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
peanut oil, for frying
2 medium onions, finely chopped
1 cup green peppers, chopped fine
1/3 cup red pepper, chopped fine
1/4 cup celery, chopped fine
1 fresh jalapeno, minced
2 pounds ground or chopped fine conch
3 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon baking powder
directions
Fill a large frying pan with 2 inches of oil and heat to 375 degrees F on a deep - fry thermometer or use a fry daddy.
In a large bowl, combine onions, green and red pepper, celery, jalapeno, parsley, garlic and conch. Stir in beaten egg.
Slowly mix in flour, then add cayenne pepper, sage salt, Parmesan cheese and baking powder. Stir until mix holds together well. Add a few drops of bottled hot sauce. Drop "formed" balls into oil.
Fry until golden brown and they are floating. Let oil regain it temperature before dropping in next batch. If the centers are too moist either reduce size of the ball or lower the oil temperature.

Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
