Hay Hay it’s Donna Day is back after a short but sweet summer break. The past couple weeks I have been tweeting and asking, what do you want. Sweet? Savory? Everyone came back with savory. Savory it is. I picked an easy and delicious spicy chicken dish with pumpkin. Vegetarians – let’s see your take on this recipe, maybe a little tofu or just an extra dose of pumpkin? Don’t have pumpkin available in your part of the world, maybe add some butternut squash or kabocha?
