Posted by Alexandra C. | Thursday August 30, 2012

We all know that food is awesome. But what can make food even more awesome? Little tips and tricks that take a delicious meal to over the top deliciousness. I found 10 simple food combos, recipes and additions that you can make to bring a dish up to the next level of drool worthy. Are you ready?

#1: Make homemade mac n' cheese with gnocchi

Cheese, chewy pasta and all baked together. Think about it.

#2: Amp up your s'more

Substitute milk chocolate with white or even peppermint. Add peanut butter or a peanut butter cup. The possibilities are endless!

#3: Add peanut butter to ramen noodles

Sounds crazy, right? But apparently this trick takes an inexpensive pack of noodles and makes it taste like a million bucks.

#4: Roll ups for easy apps

I like to have a back up of easy, ready to go roll ups around. Add different cheeses and pop in the oven to get appetizers in a few minutes.

#5: Banana Dog

Banana and peanut butter gets a face lift with a hot dog bun and some jam, also a yummy treat for any little ones!

#6: Explore New Territories with Berries and Chocolate

Chocolate covered strawberries are great but I think that these options might be better. Plus, what could be easier than popping a chocolate chip into a raspberry?

#7: Sour Patch Grapes

Roll grapes in Jell-O powder for a tangy and healthy alternative to a Sour Patch Kid.

#8 Easy Peasy Belgian Waffles

Spread some crunchy peanut butter and marshmallow fluff onto a waffle, flip it into a sandwich and you have an excellent snacking or dessert option.

#9 Combine Salty with Fruity

It might sound a bit bizarre but salt and fruit is one of my favourite flavour combinations. Next time you slice up a watermelon, sprinkle some salt on it! Or, try some honeydew or cantaloupe melon with prosciutto.

#10 Bake Brie

Bust this out at your next dinner party to impress all your guests! Bake a wheel of brie, serve with honey or jams and bread or crackers.

It was a fun thing when I was younger, and I passed it on to my 3 year old daughter.. She loves it. We also do the "Banana Dog", which helps to get her eating her lunch! These are awesome tricks. Can't wait to test some out!
