I received this tip from a friend: when making a big pot of vegetable soup, add flavor and fiber by stirring in a canned of refried beans. I use fat-free. No one ever guesses it's there, but it adds a bit of body to the soup.
DH always stirs mustard into chili. I make my own vanilla extract, have for many years (before the beans became ridiculously expensive!) and we love it. DH is allergic to almonds, so do not use almond extract. |
I have a few that I use:
Add 1 tablespoon white vinegar to pie crust dough. It makes it tender & flaky. Hamburger BBQ. Chop & add sweet dill pickles and/or some of the sweet dill pickle juice. It gives it a nice kick. Add a tablespoon or two of dark maple syrup to chocolate chip cookie dough. |

Will look forward to trying this, but first, I'd like to ask .... ... Do you adjust the sugar in the recipe? Or anything else? Thanks for the "sweet" idea! |

I have a bunch of food sensitivities and gluten is one. I've noticed that a lot of gluten free/healthy recipes use maple syrup as a sweetener. I really like it!
IOW maple syrup has nothing to do with flour/gluten. And if subbing for sugar, it's liquidity doesn't make for any easy switcheroo. Any thoughts? as to why it's showing up in gluten free ...... or pure coincidence?? Merry Christmas! |
I use a pinch of ground allspice or ground nutmeg (not both) in cream soups like clam chowder or potato soup
|
I put some kelp powder in a seafood stew, or Asian broth and twice baked, baking powder in homemade Asian noodle dough. Oh...and a pinch of curry powder in New England Clam Chowder.
