok to bbq some chicken and steak kabobs over charcoal with fresh green peppers, onions, mushrooms, pineapple chunks and baby tomatoes. After boiling some rice, I sat down and poured soy sauce over the mixture. There happened to be some honey-dijon salad dressing on the table so I poured some of that on too.

This is how I discovered honey-dijon and let me tell you it is good! I don't particularly care to use it as a salad dressing-- and there are only certain brands that taste good. Try to stay away from the ones that say fat free. The brands I prefer are Hidden Valley Ranch Honey Dijon Salad Dressing, Lawry's Dijon and Honey Marinade and a couple more that I can't remember. You will also find the recipes and products -- honey and dijon mustard -- to make it at home, on this site.

If you try this, drop me a note and let me know how you liked it. Also, if there are other variations or dishes you would recommend that use honey dijon mustard, let me know and I will try them.
