Terra, I love this recipe! I remember you shared this with your WW group and it introduced me to the concept of using pumpkin as a filler in recipes. It was absolutely genius!! 🙂 I have been struggling with my meal prep time here lately, but this recipe is one that I am making time to prepare and will live in my rotation for the duration of fall and winter! Thx a bunch girlfriend!
You are sooooo welcome, Yvette!!!!! I have a pumpkin dessert idea coming out on the next Tasty Tuesday!!! Keep an eye out & let me know what you think!!!!!
Looks great, and I’m focusing on eating more and different veggies. I’m burnt out on grilled asparagus/mushrooms! Due to weather conditions, I am breaking out the wok, and this will give me another option.
The wok sounds like a great idea!!!! So many options!!!!
