What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

Slow-cooked Boston baked black-eyed peas come together with molasses and classic herbs. Perfect for those looking to try something hearty and unique.

1 pound black-eyed peas
1/2 cup molasses
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon sage
2 1/2 cups water
Examine and sort the peas. Add 6-8 cups cold water and let stand overnight (or for 6-8 hours). Discard water and rinse the peas.
Place the soaked peas in a crock pot. Mix the Molasses, Mustard and spices with about 1/4 cup warm water and add to the peas. Add enough water to cover and cook on Low setting for 12-15 hours or High for 6-8 hours.
Add water during cooking to keep the beans covered, but during the last hour or two, let the mixture thicken. Serve hot or cold -- it keeps in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
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.
