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.

Add an extra layer of deliciousness to your desserts with this rich, shiny chocolate glaze.

2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup butter, cut in bits
Combine the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling, water. Stir constantly until melted.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Pour the glaze over a layer of icing on a cake or over cheesecake or other firm dessert.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

the glaze is beautiful to work with, just remember to wear something over your hand, no need to have burns from the steam.
