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.

This fried rice recipe takes on Thai like flavors with the addition of fish sauce in place of the more commonly used soy sauce. You can find fish sauce in most larger grocery stores or at an Asian market.

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!

We are fortunate to have a Thai restaurant, one of the best ever, near us. This receipie is o.k., but the local restaurant skips the egg and adds sliced cucumbers and tomato wedges. A sprig of cilantro on top. It has to be served hot...very hot, to be the best. Ohhhhh, Yeah!
