Dinner in a Pumpkin


It's a wonderful time of year, when we can turn decorations into food. And what a superfood it is! Pumpkin is extremely high in fiber, low in calories, and is a jackpot for vitamins C & E. Not to mention, beta carotene.


If you're sick of pumpkin soup, pumpkin spice lattes, and pumpkin ravioli (a personal favorite of mine), here's a brand new pumpkin recipe - and it doesn't even require a pot to cook it in! Pumpkins are mother nature's slow cooker. Simply clean out the pumpkin, saving the seeds of course, and stuff it full of yummy seasonal ingredients. I used leftover roasted chicken, and this small sugar pumpkin quickly turned into a hearty meal that could feed up to 4 people. You could easily use beef or sausage in place of the chicken, or even omit the meat for some black beans.
