Broccoli and Snow Pea Stir Fry with Walnuts

How good does broccoli and snow pea stir fry with walnuts sound?  Sounds good, tastes better.

I made stir fry before and so I used almost the same sauce recipe, but this time I used raw honey and added turmeric.  My dad is on a turmeric kick because of its potential health benefits.  It adds a yellow color to the dishes you cook with it and it stains your fingers and counters yellow as well if you’re not careful.  Turmeric reminds me almost like ginger, but it is definitely more pungent.  It pairs well with the other ingredients in this stir fry.

The raw honey is phenomenal.  I never knew how sweet and rich honey could taste until I bought raw honey made with wildflowers.  It’s from Dawg Gone Bees which has hives in Adams and York counties.  Raw honey is unprocessed and has not been pasteurized, therefore, it is thicker and tends to crystallize faster than regular honey.

My grandmother was a big fan of this recipe and told me I could cook for her anytime.  This stir fry would be great served with chicken and rice.
