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

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.
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.

One of the best sugar cookie recipes ever! I've made this multiple times & everyone loves them! The dough is a little delicate so stick with basic shapes when cutting them out (like the heart, circles, etc.) but it is well worth it! They are not dry at all and have a wonderful flavor! don't skip the icing though.. it makes the cookie! :)
