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.

Dates stuffed with gorgonzola cheese wrapped in bacon make a deviously delicious combination of sweet and savory, creamy and crispy.

24 fresh Medjool dates
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
12 strips thick applewood smoked bacon
24 toothpicks
Preheat oven to Broil.
Using a sharp paring knife make a slit down one side of the date and remove the pit. Take about 1 tsp worth of cheese and stuff the date in the empty cavity. Cut a strip of bacon in half crosswise. Wrap half a piece of bacon around the date and secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining dates using 1/2 piece of bacon per dates. Be sure and place toothpick so bacon will not uncurl as it cooks.
Place stuffed dates on a foil lined baking sheet. Place under broiler for about 10 minutes. Remove from oven when bacon is crispy. Drain on paper towels briefly then serve.
