I have two SIS tips for you this week.  

Tip #1:  Add 1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice mix to your favorite whipped cream recipe to add some extra pumpkin spice flavor to your pancakes.  

Tip #2: Thick your warmed maple syrup with Instant Clear Jel. This is my favorite way to thicken liquids.  Simply add 1/2 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.  Mix until thick and smooth.  Then add the mixture to 1/2 cup of warm maple syrup,  serve and enjoy. (Instant Clear Jel can be purchased on Amazon.)
