1. 
   Better than BBQ Sauce!

   MIX a can of coke with ketchup, and then brush it over your ribs, chicken, or pork. You will be amazed at what a difference the Coke makes. These taste great on the grill. This is also good for little smokies!

2. 
   Sloppy joes with a kick.

   ADD one cup of Coke to your Sloppy Joe Mix, for a sweeter taste. Use diet coke to cut back on the calories. This is great if you are using your own seasoning.

3. 
   Your ham will be juicy and sweet.

   USE a can of Coca-Cola to baste your ham as it bakes in the oven. This will make your Ham really sweet. This is a traditional recipe that is many people's "secret".

4. 
   Raisins tend to dry out in the oven.

   SOAK raisins in the Coke before you bake them, and they will stay sweet, instead of using water. This is a great cooking tip!

   There are so many different recipes for chili.

   ADD a can of coke to your chili for a kick that will definitely make any recipe better. There's no wrong way to make chili!

6. 
   Try marinating it over night.

   MARINATE your chicken with coke. Cut your chicken up before hand, or poke holes into it to allow the cola to marinate properly. The chicken will be so tender.

   It is very moist!

   MAKE a Coca-Cola cake, there are many recipes available on the internet for this!

   Always!
