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.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
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.

I made these with a 22 month old and a 3 year old. They absolutely loved them. The dough is easy to work with and easy to roll (no sticking to the rolling pin). We even covered a few of the cut-outs with red sugar sprinkles to give away. Thanks for the easy kid-friendly "tart".
