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.

2 shallots
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound arborio rice
4 cups fish stock or as needed
4 ounces butter
fresh chopped herbs like dill, oregano
40 small mussels cleaned
8 large shrimp
salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
Saute shallots in oil till softened and add the raw rice and cook and stir adding 1/2 cup of stock at a time so rice is kept creamy while cooking.
Separately cook the shrimp in some stock. Season cooked rice with salt and pepper to taste. Blend in the butter. Add the chopped herbs to the rice. Add the mussels to the rice and stir and cook to cook mussels.
Sprinkle cheese into the rice.
To serve: divide and mound the rice on a plate. Add 2 cooked shrimp to garnish. Sprinkle with more grated cheese and chopped herbs.
Note: one can substitute another small quick cooking seafood (clams, lobster etc.) if they don't like mussels.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
