I have two lovely pumpkin recipes to share with everyone today and to mix it up from the usual sweet pumpkin recipes I have been posting they are both savory meals! I was so excited to see the other day an article about how good pumpkin is for your heart, which is awesome. I always knew that pumpkins were full of beta-carotene which is also so good for you (and your eyes) but I was happy to find out that they are even more healthy than I knew! So be good to your heart and eyes, eat more pumpkin! Yum

This was so satisfying!
Recipe:
1 cup brown rice
1/2 cup pureed pumpkin
stir these together in a pot until the pumpkin is all blended in and creamy.
Then add 1 TBS teriyaki sauce
Stir in 2 cups of mixed vegetables. I used mushrooms, carrots, peas, corn and green beans.
Add spices depending on how spicy you like it. I added cayenne and red pepper flakes.
Top off with a little soy sauce and enjoy! This recipe can be changed in so many ways!
