Meal Plan: Simple Glaze Recipes to Make Dishes Taste Better

by Marissa Huntsman on October 29th, 2018 | No Comments »

You may be wondering what this delicious dessert has in common with this week's meal plan — glazes! Warm, tasty glazes make any sort of food even more delectable. The best glazes come from nature's natural source for a sweet tooth — fruit!

Strawberries, raspberries, apples, apricots, oranges, and even pomegranates make for a perfect glaze. Take any sort of beef, pork, or fish and jazz it up with a juicy glaze.
