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.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I don't particulary like the sweetness of sweet potatoes. I found that in this recipe they did not taste sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. The lime may be the reason, but the lime also was not apparent as a obvious flavor in the dish. I will be making this in the future, but would like to adapt it using less calories.

This is the weirdest sounding salad and I almost passed it by but decided to give it a shot. I will definitley be making it again because there was not even a speck of it left. It was gone in minutes.

Have made this on a couple of occasions & have had so many positive comments. The only tweak I made to the recipe was adding some coconut essence as I thought that it needed that essential Hawaiian flavour without adding the calories of coconut milk, just adds another dimension..try it
