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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
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.

OK...So I forgot to add the sugar and I am a very experienced cook and baker. But, it tasted great...I whipped up a butter cream/cinnamon frosting to make up for the missing sugar. I will definitely make this again with the sugar this time!!! Delish!

I like this bread very much but it is too sweet put less sugar about 1 1/4 cup. This is a keeper very moist, I also added some walnut and pecan and coconut and sprinkle oats on top.
Over the years I've tried every banana bread out there but this one is the best - even my husband says so. Next time I'd coat the loaf pans with a cinnamon and sugar mix.

This banana bread tasted wonderful but every time I made it, it wouldn't rise. I don't know if I mixed it too much, but other than the fact that it came out flat it was wonderful.

We made this recipe as mini muffins and they were yummy! Easily the best banana bread recipe I have tried.

Very easy to make, but if you plan to cut the recipe in half to make only one loaf it is very small. Next time I would bake it all in one loaf, very tasty though.

This is the best banana bread I've had! It is so moist with great texture. The only difference is I added a 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and decrease the cinnamon by 1/4 tsp. YUMMY!
