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.

My friend made this recipe for a Christmas party and it was awesome!!!! EVERYONE love it and raved about it!! I will definately be making this myself
I made this recipe and took to my granddaughter's Thanksgiving dinner. She works in one of Abuelo's corp offices and when she tasted the recipe she was amazed that I had found a recipe. Her comment was that it was even better than the restaurant, maybe a little spicier. I was asked to share the recipe.
