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

The flavor was excellent but we're giving this recipe a 4 for presentation. The 2" pieces of chicken seemed odd - like the chicken breast halves should have either been left as larger pieces, or else the chicken should have been cubed smaller. We also thought cheddar was an odd cheese pairing - monterey jack or swiss seemed a more likely choice (but the cheddar was good). A more formal serving suggestion: prepare individual ramekins with the spinach layer; then top with finely cubed chicken, etc.
