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 salmon filets (6 ounce size)
4 ears corn (unhusked)
1/2 cup barbecue sauce
2 roasted poblano chiles, stemmed, peeled and chopped
1 cup corn salsa
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 bunches cilantro, washed and steamed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 cup raw pumpkin seeds, roasted in oven
1/4 teaspoon salt
directions
Cut tip of corn cobs off. Slit ear lengthwise, spread husk to expose ear and cut cob off near stem. Remove cob and all corn silk, being careful to keep husk in tact. Reserve corn for another use (like making corn salsa).
Baste inside of husk with BBQ sauce and place salmon filets inside each husk, wrap around to encase salmon. Prepare medium-hot mesquite charcoal grill.
Meanwhile, for spicy green chile pesto, place chiles, Parmesan, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, pumpkin seeds and salt in blender and puree until just blended.
Place salmon on hot grill and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side. Place salmon on plate, spoon pesto on top and sprinkle with corn salsa. Serve with seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes and garnish with lime.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
