Ok - here's my never revealed recipe for Hamburger Helper Lasagne - my way.
First chop some onion and garlic and saute in olive oil (in a large pot). Then add the ground beef, some seasoned salt, a small jar of pimentos and a tiny pinch (I'm talking tiny bit) of curry powder. Once the meat is cooked, drain the grease and add a can of diced tomatoes, a little basil and a dash of balsamic vinegar. Then substitute 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the water with wine (to suit your taste - more can be added later). I love the Almaden Blush Chablis - it's cheap ($5.99 for the big bottle) but has a very nice flavor for cooking almost anything. Perfect for Italian type sauces. Add the packet of seasoning and noodles, stir. Follow the rest of the directions. No one can believe that it's hamburger helper. I also make sure to have some shredded mozzarella and parmesean cheeses to top it. This makes an amazing meal with some cheesy garlic bread and a salad.
My secret - I'm not afraid to experiment. And I love good-tasting food. Try it, it's wonderful.

Surprise Meringues
These crisp, delicate cookies are light as a feather. Mini chocolate chips and chopped nuts are a delightful and yummy surprise in every bite. This fun dessert is a fitting finale to a big meal.
INGREDIENTS
3 egg whites
5 ml vanilla extract
0.4 g cream of tartar
0.8 g salt
150 g sugar
200 g miniature semisweet chocolate chips
30 g chopped pecans or walnuts
DIRECTIONS
Place egg whites in a large mixing bowl; let stand for 30 minutes. Add vanilla, cream of tartar and salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes. Fold in chocolate chips and nuts.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Bake at 250 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until firm to the touch. Turn oven off; leave meringues in oven for 1-1/2 hours. Remove to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

I cook some mean soups. See previous answers.
I also make a cheese and carrot flapjack. With secret ingredients.
My mother always has to leave the house when I make it in her place or she tends to eat half of it before it is ready to slice - quality control she says.

According to my family I make the best Chicken Vegetable soup there is. The secret is making the chicken broth and I will not reveal how I do that except to my daughters. Suffice it to say it is exceptional.

There is something from my country (Portugal) that for sure no one does better than me: "rolos de melaço"!! (spirals with honey) :D
It is a xtmas treat: fried, as every portuguese xtmas treat, but in the form of small spirals, with the help of 2 forks. This mixture has no sugar or sweet in it... but, in the end, you "dive" these spirals in a sweet and creamy misture of honey, sugar and cinnamon (still warm!)... hummm...
Too good!

Oatmeal cookies. I add Cinnamon and a dash on nutmeg. That really gives them a delicious and unique flavor. They also smell great while baking.
