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.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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).

My husband loved this dish and was even asked for the recipe by someone at his office. I added some mango chutney on top when serving - added a bit of zing. Very easy to make!

Instead of the converted rice, I used brown rice, cooked separately. Then just stirred it in when the main dish was done. I'm not a very good cook. But, this dish is wonderful and easy.
