I don’t know about you, but for me, it’s the sides that really make holiday meals. And although the traditional dishes are always enjoyed, I love one or two healthy new items thrown into the mix. So this year, I was excited to discover this sauteed pumpkin recipe. It’s easy, flavorful, seasonal, and fits almost every dietary need.
