Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
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.

Where can I get Lamb stock? What is a good substitute?
You can substitute beef stock, or a combination of half beef and half chicken stock. Both Knorr and Oxo make lamb stock cubes but depending where you live you may have to order them online as not all stores carry those flavors.
