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
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 onion, sliced in rings
olive oil for frying
3 tablespoons olive oil, heated
2 tablespoons onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh oregano, chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 dash ground bay leaves
1 dash black pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sherry wine
1/2 teaspoon vinegar
fresh parsley, to garnish
directions
To make the mojo, mix onion and garlic, along with the spices, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add these to a pan which has heated olive oil in it. Cook just until onion becomes translucent and then add juice, water, wine and vinegar; simmer about 5 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Sauce yield: 1/2 cup.
To make the chicken, pierce meat in several places with long fork prongs and place in non-reactive (glass or stainless steel) bowl. Combine garlic and Mojo Seasoning Sauce. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Remove chicken breasts from marinade, pat dry and fry them in olive oil until they are golden brown. Place chicken on serving platter and keep warm. Remove onion and garlic from marinade and brown in same pan. Sprinkle over chicken and garnish with parsley.

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).
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.
