Answers:
Believe it or not, it is my meatloaf!. It turns out so moist and full of flavor!. There are 2 secrets I will share with you!. One is the combination of bread crumbs and romano cheese, this lends to the right consistency!. I think the problem with meatloaf is that sometimes people make it to dry but when you use the right ingredients and obtain a semi-firm product, turns out great!. The other secret to this, is the glaze on top!. Adds a bit of sweetness to the dish, not to much just the right amout!.

I like to bake a lot! put a little extra vanilla in your cakes!
with pie crusts, put some egg yolk on it before baking, it will make it glossy!
with all recipes follow exactly what the recipe says to put in and what to add first etc!.!.!.
if you put to much salt in a soup or something alike, put a peeled potato in and it will absorb the salt!
p!.s!. you can also put a small marshmallow at the bottom of your ice cream cone (when ever you next have one (o: )Www@FoodAQ@Com

Nutmeg in sauce sounds like a brilliant idea!
I love to add either 1/4 tsp crushed instant coffee to my brownies (just put the granules in the palm of your hand then crush with the index finger of your other hand to a course powder) - or - 1/4 tsp cinnamon to brownies makes for a hint that most people can't quite name!.

Add a little nutmeg to your spaghetti sauce even if you buy it in the jar!. It gives a a little kick and you wonder what is in the sauce that makes it so good!. also try to incorporate toasted pine nuts in your sauce, salads etc etc etc!. Purchase them raw and toast them yourself by heating them in a skillet until golden brown!.
