The simplest way to make a boring meal taste fancy

Posted: Sep 23, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

It's so simple, so why don't we add flavor to butter or margarine every single time? One Christmas morning, I sprinkled vanilla powder and shredded some orange peel into our butter that was to be spread on our banana bread. My life has never been the same.

Add cinnamon, orange or lemon zest, vanilla (or other flavored extracts) to room temperature butter before you spread onto toast, banana bread, english muffins, pancakes, waffles, or bagels. Use as a dip for french toast sticks.

For use on dinner rolls, bread sticks or other hot bread, add garlic, onion salt, parmesan cheese, chives, and a seasoning to your butter which I will reveal in another upcoming article entitled, "The Best ingredient in the World"


If you spread seasoned, flavored butter on any sandwich, (turkey, grilled cheese, roast beef, chicken or ham), and then broil it? It gets all brown and bubbly, and you will lay awake, silently praising yourself for what a great cook you are. (This has actually happened to me)

The back of a small spoon works best for blending. Keep in a small tupperware or margarine tub.

Now, I will reveal to you one of the best ingredients in the world!

"Lipton Recipe Secrets Savory Herb With Garlic Soup Mix"...Oh, it's a secret, alright. Such a secret that you can't even find it, except on Amazon. You can buy it for about $17 for a case of 12. Oh, you will use it all. My case lasts about 6 months. Nearly every recipe I make is better when I add this seasoning. Forget that it's a soup mix. WHO would actually eat garlic soup? No thanks.

I first discovered that adding it to butter with some parmesan cheese, made garlic bread so good that I didn't even want my steak. If I add some to tuna, it takes me back to the year 1978, when "Tuna Twist" was still available, the finest tuna additive known to man.

It makes alfredo pasta, spaghetti, and mexican dishes taste so much better. You can whisk it into melted butter and pour it over popcorn. Use it in your sandwich butter, and even on a cold sandwich, it tastes really good with lettuce. Add to casseroles too.

    How can two people use the same chocolate chip cookies recipe and get very different results? Why is it that you always use the same chocolate chip cookies recipe but one time they are chewy and the next time they are crispy? The answer is probably in the shortening. There is a big inconsistency in shortenings. If you want the same results each time, you must use the same shortenings. If you want the same results each time, you must use the same shortening for each recipe every time.

    I visit a farmer's market at least once a week. On one particular visit I had an argument with a vendor over her homemade cookies. She offered a sample which I happily accepted. She went on tell me the ingredients of her cookie. I then asked if it was an all butter cookie. She answered no, that it was a shortening cookie made with zero trans fat shortening. This made my blood boil. I told her that I wished I would have know before I tasted the cookie. A debate followed...

    I feel it is impossible to go out looking for cologne or perfume without the benefit of some starting point. You can smell two at the most, and after that you are not able to make a choice based on what you are smelling.
