Flexible Friday #48 Maple vs. Vanilla

Friday, November 20, 2009 By Sherra

PhilBillPaul snapped this blurry picture last Friday night.

That would be Friday, November 13th.

Which means it could have been a prank.

But it wasn’t.

Don’t mean to be a scrooge but November 13th is just…

Way. Too. Early.

For Christmas decorations.

Now on to a timely holiday topic…

Food at Thanksgiving

Last weekend I made PhilBillPaul’s favorite Thanksgiving treat because he insisted I didn’t make them last year. (Not true.)

He gets a little cranky if he doesn’t have Pumpkin Bars at least a couple of times during this season.

I totally stressed him and Scary Baby by announcing I was changing the frosting. They don’t handle change well.

But I’ve been having a little bit of a maple obsession this season.

So I went wild and substituted one teaspoon of maple flavoring instead of vanilla in the cream cheese frosting.

Woo-hoo. Giant success. Maybe a permanent change. Give it a try and let me know what you think. Recipe here and was even featured here too.

Um, yes, I do believe the frosting should be almost the same height as the cake/bar base.

Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe today for…

Maple Tangerine Cranberry Sauce.

A new addition to our menu I can’t wait to make!

Have a great weekend and feel free to share any of your favorite Thanksgiving dishes (even if they don’t have maple)!
