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.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I am very sorry to say that this is the most LACKING "from scratch pumkin pie recipe that I have ever seen. The author sompletely left out instructions on how to make the pastry, and how to get the pumkin from the fresh state, to the mashable state. Anyone using this recipe for the sake of making it from scratch for the first time, I'm sure will be frustratd and dissapointed.
I believe the author assumes you are either using a purchased unbaked pie pastry or using your favorite recipe (hence the reference to preparing as directed). The pumpkin information does leave a little to be desired I agree, but I noticed the other day the sugar pumpkins in the store had cooking directions stuck to them so perhaps the author's experience had been in using produce that contained similar instructions and didn't think to include them.
