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.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.

I made this pie for a gathering of 8 adults and everyone couldn't stop talking about how delicious this was. I added chopped chocolate chips on top with the peanuts, and I swirled a little chocolate syrup on top of the chocolate ice cream layer. This was a real hit!!
