I was not sure where to put this topic.

Anyway, I was thinking that there has got to be some of you with a creative touch in the kitchen. Please share some of the delicious recipes that you created or maybe even some non secret family recipes. When I find mine ill share too. Maybe even your favorite stuff, even if its odd.

For example one thing I add to my chili that might seem odd is is chocolate powder or hershey kisses. Not a lot, just a odd little trick I learned in a class awhile back. To me it pops out the tomato flavor a little bit.

I think this would fit better in Chit-Chat.

My favorite way to make hot chocolate is to combine milk (a generous cup) and Nutella (a tablespoon) in a saucepan or a small pot and simmer them together until combined.

I saw this apple pie the other day that looks like roses! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/open-faced-designer-apple-pie-102232

I don't know how creative I am when I cook, but I like weird secret ingredients -just a little bit of mustard (in stuff like beef stroganoff) -rice vinegar or lemon juice (in earthly stuff like lentil soup, Mom taught me a little acid can make it pop) -herbs (basil is a really good one) or macha powder in smoothies
