Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
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.

I love the nutty flavor of basmati rice. Combine that with the cardamom and other spices and you have a truly flavorful dish. Very easy to prepare too.
