Real maple syrup is expensive. I buy it when I can find it on sale, but I've noticed that the containers always have a wide lid.

This recipe calls for Ranch Style Beans which look like this in the can. You can find them on the bean aisle and they are fairly inexpensive. At the commissary you can buy them for about $0.65 a ...
How to Make Buttermilk
Several of you have asked if you can substitute milk for buttermilk in a recipe. You can, but it might not work. Baking soda reacts differently to buttermilk than to regular milk, so if your recipe has baking soda in it I wouldn't substitute unless necessary.
