"Growing up overseas while her father was in the Air Force stationed in Okinawa, Japan, Liz Carmouche was surrounded by military life from early age. 'The people in my life that I looked up to the most were Marines and they were everything I wanted to be,' says Carmouche.
"Carmouche joined the Marines in 2004 to find some direction in her life. She served for five years and became an aviation electrician on the Boeing Vertol CH-46 Sea Knight Helicopter, serving three tours in Iraq. During her time in the Marines, Carmouche never wanted to be the weakest link. 'I was always a gym rat. I was always wanted to be in the best shape. I always wanted to make sure that within my unit that I was never the weak person. So I made sure that my physical fitness was top,' says Carmouche."

Whatever your stance, here are 10 dessert recipes that all get their sweetness from one non-white-sugar source: maple syrup!

toxic or not, I'm always looking for ways to more gently appease my sweet tooth. so more of these compilations, please- especially honey recipes!
I quite like this shortcake from King Arthur:
No no no! How will I ever be svelte if you post delicious-sounding recipes with my all time favorite ingredient!
Maple syrup is my favorite sweetener, though it's so expensive. Love seeing more recipes using it I'd also love to see more baked goods using non-white-sugar sweeteners and more whole grain flours. It's tricky to find reliable recipes like that.
I LOVE Maple Syrup too and I use it in pretty much everything I do (from BBQ chicken to Cocktails, breakfasts and desserts, of course!). I prefer Organic Maple Syrup though as the taste is cleaner and better. If you are looking for great Maple syrup products, there is this cool site that's called Rouge Maple and they offer the best maple syrup I ever tasted PLUS a variety of gourmet products made of maple syrup (spices, mustard, salad dressings). And you can even adopt a maple tree!! Bon appétit!
Thank theKitchn for these recipes, I'm keeping all of the these. Like Claritygolden and Rosabel, I too am a maple syrup fanatic...I use it on everything and yes I do know the site mentioned above, www.rougemaple.com, in fact I recently bought their organic maple syrup and I won;t be buying my maple syrup anywhere else...its like no other I've tasted. As for the recipes above, I'm also a chocolate fanatic so the Chocoate Fudge and Self Love speaks volumes to me...chocolate & maple syrup? How could you go wrong?
