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.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This vegetarian chili con queso was good. I think next time I will not use so many beans, for me personally it was a bit starchy. But the flavors blended together wonderfully and was perfect when topped off with the Monterey Jack Cheese and cilantro.
