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.

ingredients
1 pound Italian sweet sausage, remove skin
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 red bell pepper, roasted, sliced
1 jar (6 ounce size) marinated artichoke hearts
8 Kalamata olives, pitted & chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
6 plum tomatoes, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
4 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt
freshly ground black pepper
4 large French rolls
4 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
directions
Brown sausage slowly, rendering as much grease as possible. Submerge sausage in boiling water for 10-15 seconds to allow more grease to float away.
Saute mushrooms, onions, red pepper, artichoke hearts, olives, garlic in olive oil until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add tomatoes, Italian seasoning, basil and sausage. Reduce heat and simmer until it is of the right consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile, cut tops off rolls and hollow them out. Then place in 350 degrees F oven for a few minutes until crusts are crisp.
Fill each roll with sausage/vegetable mixture. Sprinkle Romano atop each roll and place under broiler just until cheese starts to melt.
Serve this alongside a green salad with Italian dressing* and a glass of Bardolino or Chianti.
* If you make your own Italian dressing, save the artichoke marinade to mix into the dressing.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
