I think we have discussed overnight oatmeal before. Despite it becoming trendy around here, it really isn’t anything new. It’s basically muesli and that’s been around a very long time in other parts of the world.
But while our muesli may not be new, it is definitely delicious. People have come up with some seriously tasty combinations.
There are times when nothing will do, but a cookie. No slice of cake or pie, no brownie square or fruit tart; only a cookie.
I appreciate that my sweet tooth is selective, but its picky nature sometimes sends me into the kitchen for some baking when I hadn’t really planned on it. That happened this past week.
These Slow Cooker Maple Jalapeno Chicken Sliders have a flavorful balance of sweet, salty and spicy. Crown Maple gave me a sample of their delicious organic maple syrup at the Winter Fancy Food Show last month and it made the perfect addition to this easy meal!
I learned long ago that there is no denying my sweet tooth. Yes, you can calm it down by cutting out all forms of added sugar. I did that a couple years ago. Cravings subsided, and even now I don’t like things nearly as sweet as I used to, but the sweet tooth never really went away.
If you have a sweet tooth, you know what I’m talking about.
People tend to fall into a sweet or salty category. Some have no desire for any type of sugar. But threaten to take away their potato chips, and look out! Meanwhile, if you told me I could never have a potato chip or pretzel again I would not shed a single tear. But let’s not talk about the horror of never having caramel, chocolate, or my favorite sweetener, maple syrup.
