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.

Cornmeal thickened up like grits can be a delicious and satisfying breakfast with a bit of butter or some jam and walnuts.

1 cup cornmeal
1 cup cold water
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups hot water
Combine the cornmeal and cold water in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the salt and hot water over high heat. Bring to a boil.
Stir the cornmeal mixture into the boiling water and mix quickly. Bring the mixture back to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Let the cornmeal mush simmer for 10 minutes or until thickened.
For a sweeter cornmeal, stir in a little sugar (to taste). Serve with butter and shredded cheese or maple syrup.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Pro tip: Add a teaspoon of baking soda, they will cook faster and be creamier. Also works for grits!!

This is an excellent filling breakfast .... be aware it is a mush but absolutely delicious served with a dollop of organic butter and maple syrup! Gives me energy for a morning of exercise. Also a good breakfast if you are trying to lose weight.
