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.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

These cookies are really good and really easy. They are very refreshing! I didn't use the frosting though. I just mixed powder sugar and lime juice to make a glaze. I also omitted the nuts because I didn't have any on hand. I didn't miss them at all, but they might add a nice crunch. Overall the cookies are delicious!
