It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

This was incredible and simple. Taste similar and shares the same consistency of Trader Joes lentil soup (which really isn't soup at all). Absolutely loved it and I'd put money on it that everyone would!

This recipe was fabulous. I found the seasonings and cooking time to be perfect. I will be adding it my weekly meals. I liked it over rice.
