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
6 medium red potatoes, cubed
1/2 cup butter, melted and divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 cup salsa
1 lime, cut into wedges
directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with aluminum foil.
Toss potatoes with about 1 tablespoon of melted butter until coated. Arrange in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
Remove pan from oven and push potatoes out to the sides of the dish. Place the chicken breast halves in the dish. Stir together the remaining butter and lime juice. Brush onto chicken.
Return to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear.
In a small bowl, toss together the cheese, cilantro and salsa. Sprinkle over the chicken and potatoes.
Return to the oven for a few minutes, until the cheese is melted. Serve with lime wedges.

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.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
