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!

The world is finally catching on to all the wonderful variety of grains available. Bulgar wheat is a particularly versatile one. Use it to thicken up soups and stews, turn salads into satisfying meals, or top it with veggies for a healthy grain bowl.

3 1/2 cups medium-grind bulghur wheat
1 1/4 teaspoon salt
7 cups water
Place bulghur in medium-size bowl. Bring salt and water to a boil, then pour it over the bulghur and stir briefly. Let stand until grains are swollen, chewy and almost all the water is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
Transfer to a fine-meshed sieve or a colander lined with cheesecloth and let drain for 10 minutes. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Prepare this cauldron-size batch of bulghur on the weekend and use it in various recipes throughout the week for casseroles, salads and soups.

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