Maple Monday! Maple Roasted Butternut Squash

Ingredients
1 large butternut squash
3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoon melted coconut oil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon flaky sea salt
1/3 cup chopped pecans

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Prep the butternut squash by cutting it in half right above the wider part (the bulb). Cut the ends off, and then carefully cut the skin off using a sharp knife. You can also do this with a vegetable peeler, but sometimes the skin is a little too thick. Cut the bulb part in half, and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and insides. Cut the whole thing in to half inch cubes.

In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Lay the squash out in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Pour the oil mixture all over the squash, and toss it together with your hands to make sure all of the pieces are coated.

Roast at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Add the pecans for another 5 minutes of roasting time (making it 20-25 minutes total). If you have them in there from the beginning, they will burn.

Once roasted, remove from the oven, transfer to a platter and enjoy!

Maple Monday! Maple Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients (4 servings):
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper to taste
4 bone-in pork loin chops (7 ounces each)
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup c***r vinegar
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
2/3 cup packed brown sugar

In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add pork chops and turn to coat. In a large ovenproof skillet, cook chops in butter over medium heat until a thermometer reads 145°, 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and keep warm.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet, bring the vinegar to a boil. Reduce heat; add maple syrup. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually add to maple mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.

Maple Monday! Maple Pot Roast

Ingredients:
(1) Three pound chuck roast
Salt and pepper
½ cup flour
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large sweet onion, peeled and chopped
¼ cup Vermont maple syrup
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups chicken broth
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cups baby carrots
2 tablespoons butter, softened

Instructions
Preheat oven to 325. Add a pinch each of salt and pepper to the flour and dredge the roast in the flour mixture. Save the remaining flour mixture for later.
Put the oil in a large oven-safe Dutch oven and heat over medium high heat. Sear the roast on both sides for about 5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Add the chopped onion and sauté until starting to soften, about 2-3 minutes. Add the maple syrup and tomato paste and stir. Add the broth, parsley, mustard and oregano and stir again, making sure you get those flavorful bits off the bottom of the pot.
Put the roast back in the pot, bring the liquid to a boil and cover the pot. Transfer the covered pot to the preheated oven and let it cook for two hours. Remove and add the carrots. Cover the pot again and cook until the meat is tender, another hour or so.
When the meat is done, take it out of the pot and shred it into pieces (you can also slice it if you prefer!).
Mash the butter with 2 tablespoons of that flour we saved and add it to the Dutch oven. Bring the liquid to a simmer and stir until slightly thickened. Put the meat back in, stir until it is combined with that scrumptious gravy and serve!

Notes
Chuck Roast: This is a marbled, thick cut of beef that needs the low and slow heat of a slow cooker to make it nice and tender. It is sometimes labeled as pot roast. A brisket will also work well.

Onion: We love a sweet onion for this recipe, but any variety of onion will work.

Maple Syrup: Use the real stuff! There are all sorts of imitation maple syrups, but this recipe really shines when you use authentic syrup.

Carrots: You can use the regular kind or if you want to save a step by not peeling and cutting, baby carrots work well too.
