You can add any kind of dried fruit, cranberries, craisins. You can add orange zest. Or use almond or coconut extract instead of vanilla. The dough freezes well.

Can be served with any protein or fish. You could use parsley instead of cilantro. Could use any citrus, orange or lemon as well. Great with pork tenderloin, or pork chops __ sear off the pork loin and finish in a 350 oven.

1/11/2013 — I did a bit of a variation on this, adding a chopped up yellow pepper, and used a red cabbage as that was all I could find in the crisper and I was a little shy on the cabbage; I also added some carrots, and used veg stock instead of the beef (Rachel Rays is the best) and cooked it on the stovetop for an hour at HIGH. Elyssa especially like it. And I used the Chicken, Garlic, and Dried Tomato sausage from Whole Foods.

12/6/2012 — I cooked navy beans the day before, and then cooked it with all the other ingredients in the crockpot 0n High for about 3 hours. I also ran out of regular maple syrup so I used some of the sugar free.

21 Oct 2012 – Didn’t have zucchini so used an apple and a carrot. Used palm sugar, and apple butter instead of the agave. And I forgot the canola oil, but they still were quite tasty!
