Corn, roasted red peppers, and basil give the quinoa a wonderful flavor. It works on its own, on top of some spinach as a light lunch, or as the base for a sliced chicken breast.

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.
