A treat for the olive lover! Ripe olives are made into a paste with pine nuts, olive oil, and garlic and spread on toasted slices of French bread. The olive paste also is amazing as a spread on sandwiches or as a dip.

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.
