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!
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.

This sauce was just what I was looking for. Vinegary, with a touch of sweet. Perfect.!

Don't let the sweet name throw you off as this is a really good bbq sauce with just a sweet touch to it. I didn't find it overly sweet or anything and it had good bbq flavors. Used this on both ribs and chicken on the grill last weekend and everyone loved the flavor. If you grill with it though don't put it on too early as it will burn because of the sugar content. We put it on the chicken a little too soon and it got pretty dark but still tasted good. We waited with the ribs and they were excellent.
