1/3 cup dry white wine or reduced sodium chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground white pepper

In a large skillet heat oil over medium high heat. Cook onion, uncovered, in hot oil for 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Slowly add wine or broth, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes or until liquid is nearly evaporated. Add 1/4 cup of the cashews and the half and half or light cream.
Bring to boiling. Reduce heat to medium. Cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes. Stir in cooked green beans. Spoon mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole. Top with bread crumbs and remaining cashews. Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes or until top browns and mixture is heated through.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
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.

A new take on an old favorite -- and a nice change from the cream-of-whatever soup versions! We used white wine (you can use broth) and heavy cream to give it a slightly thicker consistency. You can use frozen green beans, just cook them as directed on the package and proceed with the recipe.
