Ingredients I always ignore the amount given in recipes:

Garlic, lime juice, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, chocolate chips, raisins. There's probably more.

    Always more with garlic. Calls for "2-3 cloves" means at least half bulb. On spice, I'll hold off if I'm cooking for others that can't deal and just leave that on the side when serving.

    I've put double the garlic a recipe called for before and it was still not enough. Who the hell are these people writing recipes for? Vampires? Or do recipe writers live in some place that has really strong garlic??

    Always double the garlic, at least.

    Unless the recipe calls for an absolutely egregious amount of garlic, I sometimes triple or even quadruple the garlic the recipe calls for. One clove is barely perceptible to me now.
