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.

If brown sauce had a slogan, it would be "tastes better than it sounds". This beefy, buttery sauce works like gravy alongside meatloaf or mashed potatoes, or even as an au jus for sandwiches.

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
1 1/2 cup hot water
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When melted, whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently over low heat for 15 minutes or until the flour mixture is browned (not burnt).
In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together the bouillon granules and hot water. Mix until the granules have dissolved.
While stirring the flour mixture, slowly mix in the bouillon. Increase the heat under the saucepan to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and let cook for 30 minutes or until the sauce has reduced to about 1 cup of liquid. Stir the sauce frequently to make sure it doesn't burn.
Season the brown sauce with salt and/or pepper as needed before using.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
