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.

I had this at a B&B about 12 years ago. I begged the owners for the recipe and I have served it for Christmas morning and when we have guests in the morning. I have had nothing but RAVES from everyone and always requests for the recipe! I have tried it with maple syrup rather than the apple cider syrup, but the apple cider syrup is just so special, that I will only serve it with that! This is always a HUGE hit! I have stopped cubing the cream cheese and I now briefly microwave it and spoon it...much easier. It's our FAV!
