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.

Make your own version of McDonald's Shamrock shake using ice cream, milk, mint extract or creme de menthe, and green food coloring

1 1/2 cup vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt
1/4 cup milk, more if needed
1/2 teaspoon mint extract or creme de menthe
3 drops green food coloring
Combine the ice cream and milk in a blender. Process on pulse mode for a few seconds to just start to mix the ingredients. Add the extract and food coloring and continue to blend until the shake is a uniform color. You can add more food coloring if desired for a darker green shake.
Serve in a tall glass.
Creme de menthe is alcohol so only serve that to the grownups.
