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.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Been meaning to write this review for months now. This is an excellent eggnog. I absolutely loved the addition of cognac to it. It increases the cost to make it of course but it's outstanding. Also, in response to the review about it being too thick. I agree that you don't beat it like dessert topping but also letting it chill in the fridge should also "deflate" it a bit. It is still a thick eggnog because it's REAL eggnog, not the doctored up milk-like stuff you buy in a jug at the store. I highly recommend trying this recipe to anyone that wants a really amazing eggnog.

holy crap...it was thick!! maybe i'm just a beginner but wow... it had the consistanty of pancake batter!! haha! Not a good time!
: I'd beat the egg whites and cream less. The cream shouldn't be beaten like you are using it for a dessert topping, only until it begins to thicken.
