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.


3 cups sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups pecans
1/2  stick butter
Combine sugar, pecans and milk in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture forms a soft ball in cold water.  
 Remove from heat; add butter and vanilla. Beat by hand until mixture looses its gloss and starts getting thick. Drop quickly by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Cool

Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Do you roast your pecans before cooking with this recipe?
No, you do not.

Add a pinch of sugar to cut down on the extremely sweet taste. Butter the wax paper to keep pralines from sticking and then crumbling when trying to remove from paper.

Excellent-if this recipe hardens to quickly add a small amount of water and heat on low heat until it begins to melt again. Can continue to add water sm. amts.at a time and reheat, as long as necessary. Brings back memories of New Orleans.
