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.
Make your mornings a little less hectic with these overnight breakfast recipes. Prep the night before and enjoy a warm, comforting meal in the morning.
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 is a recipe that was born in Mexico City. The name of the Restaurant was Los Comerciales and we iniciated this fabulous dessert. Mr Abel Garcia was the manager and we came to California and introduced the Deep Fried Ice Cream with the chain of El Torito Restaurants. The concept was called "Who song and Larry's Cantina". The firts place of this theme, in La Jolla California. Sincerely, I am glad someone has posted the recipe for everyone to enjoy. It is great!! Congratulations I recommend it to anyone. Be careful when you do the Deep Frying.
