This is the sweetest time of the year! Come late February, when daytime temperatures begin to warm yet the nights still fall below freezing, it’s time to tap the sugar maple trees—and maple syrup season officially begins. A short drive along our road illustrates the popularity of sugaring season in our region. Some homes have beautiful old galvanized sap buckets collecting sap. Other places, like ours, use whatever clean bucketlike item we can find, which is usually a juice or water jug.

Denser and not as sweet as cupcakes, muffins make a great breakfast on the go. You can pack them with fruits, nuts, or chocolate. The combination here tastes wonderful whether you're using fresh raspberries in season (when they're cheaper) or frozen raspberries. To enhance the flavor of your desiccated coconut, you could toast it lightly (for 5 minutes or so) while preheating the oven-but keep an eye on it as it does turn brown very quickly.

My grandmother (of UK origin) has been making these gooey, blondie-like English toffee squares forever-she calls them "brickle bars." I've fully plagiarized her recipe, so Ami, if you're reading this, please don't pursue legal action! I love to use my own homemade vanilla extract here-mine has been aging for two and a half years so far-but store-bought can be substituted as needed. This recipe was excerpted from 'Knife Drop' by Nick DiGiovanni. Buy the full book on .
