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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

These cookies were easy to make and delicious!!! I only had a half tablespoon of lemon zest, but that was okay. I also cut the ginger in smaller pieces and had to bake for about 10-12 minutes (vs 7). They came out nice and brown on the bottom, crispy around the edges and soft in the center. Only yielded 2 dozen, but still good! Will definitely use again.
