Secret Ingredients

I put a bit of lime juice in all my mexican food - doesn't matter what it is, burrito's, enchiladas, tostadas, salsa, guacamole... - a bit of lime always jazzes it up.
My fav seasoning is Creole. I throw it on everything! But I have secret ingredients for all sorts of stuff. Mayo in cakes (makes them moist), Nutmeg in spicy food, lemon juice (instead of vinegar/pickle juice) in potato salad... I'm full of them....

On another note, if your fam loves lemons I have the BEST lemon chicken recipe...

So....
What is it? Chicken is another of our favorites. Any kind of chicken!

This really sounds good and I think I will be trying it this week. If not I KNOW that I will make it next week!
I will let you know how it goes, but I am pretty sure that it is going to be a huge hit!

I sub almond extract for the vanilla in my oatmeal cookies, and lemon extract for sugar cookies. Next time you make spaghetti, add a dash of cinnamon to the sauce, really just a dash, you will be pleasently suprised.

Yeah- let me know what you think. It was a big hit here and has been requested by my 9 year old already.
I have done the cinnamon to sauce Ruchele and your right! It is awesome. I also like a bit of brown sugar - spaghetti sauce and asian sauce...

With screw drivers its not always the brand of vodka you use. Vodka is meant to be pretty clear and tasteless. So you don't have to go grey goose or belevader. You can just by the regular vodka.

but the special ingredient is organic orange juice. Like noble. It;s so tangy and great it makes a screwdriver taste like a million bucks. Also to note nobles plastics are made out of 100 % corn and they biodegrade in 100 days.

Kick up your spagetti sauce by adding a little red , or cayanne pepper.

When I make chicken salad sandwiches from left over grilled chicken from the night before my sauce is 2/3rds mayo and 1/3 rd regular spicey mustard. add to that a dash of German spicy mustard, pepper and a small amount of oregano. combine with chicken and diced onion and, green pepper.

Next time you make burgers put a little pocket of butter in the middle. It will make it very juicy and favorful/ ( Of course this isn't for those dieting)

Missing the sweet element in your spicy chicken rub, add a little bit of brown sugar.

Ditto on the lime with mexican food. Lime juice is what makes an awesome guacamole.

I like to add almond extract to sugar cookies.

Brown sugar added to fresh red chile sauce is also good.

Cinnamon and sugar (just a bit), diced apples and almond slivers to chicken salad.

Ditto on cinnamon. I add it to my chili recipe. Just about a tsp or more if it is a larger batch. My friends adds' some chocolate to her chilli. I think part of a hershey bar. It has always tasted good to me.

I always switch out vanilla extract for almond in frosting, cakes, ice cream. People won't know exactly what it is but it will make everything taste amazing.

Fresh nutmeg. I put it in tacos, desserts, rubs for fish and chicken. It's got this fantastic aroma, but doesn't overpower whatever you are making.

I have a new one too - Truffle salt. I went to a dinner party on Friday night and they used truffle salt in the sauce for the chicken and on the bread. It was amazing!
