Green Tomato Gravy

Green tomatoes are for more than just slicing up and frying. This Creole-seasoned gravy is good on everything from pork chops and veggies to a cheesy bowl of grits. Throw in some Tabasco if you want extra heat.

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.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
