Maple Syrup Blog Posts

‘Brinner?’ you may ask. Breakfast & dinner, why? Because I love breakfast for dinner, so why not combine the two? There’s no reason not to and this burger will show you the light. So good, maple syrup bacon and fried eggs atop a...

Like peanut butter and jelly, there are just certain foods that go together. Jeff Kontur offers up a Hot 12 list of other great food combos. Use ‘em singly or as two-parters in a prepared dish. Hot Idea #1: Most people know that a bit of lemon juic...

What to do with that 5-pound behemoth of a zucchini that eerily resembles a lethal weapon wielded by an ogre in a Grimm’s Fairy Tale?  Grate that puppy up and make zucchini bread.  Lots of zucchini bread.  Call it fate, kismet, destiny, luck...

Jay with beer... and cheese If anybody can find something wrong with beer and cheese, please stop reading this post now.  For those continuing, which I assume is everybody, let me tell you about a little place in NYC that my friend Molly introdu...

I saw a question the other day on facebook, Pancakes or French Toast? Are you a pancake or a french toast fan? It got me thinking, I love pancakes, but I also love french toast. French toast particularly when it’s stuffed with a creamy mascarpo...

When the Virtual Potluck crew got to choose from a selection of Coombs Family Farms maple products to cook with, I had no trouble going after the organic maple sugar. I've cooked with very nice maple syrups a number of times, but I had never played a...

It’s been ages since I’ve posted a bread recipe and if I’m to achieve my goal of getting everyone on earth to at least once bake a loaf of bread – I’d better get moving.  This loaf is the perfect candidate for a novice...

Many years back, I went for lunch one day to a small Indian restaurant in the basement of an old house on the quiet part of Pearl Street in Boulder, CO. Basements aren’t the most welcoming environments for dining and buffets have always given me th...
