Maple Candy & Enchiladas (not together!)

Here are 2 great recipes I found online.
The 1st is for Maple Candy. This is a perfect treat to make in the fall. Also, maple syrup is processed more easily than table sugar, so it satisfies your sweet tooth without all the sugar. It is local to folks in the North East, and can easily be found within 100 miles of NYC. Look for maple syrup at farmer's markets to get the best price.

The 2nd is for enchiladas. Yesterday I was missing home (Texas), and when I miss home I deal with it by eating tex-mex food. Enchiladas are one of my favorite foods to make, because you can put anything in them. This is a great use for my leftover late summer tomatoes that are starting to get soft. You can also use leftover beans too.

I reduced the amout of cumin to 1 t. 3 t just seemed like ALOT. I also added some peppers from our garden. I used jack cheese for Aaron, and vegan cheese for me. No, it's not as good as the real thing, but I'm trying to watch the fat!
