Touch up your roots! Root vegetables are tuberous veggies where the edible portion of the plant grows underground. This would include potatoes, beets, carrots, parsnips, radishes, turnips, onion, garlic and yams to name a few.  These veggies generally have an inherent earthy sweetness to them that can either be enhanced with sweet spices and sauces or delightfully juxtaposed by savory spices, oils, and vinegars. Pure Birch Syrup, however, can lend semi-sweetness AND fruity tang which happens to taste delicious when layered with beets, carrots, parsnips and yams especially. This time we are going to keep things very, very simple to enable you to experiment...

If only coconuts grew on birch trees...Birch pairs well with all things fruit, and coconuts are no exception. The addition of Birch for Breakfast syrup directly to the batter in this recipe, pairs really well coconut and injects a fruity birch punch and smooth "just right" sweetness. These coconut pancakes are made with Gluten Free coconut flour and are so light, they are just perfect for a late breakfast on a Sunday morning, with room to have a regular meal at lunch time. 

Autumn and apples make perfect partners at a time of year when the apples are at peak season in Canada. Adding them to breakfast pancake recipes is a great way to sneak in a serving of fruit and add some excitement to breakfast, especially for the kiddos or when entertaining.

Baked brie is so easy and so delicious. It has staying power as one of the more decadent appetizers to appear at any party or friend get together, and you'd better dip your cracker in and get some because it disappears fast.
