Add more flavor to food.

Double the amount of flavorings called for in recipes or add flavoring even when it's not called for.

  • Maple extract in cookies, lemon flavoring in pudding, etc.
  • Pep up dishes by adding chopped onion or garlic.
  • Add fresh or dried herbs to your vegetables.
  • Sprinkle on a little cheese, bacon, or butter flavoring.
  • Add fruit to meat as it cooks to add texture and flavor.
