This make-ahead lemon-mint syrup is a great way to have a refreshing drink on hand at all times. It's the perfect blend of sweet and tart.

ingredients
1 cup fresh mint leaves, packed
2 cups sugar
2 cups water
1 lemon peel, thinly sliced
4 lemons, juiced
directions
Gently bruise the mint leaves using the back of a spoon.
Combine the sugar, water, lemon peel, and mint leaves in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thick and syrupy.
Let the simple syrup cool, then strain out the mint leaves and lemon peel through a fine mesh strainer or several layers of cheesecloth.
Transfer the simple syrup to a covered jar.
Add the lemon juice to the syrup, cover the container, and shake well to mix. Let the mixture stand overnight in the refrigerator before using.
To make lemonade, add 1-2 tablespoons of the lemon-mint syrup to a glass. Add water or club soda and ice, to taste. Garnish with lemon slices and fresh mint, if desired.
The lemon-mint syrup also works well in cocktails.

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.
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.
