Creamy Bacon Tomato Soup with Garlic Basil Baguettes

Recipe Source: Yours Truly

I first made this recipe in fall 2020 for a few friends. It was starting to get cold outside and we wanted to have a soup night. One of my friends suggested tomato soup and grilled cheese. I had never made tomato soup before because I never liked it growing up. I decided that since I was an adult now and my taste palette had changed, I would try it out. My friend's house was turned into an experimental kitchen the next night, and this creamy bacon tomato soup was born.

Texas Chili

Recipe Source: Benton Westbook (IU Senior and Dallas Native)

When my friend Benton mentioned that he was making his chili, I was skeptical at first. I personally had never found a chili that I genuinely liked, but this chili was amazing and nothing like anything I had ever had before. He served it in a bowl over Frito corn chips and topped it off with mexican blend cheese. He said in Texas they would call this style "Frito Pie", and I was hooked. I got home from the trip and made it the next night to share with my roommates. This recipe is perfect for a cold day during the winter.

7 recipes to make the most of maple season - Bangor Daily News

Posted: 24 Feb 2021 09:00 AM PST

It's maple tapping season in Maine. Whether you are tapping maple trees for the first time in your yard and making your own syrup, or just enjoying the glut of delicious syrup at the farmers market, maple syrup is an ingredient that can be used in a number of different dishes, from breakfast and lunch to dinner and dessert.

Here are seven recipes that use maple syrup that will help you to make the most of maple season in Maine.

Maple granola

Maple provides crunchy granola with sweetness and so much more. Unlike one-dimensional granulated sugar, maple syrup supplies the caramel, vanilla and floral notes that make granola interesting to eat. If you are making this recipe for maple granola, make sure you keep an eye on it — granola is prone to burning, and it would be a shame to waste all that delicious maple.

Maple pie

Maple syrup pie fits nicely into the pie-filling void between the last apples from the previous fall and the first red stalks of rhubarb. The family of sugar and egg pies, often called transparent pies, includes lemon meringue, vinegar, pecan, chess, shoo-fly and related cousins such as buttermilk and key lime pies. Sugar, egg yolks, sometimes a bit of milk or cream, and flavoring reliably bake into a cross between a curd and custard that lets the sweet maple flavor shine through. This recipe for maple pie is for anyone with a sweet tooth and a love for maple.

Maple syrup snow candy

If there is fresh snow on the ground, making maple syrup snow candy is a great way to pass the time and enjoy a sweet treat. Maple syrup snow candy is made by boiling maple sap past the point where it would form maple syrup, but not so long that it becomes maple butter or sugar, and then cooling it quickly on fresh snow and lifting it with a popsicle stick or metal dinner fork for easy enjoyment. Try making maple syrup snow candy for yourself.

Maple syrup is a delicious Maine treat that can be used in many different ways. Try one of these to bring more maple into your diet and life.
