The Not So Secret Ingredient

Perhaps you have found yourself with some extra time on your hands over the past couple of months.

Perhaps that means you’ve been cooking up some extra special meals and desserts for the family. That would also mean you know how to cook. You can cook right? Of course you can. You just need to try.

Remember – there’s nothing wrong with having KD and wieners 4 days in a row IF those meals are complimented by a fabulous dessert!! My opinion anyway.

I’m sharing with you a family dessert favourite that my Mom made for us countless times – decades ago. I could never get over the ‘not so secret ingredient’ that was added to the mix. I used to cringe at the thought of mayo on or in anything. I also thought mayo was for salad only….and I was and still am not a salad kind of guy.

The first couple of times my Mom made the cake, no one told me about the secret ingredient. Had I known first off why my sisters were constantly smirking at me while I was enjoying the dessert I might not have finished it. Eventually I found out the ‘secret’. Was mad for a bit that they had tricked me but eventually got over it. After all this dessert….was heaven!!

So while we all have some time to experiment and get creative with meals and desserts – try something different. Share your ideas and recipes with others…..and let’s see if we can cut back on the KD and wieners to 3 days in a row.
