Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
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 easy and delicious. DH loved it and said it reminded him of a dish he had in a restaurant. The only change I made was to substitute one can diced tomatoes for the fresh tomato and chicken stock. I also used whole grain rotini. What a great use for leftover ham! Thanks for the wonderful recipe; I will definitely make this again.
