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.

Just one nitpicking thing, I think this is supposed to say "broil until golden" not grill. That's what I did anyway. Quite rich and tasty. I liked the combo of the scallops and potatoes.
