Another wintery meal for dinner over at my place. What I really like is how easy it is and it is nearly like another version of shepard's pie! The use of pumpkin adds to the sweetness and the pine nuts adds a lovely crunch to an otherwise boring dish!
We froze this and had it for dinner on a weeknight- the flavors are even better then.

I like the use of pumpkin instead of mashed potatoes. Sure looks like a good eat. :)
Me too...pumpkin adds a hint of sweetness and a nutty-buttery flavor...:)
