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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This was good, not necessarily exotic, but quite good. And don't let the list of spices scare you off, the yogurt mellows the flavor out quite nicely. There is still lots of flavor but it's well balanced.
