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.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

This was quite good. I used black soy beans instead of the kidney beans.
Chili was way too bland - needed more spices and vegetables and fewer beans.
I'm not the author, but I'd probably use about 1/4 of a head, chopped.
There is no cabbage listed on the ingredient list, yet it IS listed to add in the instructions. Please, author, add the cabbage to list of ingredients?!:)
