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 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.

I have made this quiche recipe several times and its really really good. The last time I made it I didn't have any chicken on hand and I was in a pinch. So I prepared it without - and it was just as good. Who doesn't love a great quiche recipe? Print and/or save this one - it's a keeper!
