Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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.

I made this cake and love, love, love it. It is very moist and rich. I thought it was quite easy to make and makes a very pretty presentation. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

This is always a hit! Instead of 1 1/3 cup water, I use 1 cup water plus 1/3 cup coconut milk. Heavenly!

Try this cake once and it will be a favorite for life! I make this for every Easter dinner and it always gets "Rave Reviews". You've got to try it! I've used less coconut in the frosting too to save calories and it's just as good. Enjoy!
