March 15 - Maple Syrup Day

Hooray for maple syrup! What else could go so well with pancakes and waffles?

Well, it turns out that maple flavoring goes well with many foods. I use maple extract in my zucchini bread (use instead of vanilla extract). Maple is commonly paired with nuts (usually walnuts) and is most often used in sweets and breakfast foods, but you can easily find other ways to use maple syrup.

Here are some Maple Syrup recipes I enjoyed:
