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.

A good, basic pork roast recipe for the slow cooker. I prefer, however, to leave the fatty side alone on the roast so it keeps the pork more tender while it cooks.
