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!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I occasionally bring in homemade treats for my coworkers. Since it's autumn now, I thought these easy-to-make "haystacks" would be appropriate and a nice change from the usual cookies. They went over pretty well, I would say!

I've been making this candy for my children since they were young and now that they are adults they still expect it every Christmas.
