Homemade Maple Syrup

Gina Hansen — Sat, 24 Oct 2020 00:37:57 +0000

This is a family recipe that was handed down to me by my Mother-In-Law. I have to warn you, once you try it, you won’t go back to the store brands, I promise!! It’s so easy to whip up, you won’t believe it. Warm syrup on warm waffles, pancakes, or french toast, can’t’ be beat. Unless you are my husband, then I always have extra syrup in the refrigerator. He prefers his syrup cold.

Healthier Waffles

We have been making this waffle recipe for the last 15 years. I love it!! When my kids were younger I tried to find ways to add whole wheat flour in where I could. Unfortunately, I found going 100% whole wheat can leave you with heavy waffles. In this recipe, I combine unbleached flour, whole wheat flour, and oatmeal. These turn out light and fluffy and are a little healthier than other recipes. Enjoy!

Braised Beef Burgundy Stew

Nothing like a great beef stew. This a rich and hearty stew. It tastes as good as it smells. My children will ask me what smells so good. When do we eat I’m getting so hungry.

Give this stew a try. You will be glad you did.

Instant Pot Cheeseburger Soup

My family just loves this quick and easy lunch or dinner special. Instant Pot is so handy. I’ve had this when we had other family members over for dinner. They have asked for seconds too. Through it is actually pretty filling with bread or rolls for dunking.

Monte Cristo

My family is always asking (begging) me to make these delicious yet easy sandwiches. This recipe has been a labor of love. I created it from a sandwich that I had at a restaurant in Nashville. I loved the sandwich and I frequented the establishment regularly for my fix. Unfortunately, we ended up moving out...

New England Clam Chowder

Jim Phillips — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 23:41:50 +0000

It’s like sitting down at a Boston harbor restaurant. This is a very tasty soup. My family often request this for dinner. It is a hearty meal in itself. Just add some crusty bread for dipping. It has a variety of ingredients that really brings the taste out of the soup.

These quick and easy Instant Pot baby back ribs are really tender and delicious. The cinnamon and rosemary in the dry rub complements the flavors in this savory Dark Cherry BBQ Sauce, but the flavors pair well with just about any barbecue sauce you prefer. Tip: Place the ribs under a hot broiler after cooking...

Homemade Dark Cherry BBQ Sauce

Jim Phillips — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 06:46:22 +0000

This flavor-packed BBQ sauce combines the natural sweetness of cherries and maple syrup with the welcoming warmth of the ginger, cinnamon, and rosemary.

For best results, prepare this recipe one or two days in advance. Although it can be enjoyed immediately, this sauce really comes into its own when the flavors are given time to fully develop.

Instant Pot Blueberry Maple Compote

Jim Phillips — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 06:21:22 +0000

Classic compote recipes include large amounts of white sugar, but this version relies on a more modest amount of real maple syrup for a bit of sweetness. Although this recipe uses fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and cinnamon, feel free to add any combination of fresh berries, citrus juice, and seasonings to create your own tasty flavor variations.
