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.

2 tablespoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Preheat a wok or large skillet over high heat; add 2 teaspoons of peanut oil. Stir-fry the green peppers and onions for 2 minutes and remove. Add the walnuts and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove. Add the rest of the oil and stir-fry half of the chicken for 2 minutes.
Return all the chicken to the wok and stir in the soy mixture. Cook and stir until bubbly. Stir in the vegetables and walnuts, cover and cook for 1 minute.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
