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!

Josh makes great cocktails. Be like Josh. Use a top shelf vodka and real cranberry juice (not cranberry "drink") for what we're sure will soon be your new go-to drink.
4 ounces premium vodka
8 ounces Cointreau
2 ounces cranberry juice
2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
2 ounces club soda, lemon lime soda, or passion-fruit soda (more to taste or as desired)
Maraschino cherry or pineapple wedge for garnish
Pour your vodka, Cointreau, and cranberry and lime juice into a shaker with ice.
While that sits, pour soda into a chilled martini glass. I like to use a passion-fruit flavored seltzer, but any mildly flavored soda or even club soda will do. Shake the ingredients in your shaker and pour into the martini glass.
Garnish with a colored Maraschino cherry (I like to use the blue-colored ones) and/or a wedge of pineapple on the rim. Yum!

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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.
