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.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.

My neighbor gave me dried lavendar and I had no idea what to do with it but she said to use it in something baked. The cookies were sooo good and buttery and delicious.

These delicate, buttery cookies were amazing! My family ate them right off the pan and I could barely get any onto the cooling rack. I added a drizzle of lavender icing (confectioner's sugar, lavender, and milk). They spread so much I could only put a few on the pan at a time when cooking, but they were crisp and perfectly browned. A great use of my culinary lavender from the lavender festival in Albuquerque.
