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 used shiitake mushrooms in this recipe but it would work well with your basic button mushrooms if you can't get fresh shiitake. Our only complaint was that the recipe made very small portions if it indeed serves 4 people. The flavor was excellent and this would be a great side dish to a variety of entrees (chicken, pork, beef, etc)
