Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks and cook until very soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 2 minutes.

Hey everyone!  I’m on a mission to find recipes to cook pumpkin!  Not pumpkin pulp and not desserts (although, I will have dessert recipes listed on here, never fear).  Just good ole chunks of pumpkin, or pumpkin slices.  I will post the recipes I find on here, but I would love to hear from you if you have any you’d like share.

Thanks for stopping by!
