8 ways to add homemade flavor to your meals

advertisement

A streamlined menu plan saves you money. But preparing and serving the same meals can get dull quickly. A few ingredients stored in your pantry will add flair to your dinner rotation. As a bonus, they don't cost much when you consider how many uses you can get from each item and the difference they make.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

......Karen from Kansas, shares: "For a new 'taste' for French toast, use liquid-flavored coffee creamer and eggs. We like Hazel Nut! I use three of the individual creamers to one egg. A friend gave me a box of the individual creamers because she didn't like them. She knows I'm frugal and will find a use for nearly anything."

If you have a secret ingredient that you like to add, share it.

I put my different bbq sauces on a lot of things. I have one that I just made that goes great with bologna sandwiches. It is so new that I haven't put it in the computer yet. I also have one that goes great with meat loaf.
