What to do with so many pumpkins and butternut squash? Of course you can make pies and soup, but how about something different? Here is a simple and delicious side dish made with pumpkin.
It's fall here in the Northeast and there are pumpkins everywhere. It is hard not to cook with them. I have to confess that it is the first time I cooked with pumpkins and I loved it!
Buen provecho!

I've never cooked with pumpkin, except for canned! Looks delicious, love it with the coconut, and there's a lot of nice flavors going on in that dish!
I came over to visit from Tomatoes on the Vine and I'm glad I stopped by, you have a delicious site!

I feel so boring - I never would have paired pumpkin and curry but I am tasting it in my head and nodding, "yes!"
