Aunt Jana’s Maple Syrup

My aunt Jana made waffles and homemade syrup for breakfast. It was so delightful. I went back for more....and I generally don’t do that. It’s so easy too. We make it and feed our kids the store brand while my husband and I enjoy the good stuff.

Aunt Week

I have a few favorite recipes that are named after my aunts. I think this week will be devoted to them.  My dad’s younger sister, Aunt Sherry, is an AMAZING cook. Her food is always a hit. My kids beg for some of her dishes. Her notable recipes are Aunt Sherry fruit salad, Aunt Sherry pasta salad and Aunt Sherry carrot cake. She also has the recipe for my dad’s favorite applesauce cookies. I have used her knowledge many times and have been able to replicate my grandma’s homemade chili. My aunts also tweaked Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden, giving me a good start at my own take on it. I love my Aunt Sherry. On my mom’s side of the family my Aunt Jana has some amazing recipes. Her notables are homemade maple syrup and homemade hot fudge sauce. I love making those recipes because they make me think of the fun times we’ve spent together.
