Maple-Bacon French Toast

Parlez-vous French toast? Let your slow-cooker do all the work and wake up to this medley of egg-soaked bread (challah back, girl!) and thick-cut bacon in the morning. Don’t forget to douse it in the good stuff. Get the recipe: Maple-Bacon French Toast

Maple-Roasted Parsnips and Brussels Sprouts

Maple Carrot Soup

Syrup in soup? Yup. It actually helps to boost the carrot’s sweetness, while savoury thyme and grainy Dijon balance the bowl. Get the recipe: Maple Carrot Soup

Maple Sweet Potato Wedges

Brushing sweet potatoes with maple syrup just makes sense. Patience is the trick to these wedges: If you grill them over too high a heat, they will burn before they are tender. Tenting loosely with foil can help speed up the process. Get the recipe: Maple Sweet Potato Wedges
