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.

These are just delicious! I added nuts to the cookie dough which gives the cookies a little added interest. Otherwise, I wouldn't change a thing!

The cookies themselves were to me a little bland. The icing really made them tasty though. This is not actually and "icing" recipe though, it is more of a "glaze". Would be good with maple flavoring substituted for the vanilla.

I was looking for a new banana recipe, since I am a stay at home mom, with 3 growing boys, and always seem to have banana's in the house! All the boys loved this recipe! I tweeked the frosting a little, by adding a pinch of nutmeg, a pinch of allspice, and a 1/2 tsp of cinn. I think it made it taste better!

I have been baking a variety of cookies to take to bingo every week, and these have been the biggest hit. All of my friends prefer these over any other cookie that I have ever made. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe.
