Pour Some Sugar on Me

Today, my family and I headed to a cabane à sucre in St. Eustache for a maple-syrup-soaked lunch. After getting pumped up in the car on the way there, we were ready to enjoy a feast of all-you-can-eat pea soup, coleslaw, ham, omelettes, sausages cooked in maple syrup, feves au lard, ice cream and crepes. (I won’t be eating dinner tonight). I hadn’t been to a cabane à sucre in years and I must say, it’s quite an enjoyable experience. It’s nice to be outside of the city for a change, where your only concern is whether or not to add maple syrup to your coffee. The answer is always add maple syrup. If you live in Quebec and haven’t been to à cabane a sucre yet this year, I believe you have until the end of the month to go – I would highly recommend it!

Now, if you're sick of the traditinoal cabane à sucres and want to step it up a notch, do yourself a favour and check out the Au Pied de Cochon’s cabane à sucre:  I'll let the video do the talking.

It's nap time! Have a great week :)
