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.

cook's notes
To toast seeds, spread on ungreased baking sheet and place in preheated 325 degrees F oven for 5 to 7 minutes, checking and stirring often to prevent burning.
You can also toast them in a skillet over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently; or in a microwave on high, 2 1/2 to 4 minutes (stirring after 2 minutes).

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
