Now I want to try pecan tassies.1

Warm brownies fresh out of the oven, with some hot chocolate. I also have a gingerbread man tea and a chocolate mint one. Although the teas aren't really dessert, they are awesome on a cold day.1

Why does everything have to be "healthy" and "avoid sugar at all costs"?
Take your self somewhere elsewhere.
Self righteousness ? lol! Don't try to put crap where there isn't any.
The reason I'm surprised to see so much normal on here is because this is MFP.
Normal is everywhere, I come here for healthy.
Contrary to common belief, we are not all here for the same reasons. There is nothing wrong with fitting in some sweet treats along the way. Keeps my sanity and makes me less stabby and angry. And it can be part of a healthy balanced diet.4 -
Oh goodie! Food moralizing!!!!
People manage to lose weight without putting health halos on their food all the time. Shocking, I know.
This is dead easy, no measuring involved, and can be used to top ice cream, a plain cake or spice cake, on pancakes or waffles, or as a side dish to meats.
Just peel and slice apples. Simmer in maple syrup (the good stuff) with a teeny pinch of salt until tender. Profit.
Speaking of maple syrup, I've made pecan pie with maple syrup instead of corn syrup.
Life changing.4 -

That sounds so good! I love apples cut in half and cored, then baked with brown sugar and cinnamon. So simmered in maple syrup sounds heavenly.0 -

Im still in it with pecan pie:
Deliciously toasted pecans enrobed in creamy sweet velvety buttery sexiness encased in a crumbly, buttery crust.
@GottaBurnEmAll holy...crap! Maple syrup in a pecan pie? How much does the maple change the flavour? I'm quite intrigued.2 -

Not as much as you'd think. It's pecan pie, just... maple-y. It's really good. If you love maple as much as my family does.2 -

Really? There is nothing wrong with indulging if you have the calories for it. Who decides what is healthy?
I have been on MFP for over 4-1/2 years, almost 3 years of sustaining a weight loss of over half of my current body weight. I accomplish this by all foods in moderation, and have been sustaining my weight by continuing to eat all foods in moderation.

Not seeing where cerise noir said you were being self-righteous. Did you perhaps misread?
And speaking of maple, for those of you in Canada with access to a Superstore, President's Choice has just come out with maple bacon popcorn. Maple. Bacon. Popcorn. Half the kernels are caramel coated with maple, the other half are popped with bacon. The combination of the sweet and the savoury is a party in your mouth.

When I still ate meat, I used to make them to eat with pork chops. It was a tasty combo.
It also became a Thanksgiving side dish staple. They are really tasty.0 -

I serve maple applesauce as a side to pork chops. It's a great combo.

I'm accepting beer bribes. In the meantime, I'll dig out my hammer and nails. Winter is coming, we better get cracking on that.1 -

Just thought of another dinner dish I do using maple syrup:
Pan sear ham steaks in a little butter until lightly browned. Remove ham. And a few glugs of real maple syrup to the pan, stir to combine with the butter and then simmer on low heat until the sauce starts to caramelize - don't let it burn. Pour over the ham once plated.
I usually serve it with a side salad and baked beans. 1 -

Blueberry lady finger cake. High in calories but has a very light, creamy texture. So good and was always a Thanksgiving dessert growing up.
2 (2 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
2 pt. heavy cream
4 pkg. Lady Fingers
1 can blueberry pie filling
Soften cream cheese; add sugar and whip cream. Beat until mixture forms peaks. Set aside.
Line bottom and sides of large springform pan with layer of lady fingers. Pour 1/2 of mixture over lady fingers, place another layer of lady fingers over mixture, pour rest of mixture, a layer of lady fingers. Top with pie filling. Refrigerate.4 -

I live in the Finger lakes region of NY....not NYC and grape pies are easy to find. If you like concord grapes you will love grape pies

I absolutely *love* Concord grapes. They are usually called Coronation grapes in Canada. Taste *exactly* like Welch's Grape Juice. I wish they were in season longer. 1 -

Yum. I adore maple syrup. I had the real, pure Quebec stuff right from the tree (boiled down, of course) 10 years ago. I was even reluctant to try it as I was used to the "maple syrup" abomination I tried back in Oz at a very famous pancake restaurant.
Now, I love tire d'erable, especially when it is poured on snow. And maple butter? I love that, too.
Since I love Montreal bagels, maple, poutine, char and tourtiere, am I officially Canadian, eh?
It's so hard to type being so tired and without glasses. I also tured off the ridiculous autocorrect.0 -
