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.

cook's notes
These freeze beautifully after baking. To serve, place frozen bites on microwaveable tray for 1-2 minutes. Or place on ungreased baking sheet in 350 degrees F oven for about 8-10 minutes.

I made a recipe of 48 4 days before my party and froze them. I put them in the oven as instructed and they came out beautifully. they were gone in minutes. Since I had 50 people, the fact I could freeze them in advance made my life easier.
