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.

It's the perfect combination of two classic desserts - cookies and ice cream. Sweet bits of chocolate chip cookie dough are nestled in creamy vanilla ice cream.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

My only issue with this recipe is the cookie dough. Standard issue refrigerated cookie dough contains large chocolate chips (regular size, that is). When you're eating this ice cream the chocolate chips are frozen solid and really make it difficult to eat. My suggestion is to find cookie dough that uses miniature chips or maybe even the chocolate chunk kind (assuming they are smaller than the regular-sized chips). Or even better, make your own cookie dough! The flavor was great and even the cookie dough tasted good, it was just hard on the teeth!
