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.

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.

I love simple one-dish meals and this one is not only easy but wonderfully full of flavor. The chicken is very tender since it's simmered in the flavorful broth. I found, however, that it called for more liquid than needed for the couscous I used, so adjust that if needed. The toasted almonds on top were the perfect touch.
