Doctor's Orders - Pepper!

I'm always looking for an unusual flavor to add to my recipes and there's no place like the Web to find just that. You probably read my cola recipes article a couple of weeks ago. Well, I found a great site last week between coffee and surfing that fits the unusual bill perfectly.

Yes, you've simply got to visit the Dr. Pepper Recipes site I found!

It's got tons of recipes that use the oh so unusual Dr. Pepper as one of their chief, twisted ingredients! Categories include Beverages, Breads, Desserts, Salads, Vegetables, Meats and Miscellaneous.

I of course have included the meats section below for some really yummy stuff that you can try out at home. Do check the site and these recipes out.

I tried out the Polynesian Chicken and found that it works perfectly well with Cherry Coke (my favorite) as well!
