Hmmmm......I know I use some more packaged items that I can't think of at the moment......
Hot and sour soup packages (that I fix up)
Idaho packaged mashed potatoes ( I hate instant potatoes ~ these are pretty good  )
Tom Yum soup paste is a good "fake out" starter for Thai soup |
I didn't see this post. Haven't tried the Idaho potatoes, for some reason I hate making mashed potatoes, but didn’t care for the brands I’d tried. So will definately try this, my oldest son loves mashed potatoes.

Haven't tried the Bertoli either, so thank you. We probably should do a separate thread, I don't want to hijack yours, but I was just curious because good cooks, really can understand the differences in packaged foods, and you strike me as someone with sophisticated taste buds, I just want to be able to take a few short cuts now and then and still have a meal I can be proud of.
