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.

This is a little more work than the regular way of cooking couscous in boiling water but using this method each grain gets fully plumped up and is very tender. When I have time, I will be cooking it like this again (but it takes nearly an hour whereas regular couscous only takes about 6-7 minutes).
