Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.

Need an easy craft idea for the kids? This recipe makes a creamy finger paint that you can tint with food coloring as needed.

3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water
2 drops liquid dish detergent
1 cup boiling water
food coloring
Stir together the cornstarch and cold water in a bowl. Mix until smooth. Add the dish washing liquid and mix well.
While stirring, carefully add the boiling water and stir until the mixture thickens. Add the desired food coloring a drop at a time, mix well then let cool.
Store the finger paint in a container with a tight-fitting lid. If it dries out, add water a few drops at a time until it is rehydrated.

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 may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
