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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

This is one of those great never fail recipes. It is simple to do. My oven is a little off so I double the recipe and put the batter into three 8x3x2 aluminum loaf pans. Even with the oven set at 325 it tended to burn when I used a whole metal loaf pan. I always have someone who is requesting it. I found this in Oct. of 2011 and have made so many of these I can't count. I found that the corn syrup brushed on top while the bread is still warm puts a nice little glaze on the top. I have used both dark and light syrup with no real difference between the two. I like to have some of this in the freezer for when folks drop by. It will keep up to a month. This makes a nice "little something" gift.

I tried this recipe Sunday 12/2/07 I will have to give it a 5 star rating.I did not put corn syrup over it. It was really great without it.
