For The Love of Food and Making Great Memories
In my family I can remember growing summer yellow squash and the zucchini squash. I was excited to try this version of zucchini. I think that this is a very versatile vegetable and can be used in many ways. This is a wonderful side dish to go along with either your lunch or dinner. It’s great for a potluck and easy to fix. I hope you give this wonderful side dish a try. You can make it vegetarian, or vegan.
The batter smelled amazingly sweet, making me think about when I used to bake with my family. Making the glaze took longer than I thought it would. When it’s all said and done your kitchen will smell like the holidays, with the smell of spices and apples filling the air.
So I ran into a snag with the fruit on this. I had to use canned peaches instead of fresh or frozen. our state got shut down and put on a freeze again due to covid-19. So I am trying something new with this. I will be doing Brach’s cinnamon hard candies instead of red hots and I am going to use pink blush wine and a little bit of the syrup from the peaches to melt the candies down. I am also going to add some oats to the crumble topping and a little brown sugar. Told my dad …

Courage is all this recipe really requires. I will say ample overhead clearance helps a great deal as well though. Banana’s Foster is ready in an instant and easily altered to individual liking’s. Not a banana fan? Trade the banana for cherries, apples, or even orange slices. Let your local liquor store fuel your inspiration by visiting the wide variety of miniature bottles they carry. They make for a large selection for guests to choose from AND won’t break the bank when experimenting with new flavors. Leftover cranberries from Thanksgiving? Flambéing them in this cinnamon and sugar mixture and topping …
I loved making this recipe, it was very simple. The outcome was delicious and not too sweet. If I were to make it again I would use pumpkin ice cream.
This dish is very near and dear to my heart. It was one of the first I tried as a home cook and am still very open to perfect at all costs. This dish is what I used as a gateway to open my kids up to try new things.
My son and my neighbor were the first people to taste this meal. My son told me that it was delicious. I know it was a hearty meal for him because he is a very healthy growing young man. My neighbor told me that it was ok. He cooks as well so he was a bit critical about the dish. I do know that I cooked a successful dish.
This custard is one of the classics….It is simply delicious. The recipe is very easy to follow and it bakes up bubbly and golden brown. And the aroma that fills your house as it is baking is another added bonus. Top it with whipped cream and enjoy!!!!
I really recommend using homemade biscuits. For this recipe, you will need to double the ingredients for the biscuits. The biscuits are soft, fluffy, and they just melt in your mouth. The maple syrup makes a thick, rich glaze that coats every biscuit. CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there. You can visit numerous producers, taste their wares, and grab some syrup or other goodies on your way out. In 2007 while visiting the various producers I picked up a bunch of recipe pages …
I have never made any type of candy before. This was new and exciting for me to prepare. I love doing new recipes. This reminded me of a sweet Werther’s Originals caramel candy CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there.

This recipe is easy to make and it’s delicious. This was my first try at making cream cheese bars, I’m not a big fan of cheese cake, but it had pumpkin and I love pumpkin, so I thought I would give it a go and it was really good to my surprise. You can make this for any occasion and it takes no time to make it. CandiAnne’s Note: We were stationed at Fort Drum, NY for 4 1/2 years and maple weekend is a huge thing there.

I decided to make my rolo brownies. I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar and chopped pecans. This turned out chewy and delicious. I served with ice cream.
These cookies are probably one of my favorites. They have the perfect crunch, but also the best chewy center. The pecans make an excellent crunch as well. The praline icing is literally the ‘Icing on top’!
I’m not a huge fan of dark chocolate, easily preferring milk chocolate. But my favorite? White chocolate. The sweetness always explodes on my taste buds. I love the creamy, rich flavor, as well as the fact that white chocolate is easy to color in any way I want. I tried it with a chewy caramel pecan candy recipe that I had. They are rich in flavor, creamy, and as chewy as the name implies. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did!
If you love maple syrup and pecans then you will love this cake! This cake is loaded with pecans and maple syrup. This is a very rich and dense cake. It would be a good dessert for a holiday season like Christmas.
This is a Portuguese lamb dish, with a mouth-watering braised leg of lamb served on a bed of roasted potatoes and sauteed fresh vegetables. To finish off the dish, it is topped off with a rich velvety lamb reduction perfectly spiced.
This sauce is a zinger!! It’s got a good amount of tanginess to it, but with a good balance of sweet and spice. You won’t be disappointed!
This recipe reminds me a lot of harvest parties and having fun with family and friends. I recommend having this at your next get together, whether it is game night, movie night, or an office party I am sure it will be a big hit.
Cranberries are both sweet and tart in its’ flavor profile. Maple syrup is a complex flavor known for its’ hints of caramel and vanilla. Pairing these two ingredients creates a dynamic layer of flavors on the tastebuds. Now imagine making quick and simple butter with minimal ingredients creating a burst of possibilities to your palette? The ability to easily execute both a maple syrup butter and Cranberry Maple Butter, which is sweet condensed jelly. That’s precisely the experience I want to bring you as a Culinary artist. And in such, I made a few tweaks, like adding Mexican vanilla beans …
This was SO much fun to make!!! *full disclosure: I’ve made candy once before this* Ok, maple popcorn. If you like caramel corn, you’re going to be super pleased with this. The original recipe calls for a quart of popcorn crumbs, but this is really up to you. First batch was by the book, and it was beautiful; perfect for shaping into a sheet for cutting, but I’m fancy! More crumbs means less viscosity, and you have maple crumble corn!!! Less popcorn means more tack, which is equally yum, so pick your poison and let’s do this!
This is another way to enjoy this fun fall flavor, but you can make it year-round LOL. You can choose whatever type of chocolate chips you like, I often use a mixture of white and sweet. In this photo, I chose milk and dark.
