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.

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).
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.

Okay- the sauce does not need a cheater thickening agent! I used light brown sugar, instead of white sugar- and instead of food coloring, I used a pinch of saffron! I substituted teriyaki sauce for the soy sauce- and the end result was awesome! And it WAS thick enough, be sure to simmer it long enough, stirring quite a bit! Just a suggestion; use garlic and green onion in your chicken recipe. :-)
