Colman’s Mustard, a great ingredient and accompaniment to any holiday meal.  Here is a little more information about Colman’s Mustard from the website: 

Established in 1814, Colman’s of Norwich has been recognized widely as the English mustard in the U.K. Using a unique and zesty blend of brown mustard seeds (Brassica Juncea) and white mustard seeds (Sinapis Alba), Jeremiah Colman created a mustard with a flavorful heat sensation that has become an essential condiment and paramount ingredient in Britain’s favorite recipes, even to the highest royal order. In 1866 Queen Victoria bestowed the ultimate seal of approval - the Royal Warrant – galvanizing Colman’s as the crown jewel of mustards, securing its place in the most discerning kitchens around the world. Sold as prepared mustard and mustard powder, Colman’s provides a pure, fiery and complex condiment for all your recipes and dishes. Complete Your Cooking With Colman’s.

For me, the holidays are about being with the family and enjoying each other’s company and of course the great food.

Sure the main course is important but for me it is the side dishes that make the meal. To get ready for Easter, I whipped up a practice batch of green beans, not just any old plain green beans. I made mustard honey glazed beans. This was a very simple recipe, here is all you need.

Canned or Frozen green beans

Honey ½ table spoon

Coleman’s  Mustard Powder ¼ tablespoon

Dash of Hot sauce (if you like a kick)

Salt and pepper

Simply cook the green beans as directed by the package. In a separate bowl combine, honey, mustard powder and if you wish a splash of hot sauce. We like things to have a little spice, so I added the hot sauce for my family.  Mix well then toss with the cooked and strained green beans sprinkle pepper and salt on the top and then serve.

This was just the right amount to give the beans a nice flavor, and I have to admit these were very easy to make, and they were the best tasting green beans I have ever eaten. With just 3 simple ingredients, it is amazing how great a side dish can be.
