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.




1 cup creamy commercial peanut butter
1 can (14.8 ounce size) chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons chopped, peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Add the peanut butter to a heavy saucepan. Stir in the broth slowly until the mixture is smooth. Add the lime juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and crushed red pepper. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.

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.

Turned out to be a tasty sauce. Next time, I would probably cut back on the lime juice a little bit. It threw a "tart" note in there that I could have done without.
