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

Exceptionally easy - I literally prepared this in my hostess' bathroom in four minutes. (Don't ask.) I diced up some maple smoked ham very fine and tossed it right into the fondue and served it with baguette rounds and broccoli florets. The crowd seemed to enjoy it, but I found it just the eensiest bit bland and hence the four. Next time I want to try some paprika, or perhaps some garlic. Still, wonderfully creamy texture.

I have made this a couple of times for a party and it is wonderful. It is so much easier to make than any other recipes I could find because it only requires 1 type of cheese, which is also easier on the pocket book. I highly recommend this.

Excellent. The kids loved it. I used 1.5 cups cheddar and .5 cup combined gruyere and swiss. To make it tangier I would add a bit more mustard and worcestershire sauce next time.
