Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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.

This cake is absolutely fabulous. It is easy to make, slightly time consuming but not too bad. The taste of the cake is sooo good. The icing is also great. The two together are very rich, in my opinion this cake could feed alot more than 8 because you do not need big pieces at all. I have made it twice and both times, great!

I didn't make the cake, just the frosting for a spice cake. The only adjustments I made was adding 1 1/2 tsp maple and 1 tsp vanilla. Oh my goodness this frosting is fabulous!
