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.

With just a few pantry items like sugar and cocoa powder, this water fudge recipe is a delightful reminder that homemade treats don't have to be complicated.
2 cups granulated sugar
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
3/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup butter, cut into bits
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and water in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook until the sugar dissolves and it is it a rolling boil.
When boiling, add the butter. Cook until the mixture reaches 234 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Add the vanilla extract and beat vigorously for 5 minutes or until the fudge thickens.
Pour into a pan lined with buttered foil or drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until firm.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
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.

This was the recipe my grandmother always used. I've been looking for it forever! Using peanut butter instead of butter made it just like Grandma's!
