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.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

Thank you for sharing the recipe. I tried it yesterday for my daughterââ¬â¢s seafood theme birthday dinner. It turned out great!!! I did not change a thing. I wish that I could really rate the recipe a 100 on a scale of 1-10.

This was really really good. I did change the milk to cream ratio....I cup of 2% and 1 cup of cream. I also used artichokes instead of broccoli. Loved it.

This rocks! I've made it about 6 times now. I substituted a can of 2%evaporated milk for the milk and cream, steamed the broccoli for 3 minutes then added it to the saute pan with the shrimp and garlic.

I used 1lb. of fettuccine instead of angel hair, which was great. The broccoli should be steamed or boiled before. Another batch of sauce should be made.
