Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

A Great Bread! My familoy loves this bread -- especially with the cream cheese spread (their favor blueberry) on top. It is moist, rich, and really, really easy to make. Plus no special ingredients -- I usually have these pantry items on hand to make this if a last minute dessert item is needed. It scales just fine to make multiple loaves and it is great out of the freezer. Can you tell how much I love this bread! Five yummies from me.

I love making and eating this bread. It immediately becomes a favorite of everyone who eats it. I've been asked to make it for several functions. The difficulty rating needs to be changed so more people try it. It is not a level 3. It's a 2 at most for a beginner. It's so delicious don't anyone to be afraid to attempt making it!! Thanks.
A difficulty level of "3" means a completely average cook can prepare it without problem

I have used this recipe through the Christmas season and now into the summer! People ask all the time, when are you making that delicious bread! Today I am trying it with banana's.

Excellent, moist and easy. Made it with date mush (equal portions of dates and water boiled together to create a thick mush) instead of sugar. Amazing with cream cheese spread on it.

This was a fantastic bread that was not too sweet and delicious with the dates that tasted sugary and sweet. Not a difficult bread to make and I will be baking this throughout the holiday season.
