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.
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.

This was delicious and refreshing! The dressing ingredients were perfectly balanced, with just enough sweet, spicy, and tart notes to compliment the corn, spinach and mushrooms. The fresh ginger was key, adding a bright, fresh edge to the warm chili powder. For this occasion, I doubled the ingredients and added a can of drained, rinsed black beans, which gave the dish more visual and textural contrast. I also used fresh baby bella mushrooms instead of jarred; they were delicious after marinating in the dressing. The quantity of dressing is generous; I found it made enough to amply coat and season twice as much spinach called for (leftovers!). I think this could be a very versatile recipe, and plan to experiment with different combinations of ingredients to mix with the dressing, such as jicama, carrots, shrimp and chicken.
