Pumpkin Chicken Curry & Rice

Sep 12, 2024

Is it too early for pumpkin recipes? Starbucks is doing it, so I figure I can too.. right?

I know it's not fall YET, but I have officially started making fall inspired recipes and this pumpkin chicken curry really hits the spot!! It's a perfect meal to prep ahead at the beginning of the week & freeze some for a rainy day.

Also, before we dive into the recipe I wanted to remind you of my 30 Day Meal Prep Challenge starting next Monday, Sept 16th! We have a great group of people registered so far and there are still spots available!

If you'd like to have a library of healthy recipes, insights into ways to plan and prep on a busy schedule, and have accountability (including weekly challenges and prizes!) then join us for this 30 Day Challenge!
