Creating Meals that taste a little like heaven gives you a great feeling of accomplishment. Over the years my creativity has become more tasteful. My husband says there is no comparison even with the expert chefs. I have a knack as I get older to not rely on making my meals exactly as the recipe calls for but doing my own thing with it. It is amazing what you can do with a recipe and make it taste delicious but not quite like the original person has done.
I was afraid for years to experiment. What a big mistake that was. My family would have grown to like different things. My cooking is very simple without all the fancy things that chef's do, but are so delicious that you will eat it each meal and be very disappointed when there is no more. I usually can't recreate it the same way twice. This week I made a spaghetti sauce that is out of this world. These are some of the ingredients. Last time I used diced tomatoes this time crushed tomatoes created less liquid.
The problem with that is now I have to make a pizza with it as well. We made one from my spaghetti sauce before and it was so delicious that nothing compares to it now. It was the best pizza we have ever tasted!The spice combinations I use are so different and varied and I never write anything down. I did use two onions chopped as small as I could get them, a HUGE clove of garlic(I do mean huge), package of sliced mushrooms(I chopped), 1 lb of hot sausage and 1 lb of ground turkey, Mrs Dash original seasoning, Mrs Dash chicken seasoning, sprinkled little more red pepper flakes, black pepper mill to the cooking meats. It turned out wonderful.
