    Pumpkin with coconutPin

    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!

      Oh this looks like such a fantastic recipe! I like the contrast of sweet from the pumpkin with the savory spice of cumin.

      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!"
