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.

My kids don't usually love meals that have cottage cheese in them (they will eat it but don't rave about it). This one, they loved! Thanks for a new family favorite!
