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.

Instead of zucchini I used green bell peppers and used white onion instead of red.

I love nachos but my hips don't! I have to say I was very intrigued by the healthier ingredients in this recipe. Carrots, zucchini? Ok, I'm game! While it isn't of course just like nachos you get at a restaurant, it is a pretty decent substitute if you are looking to cut some calories. I will definitely make this again when I'm craving them but don't want to pack on pounds just to satisfy a snack attack!
