A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Tender sea scallops marinated in a blend of olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs, then grilled to golden brown perfection. Taste the Mediterranean without the airfare.

1/2 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound sea scallops, rinsed and patted dry
salt, to taste
fresh lemon wedges
In a shallow dish, cover eight 10-inch bamboo skewers with water and set aside to soak.
With a mortar and pestle or the bottom of a small saucepan crush fennel seeds. Combine them in a bowl with thyme, oregano, garlic powder, pepper and oil.
Add scallops and toss gently to coat. Cover the bowl or transfer the scallops to a zippered plastic bag. Refrigerate for 6 to 10 hours.
Prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Divide the scallops between the skewers, threading them through the sides. Season with salt.
Grill until golden brown on both sides and opaque in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.

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.
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.
