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.

I had the best time making these for lunch today. I was out of barley, so I used leftover basmati rice in its place. Big hit with my niece. Perfect portion for 2 hearty eaters. I don't eat the pepper part, but my niece does. The filling is delicious by itself also.

I'm always looking for a way to incorporate different and healthy grains into my diet and this recipe is perfect. Tasty, filling, easy to make and a hit with me and my husband. I left out the corn because of its glycemic index. The only negative is that it was a little dry so I added another can of tomato sauce the second time I made it which ended up too moist. Tonight I tried an extra half can and it was just right for my taste.
