What are some standard, common dishes that you have changed or adjusted to make them even more tasty?

Over the weekend, I had mac n cheese made with spicy cheese. What a great way to perk up an old favorite. I’d like to try your version though. Sounds yummy.

In taco salads, I use ranch dressing instead of sour cream.

I always put Rudy’s BBQ Sause in my meatloaf and stuffed green peppers. Gives them a good kick.

Pesto in deviled eggs, topped with a little slice of sun dried tomato.

Beer in chili and corned beef dishes.

Jessica Seinfeld taught me to purée just about anything and make ice cubes out of it. I have little bags of butternut squash, sweet potato, beet, cauliflower… You name it… In my freezer. I drop those cubes in everything. Mac n Cheeze, pancakes, mashed potatoes, soups. They’re little shots of nutrition you’d never know were there. Very handy with picky eaters.

I put curry powder in when deviling eggs, or when using chicken salad.

Since I am opposed to eating veal, I make piccata with turkey slices.

So far, I’m loving these answers!!!

This week, I made Joe’s Special with ground turkey rather than ground beef. I thought it was even better than the original. I first had this dish at 13 Coins Restaurant in Seattle late after a date.

The other day people were talking about frying cheese and for mothers day I made fried sharp cheddar cheese egg tacos. I fried the cheese into taco shells and filled them with scrambled eggs with diced Canadian bacon and garden fresh chopped chives and they went in an instant! Very yummy.

I cut up (in cubes) frozen bacon,fried lightly ( soft bacon stage) , added fresh garlic and diced onion,topped with Montreal Steak spice ( dehydrated vegetables/garlic/red bell pepper/rosemary/mustard), added parsley just a minute before serving with Pyrogy (potatoe and cheese),topped with sour cream and a dash of pepper.

Next time I will prepare above but with Ukrainian Red Borsch Soup
( Szafran original Polish Soup) in a jar .
Ingredients…Water/chicken broth/beets/white kidney beans/cabbage/potatoes/carrots/potatoe starch/sugar/salt/spices)

I have not tried this yet but look forward to it.
A grocery store which stocks foodstuffs from around the world has this on there shelf, available for us to try.

I put cumin in my potato salad and also put some cumin with butter and herbs in cooked carrots.

I put sriracha on just about everything. We have stopped cooking “regular” meals and basically take what is healthy, on hand and improvise. After a while you just have an intuition about what will be good together. A little coconut milk here, a bit of curry there, some hot peppers, a pile of vegetables, fresh basil and cilantro from the garden add chicken…..

BBQ on the other hand is a more exacting science.
