This was a huge hit in our house! I did not get a picture of the dish this time around but I will next time. Here is the recipe, I found on Wellness Mama but made some modifications. It is fantastic and will be a Parish fall staple!

• 3 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 teaspoon himalayan salt
• 2  teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional)
• 1 can of beans of your choice ( I use a mix of black, pinto and kidney beans)

3. Add the pureed pumpkin, beans.  diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, stock and spices.
