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.

Don't fear the frozen veggies. This is an easy way to bring them to life and have a flavorful side dish in a pinch.

1 pound frozen broccoli, cauliflower, and carrot medley, or your favorite combination
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley or salt-free herb blend
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Coat a 9x13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and place the frozen vegetables in the dish. Sprinkle with the salt and herbs and toss to mix well. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss to mix.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until steaming hot and tender. Serve hot.

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!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

This turned out ok. The vegetables were tender but it's a pretty basic recipe.

I fully admit to keeping some frozen vegetables on hand for an easy or last minute side dish. However, out-of-the-bag they are usually quite lackluster. This recipe really does dress them up nicely. The seasoning is simple but really that's all they need. The cooking process I think is what really helps perk them up. They aren't dried out or watery like frozen vegetables can often be.
