This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

I was so excited to try this recipe and it turned out just as good as I had hoped it would. Lots of great flavors going on in it with the spinach, mushrooms, and shrimp with the creamy wine sauce and all. I didn't expect to like the nutmeg in it but it gave it sort of a stroganoff taste which I loved! Thank you for such a great recipe!
