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.

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!
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).

This is a little more work than the regular way of cooking couscous in boiling water but using this method each grain gets fully plumped up and is very tender. When I have time, I will be cooking it like this again (but it takes nearly an hour whereas regular couscous only takes about 6-7 minutes).
