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.

Super easy sweet and sour that you can throw together at a moment's notice. Whether you're using it to give fried chicken and pineapple a sweet glaze or just dipping some egg rolls, sweet and sour is always handy to have around.

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon red pepper sauce
Stir together all the ingredients in a bowl and mix until the sugar dissolves. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 1 week.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Not sweet enough as is had to add more sugar to balance out the tanginess but it could be the brand of ketchup that I buy because I know that some are quite a bit sweeter
