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.

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).
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

It was good except there was to much bacon. Maybe try half a piece of bacon. You should also put cream cheese with the almonds. Every thing ekse was delicious. I especially like the flavors blended together in a perfect way. - The Food Critic

Just returned from Murcia, Spain where we had these in restaurant called Restaurant Rebate near El Mojon and Campoamor. They were served on a bed of lettuce as a starter - just divine. Can't wait to cook them myself! They also serve steak like nowhere else on earth, about 2 inches thick and melts in your mouth.
