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.
If you're a fan of the menu at this American chain of restaurants which serves a variety of foods such as burgers, steaks, pasta, and seafood then you'll love this collection of copycat recipes.

I just started the South Beach Diet and wasn't thrilled with the lack of exciting recipes. Then I found THIS ONE! WOW! I can't believe this is diet-friendly for phase one it is so delicious. Instead of napa cabbage I used baby bok choy and I also added a sliced red bell pepper but otherwise stuck to the recipe as written. I have lost 10 pounds so far and have 20 more to lose and if I keep eating like this it's going to be the best and most succesful diet ever! Thank you for making healthy AND DELICIOUS recipes so accessible!
