It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

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

I wanted some comfort-type food and this fit the bill. It was very hearty and flavorful. I liked that it didn't use taco seasoning mix like a lot of the taco soups do. I also tried it with low fat cream cheese and fat-free half in half in place of the heavy cream. If you keep the heat low you can use the reduced fat products with success.
