Last week we had our usual family favorite… “Built Your Own Soft Taco/Burrito Night” – The kids love it… and I love it because they always seem to eat best when they make the food themselves
I made sure to cook some extra ground Turkey — that we spiced just enough to make it have a great mexican food flavor. (You can even use one of those Taco seasoning packets from the store!)… Two nights later, I pulled the leftover meat from the freezer – and heated it up along with a jar of spaghetti sauce. It simmered for about 30 minutes before we poured it over the noodles… YUMMY! Just enough kick… everyone loved it!
We did this a couple of years ago when we made dinner for a couple of nights while staying at my brother’s house… everyone wondered what my secret ingredients to the sauce (they knew we had used jar sauce). They couldn’t believe that it was the left over meat from the taco night that made it taste so great!
Do you have a secret way to make something ordinary have some zing?
