As I have said before, I have been cooking a vegan/vegetarian meal once a week.  I really have enjoyed shaking up our dinner entrees. This week’s recipe is for Snobby Joes, which are the meatless version of Sloppy Joes. As I was reading the recipe, I noticed an ingredient that made me raise my eyebrows. Maple syrup.

I was extremely unsure about adding it to my joes, however, I went along with the recipe and it tasted great –in fact I did not detect any mapley flavor.  Next time I make these, I will “make them my own” by adapting the recipe for my flavor preferences, I found them to be a little too tomatoey, and I like tomatoes.
