Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.

This is one of my favorite salt substitutes. I think it's the dry mustard that sets it apart and makes you forget you're not using salt. It's also just a good all around spice blend.
