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.

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).
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.

I used Fuji apples & huge yams - (they could cook the 45 min ok) Everyone at Christmas RAVED over this dish. I'm sending it out to them all. I also found that slicing up the yams before peeling worked better too.

My granny smith apples were too tart- perhaps just the apples soooo I added a crumble topping as if it were an apple pie -- equal parts sugar and flour and about 1/2 as much butter and crumbled it up and baked at 350 for 30 minutes. Looks pretty too!Might try this for thanksgiving also.

I boiled the potatoes for only 20 min. then added grated ginger, nutmeg, cloves and a dash of lemon juice.
45 Minutes is far too long to boil the sweet potatoes. They are too soft.
