April's Meal Plan

April...there is still snow out there, but we are tapping our maple trees so we can cash in on that sweet sap! Today was a nice sunny day over 32 degrees and the sap started to flow. It tastes like sugar water without the guilt. We will take advantage of this bounty by boiling some hot dogs in the sap...and we shall call them maple dogs. It's a once a year kinda treat, ya know. We will also make some maple beans, a tradition this time of year. Wish us luck!
