Okra, tomato, and green pepper with veggie broth and white rice makes a healthy and satisfying meal and even better leftovers.

1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 cups sliced okra
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tablespoons butter
1 packet imitation ham powder, available in the Kosher food section
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
1 dash Cajun seasoning (more if desired)
1 cup boiling vegetable broth or water
hot, cooked white rice
Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter. When melted, add the onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are soft.
Add the tomato, okra, mushrooms, imitation ham powder, oregano, Cajun seasoning, and boiling broth or water. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the gumbo thickens, about 45 minutes. If the gumbo is too thick, add additional broth or water as desired.
Serve the gumbo over hot, cooked rice.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
