Fun Time! What secret ingredient do you add to typical dishes/recipes?

<p>Redbug:</p>

<p>After reading your suggestion, I got ground beef/veal to make hamburgers tonight! I’ll add some bar-b-que sauce and everything else and even some trader joe’s frozen spinach, which I add to everything! Yum…my kids have been asking for hamburgers for awhile…tonight is the night! :)</p>

<p>My mom used to add half an envelope of Lipton Onion Soup Mix to hamburger meat before cooking…just kind of mushed it all in.</p>

<p>mom2-
I’ve been travelling, but I will look for the coffee cake recipe VERY soon. I promise!</p>

<p>When I had a rice cooker ( mine died sometime ago- open to replacement suggestions), I often made sticky rice & ate it with umeboshi plums or rice vinegar & toasted sesame oil.</p>

<p>I even used to drink apple cider vinegar in water- I actually liked it ( but I don’t think it is that great for your teeth)</p>

<p>[I&lt;/a&gt; recently read this article & was inspired to pick up some fig vinegar at the grocery.](<a href=“http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/allyoucaneat/2014242013_vinegar_a_million_uses_culinar.html]I”>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/allyoucaneat/2014242013_vinegar_a_million_uses_culinar.html)</p>

<p>I ate it with cavatappi & cheese & sliced fuji apples on the side. :)</p>
