greek spice mix recipe

Behold the Greek spice blend recipe of destiny.

homemade cream of soup recipe

My kitchen tip for today is creating flavor cubes that allow me to very quickly whip up recipes that use cream of mushroom soup.  Not only is is WAY less expensive than using canned soups, but it’s a big space saver as well.  Twelve “soup starter cubes” take up very little space in the freezer!…
