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.

We had a sudden downpour so I had to broil these instead of grilling. The broiling instructions worked great and the food was done perfectly. I think a lof of the flavor might depend on the brand of teriyaki sauce you use (I would have made my own if I had the ingredients on hand). I used a really good gourmet type brand not a store brand (can I mention brands here?) and I think that really made the recipe even better. It was so simple to assemble and we all loved it.
