It’s that time of the summer. It’s that time of the pandemic. It’s. All. About. Food. We don’t even feel the need to string these together with connective word-ingredients. Let it be like food poetry. Say these aloud with us, now:
Crumpets with Chorizo-Maple Syrup
Crab and Fennel Baked Eggs with Cornbread
Coffee, Maple and Walnut Tea Cake
Southern Collard, Maple and Sweet Potato Hash
Maple Pecan Chicken on a Biscuit
Ikarian Baked Rosemary Chickpeas
Sweet Summer Maple-Fig Bars
Buckwheat Banana Bread Pancakes with Peanut Butter Syrup
Maple Pecan Scotch Pie
Marrakesh Salad with Bulgar and Dates
Grilled Peaches with Mojito Coconut-Rum Yogurt
If any of those taste half as good as they sound . . . Right?
