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.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

I was hoping for the same taste I got when I had my first crab melt on the Oregon coast, but missed it with this recipe. Overall, it was a simple one to make but lacked something. I did substitute the rye for an english muffin, maybe that was it. Id recommend this to anyone who wants an easy, decent crab melt. Still looking for my star though.
