Hi there, my friends, how are you keeping?

I am writing to you this evening to share this easy pumpkin dinner recipe for you. It's a compilation of several vegetables, legumes, and fruits.

It's with my greatest hope, that you'll love this pumpkin recipe and include it in your weekly meal planner. It packs very well to be a takeaway lunch too.

This easy pumpkin & broccoli dinner needs a bit of prep beforehand. But not to worry; the final taste of the final dish is worth all the cutting and dicing work, trust me.

If you really need a shortcut, use your food processor to shred and cut some of the veggies. 

How to Prepare this Pumpkin & Broccoli Stir-Fry

I sauteed the broccoli separately to avoid overcooking them and I wanted to maintain their green color. However, you can cook the broccoli with other ingredients, to make everything easy.

For some protein, I added tempeh and chickpeas, making this dish a filling, one-pot meal. It's also rich in dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins, making it all you need for a filling dinner.

Is Soy Healthy for Your Pumpkin & Broccoli Stir-Fry?

I know you might have questions regarding soy food. To assure you, soy if not GMO, and if it's organically grown has no side effect on our health. 

Using certain soy products has been linked to a 30-35% reduction in the risk of thyroid cancer, according to the American Association for Cancer Research. And that's not all. Research articles published by the MDPI journal actually found a link to reduced prevalence of hormone-dependent cancers among people who follow Asian diets rich in soy products. Take a look at the details of what the MDPI found here.

Enjoy this low carb vegan dinner made with pumpkin and broccoli without feeling any guilt. It's filling, healthy, and really delicious.

It's a dinner recipe that you can adapt to the seasons, thus making sure you are always eating enough of vegetables.

I send you my love, hoping to read from you soon in the comments here below. After you finish your meal and you've confirmed how finger-licking good it is, please like and share this recipe.

My love to you, Githu.
