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.

cook's notes
Using Neufchatel cheese rather than regular cream cheese lowers calories and fat in recipes.
To soften Neufchatel quickly, stir it vigorously. Or, if you have a microwave oven, unwrap the cheese and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, uncovered, at HIGH 15-20 seconds.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
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).
