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.

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 Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

It was good except there was to much bacon. Maybe try half a piece of bacon. You should also put cream cheese with the almonds. Every thing ekse was delicious. I especially like the flavors blended together in a perfect way. - The Food Critic

Just returned from Murcia, Spain where we had these in restaurant called Restaurant Rebate near El Mojon and Campoamor. They were served on a bed of lettuce as a starter - just divine. Can't wait to cook them myself! They also serve steak like nowhere else on earth, about 2 inches thick and melts in your mouth.
