Cola Recipes?...Cola Recipes!

I never thought I'd see the day! You know I'm an avid fan of Coca Cola products, especially Cherry Coke. I received, in my mailbox a listing of recipes from a friend who heard that I was writing with Suite101.

He said he'd found something "to my liking" and boy, was he right. Here are some recipes made with...yep, that's right...Coca Cola as a chief ingredient.

I think it's the soda in the drink that plays a key role in the recipe, but that oh-so-subtle flavor of coke sure tingles. Also, instead of the regular, I used my all-time favorite Cherry Coke instead.
