Happy Monday everyone! Are you enjoying your Fall so far? The trees are so beautiful here in Tennessee. All the fall colors take my breath away! I think Autumn just might be my favorite time of the year, although, I may claim that with every season:) Something about this time of year puts me in the mood for pumpkin! Some of my very favorites are these pumpkin pancakes, this pumpkin bread, these amazing pumpkin spice rolls and now this amazing pumpkin curry! I have rarely used pumpkin for anytihng but sweet baking, but I am realizing that it fantastic in savory dishes too! My sister Brittany made this dish for me when I went to visit her last fall. She used a rotisierre chicken instead of the shrimp and it was amazing that way too! I fell in love and made it several times for my family when I got home. I am not sure how we forgot to share this little gem here, but now you have it! I know that some of you may be a little reluctant to add pumpkin to curry, but trust me it works…beautifully! YUM! The perfect Fall dinner! Hope you enjoy!
My weekly menu is up today here.
