TABASCO® your food to get the most out of every bite!

This post brought to you by TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

Years ago, my college roommates used to accuse me of "marking" whatever I was eating with Tabasco sauce to keep them from helping themselves to my food.  I wasn't marking anything!  I was simply enjoying the layers of flavor that TABASCO® Original Red adds to all kinds of dishes.  Since those college days, TABASCO® Original Red has always been a part of my bag of tricks to liven up a main course, pasta dish or even a dip.

For example, TABASCO® enhances the flavor of pizza so that you taste more in the pizza!   Check out the Pizza Perfected page listing 10 yummy ways to doctor your pizza with TABASCO®.  The unique blend of salt, pepper and vinegar deepens a dish's own flavor rather than imposing a hot sauce flavor on the food.
Here's a great recipe for Spicy Garlic Panini Sauce from allrecipes.com:

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 1/2 teaspoon TABASCO®

1-2 teaspoons garlic powder (I use the 1 t to let the TABASCO® shine through!)

Directions:

1.	Stir the mayonnaise, hot pepper sauce, and garlic powder together in a bowl. Use immediately or keep refrigerated. (this sauce is great on plain old sandwiches as well!)

Since the Super Bowl is right around the corner, consider using TABASCO® Original Red to add some zest to the food you serve.  Check out the Game-Day Party Menu  at the TABASCO® site for some simple ideas and recipes.  Happy Eating!
